Avoid China stocks (fund) now:

Invasion of the Chinese Reverse Mergers: “We Are Under Attack,” Josh Brown Says
By Aaron Task | Daily Ticker – Fri, May 20, 2011

Earlier this week, China s top general sought to downplay China s military capabilities and its threat to the U.S. Gen. Chen Bingde said China s recent efforts to upgrade its military have "aroused unfounded suspicions."

But make no mistake, the U.S. is "under attack" from China, according to John Brown, VP at Fusion Analytics. The attack is not coming in the form of bombs and bullets — or even poison toothpaste — but via the financial markets.

"Let s not get distracted here, we should simply focus on the accounting chicanery and falsified filings with which Chinese companies are daily relieving US investors of their capital," Brown writes at his blog The Reformed Broker. "Working with American law firms and shameless stock promoters, these companies have found a financial engineering solution that lets them steal on our shores."

Specifically, Brown cites the trend of Chinese companies going public via so-called reverse mergers, whereby a publicly traded American-based shell company, often designed for this very purpose, issues a larger number of shares to purchase a Chinese company. The Chinese company then becomes the majority shareholder and essentially assumes the public listing of its American parent.

"It s a backdoor IPO," Brown says. "Let s be realistic about what this is all about: This is about gaining a foothold on U.S. exchanges, doing a secondary, raising a boatload of money, insiders sell, and then all of a sudden oops we may have misstated earnings."

The past two months have brought a spate of de-listings and trading halts for these companies -- at least 24 according to the SEC. Forbes Walter Pavlo recently detailed a smattering of them:

* China Electric Motor — Shareholders lawsuit filed claiming underwriters violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading information.
* China Natural Gas — Class action lawsuit alleges directors and officers issued materially false and misleading statements. CFO of company resigned in late 2010.
* Duoyuan Printing — SEC investigating company for fraud, NYSE delisted April 4, 2011
* China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc. — Deloitte quit as auditor because "no longer able to rely on the representations of management". CFO resigned. Stock trading halted March 11
* China Agritech — Shareholder lawsuit pending. Dismissed its auditor Ernst & Young.
* China Sky One Medical — Under investigation by SEC.
* Orient Paper, Inc. — Reauditing previous financials due to license issues with previous auditor (Davis Accounting Group)

"The common threat is revenue exaggeration," Brown says. "It s an absolute joke. To a certain extent we are being invaded; we are under attack."

金融時報:對抗中國泡沫經濟 時機已到

【大紀元2011年06月05日訊】(大紀元記者黃凱熙綜合報導)美國渾水(Muddy Waters)研究公司創辦人Carson Block,揭發在加拿大上市的中企嘉漢林業,誇大公司在中國雲南臨滄市的森林投資額達九億美元,而實際只持有公司宣稱的十分之一投資。嘉漢林業的醜聞消息被披露後,週四(2日)的股價即下跌20%,週五股價更是以兵敗如山倒走勢,大跌64%,以5.23加元收盤。

泡沫企業假財報 投資人慘重失金

被不實財報誆騙損失慘重的最大受害者,是有「沽神」稱號的知名對沖基金經理鮑爾森(John Paulson)。嘉漢林業(Sino Forest)是鮑爾森旗下的基金投資組合中,最重要的投資標的公司之一,鮑爾森原本是嘉漢林業最大的股東,持有嘉漢林業14.13%的股份。據報導,鮑爾森在嘉漢林業受消息面的衝擊,股價應聲大幅下滑之際,也分批拋售嘉漢林業的持股,他的投資損失高達26億加元。

英國《金融時報》(Financial Times)針對嘉漢林業,以不實浮誇的財報誆騙投資人資金的醜聞,撰文嘲諷:「嘉漢林業是近來教導企業,如何快速致富的最佳典範:只要任何一家公司,掛上中共國營投資的名號,再透過反向收購的手法,到海外掛牌上市,就是企業瞬間牟取暴利的最佳經營策略。」

中共財經部門與專家,信誓旦旦的不斷鼓吹中國經濟的榮景與成長率,是否也和海外上市的中企財務報表一樣的華而不實且不可信呢?至今已有不少專門研究中國經濟真相內幕的國際財經學者,不斷提出實證並警告表示,中國經濟早處於泡沫幻滅前的臨界點。

只是忠言逆耳,受害者總是在利益誘騙的大餅前,喪失了理智的投資判斷力,其中不乏有國家、跨國企業、中小企業、法人投資基金等機構,在血本無歸、翻本無望時,才知道想起逆耳的忠言和慘痛的前車之鑑。

證管會大斬中企 不良公司紛下市

其實,中國經濟已泡沫化的跡象,早就有跡可循。中國高速頻道(China MediaExpress Holdings Inc.,CCME)在美國納斯達克(Nasdaq)電子證劵交易所中,股價在連續6星期的交易日中,跌幅超過50%,交易所已在三月令其下市;中國農業技術(China Agritech)在納斯達克對它除牌下市前,去年的股價已下跌超過60%。

這些體質不良,但專靠偽造財報,來吸取市場資金的中資企業,想當然而的在證管會質疑財報不實,而命令其除牌下市時,必定是一貫的否認到底。

然而,美國證管會對財報灌水、股價狂跌的上市中資企業,祭出除牌的殺手鐧,不失是做出一個考慮深遠且周詳的決策。

這是對昔日證劵管理單位躁進不察,讓這些不良企業掛牌,沒有善盡監督之責後,應做的止血措施;也是對一時受騙而購買不良股票的投資者,使其不再血本無歸的最佳保障。

康平預言落空 「521末日」變笑話

89歲的加州布道家康平(Harold Camping)預言的「5月21日世界末日」、「最後審判日」,在全球各地按所屬時區相繼度過他預言的傍晚6時以後,被證明已是「天大的笑話」。他預言的超級大地震、地球毀滅也都未發生。密切關注這一天的各方媒體以嘲謔語氣,索性稱5月21日為「世界笑話日」。

一些深信康平「末日預言」的信徒,幾個月、甚至年多前已辭去工作,來到他創辦的「家庭電台」奧克蘭總部外紮營,等待審判到來。但21日隨著時間一秒秒流失,這些人的失望與困惑都寫在臉上。

康平21日全天都未露面,對外界也未發一語,他經營的家庭電台則播放預錄的與「世界末日」無關的教會音樂。電台辦公樓貼著「辦公室關門。我們想念你」的告示。

在紐約時報廣場,曾斥資14萬美元在全美各地製作「世界末日」標語的退休捷運工人費茲派翠克(Robert Fitzpatrick)手裡拿著「聖經」,一邊向人們發傳單,一邊喃喃自語:「我不知道為什麼(沒有發生)...」。

曾在1994年預言審判將至,結果落空的康平,當時辯稱是「計算錯誤」,結果被人恥笑。21日不少人再次嘲笑他,等著看他如何再強辯。

根據康平預言的末日時刻,紐西蘭與一些太平洋島嶼是全球最早經歷毀滅性天崩地裂的區域之一,不過當地在21日晚6時過後一切平靜,末日預言不攻自破。從那一刻起,就不斷有人透過媒體嘲笑康平。波曼在推特上寫道︰「我來自紐西蘭,現在是21日晚6時零6分,世界『沒有』結束,這裡沒有地震,所有等候末日的人現在可以鬆口氣了。」

另一則網站貼文說︰「東加仍在地圖上」。東加比紐西蘭快一小時。吉里巴斯的聖誕島也沒有發生超級強震。澳洲也沒碰到天崩地裂,也沒殭屍末日。」一名網友嘲笑說:「沒有看到殭屍從墳墓中爬出來,實在讓人失望。」

在電視上主持科學節目的考克斯(Brian cox)說,「我們應該假裝世界末日正在發生,以便康平覺得他只有沒有趕上而非常生氣」。一位名希利的網友說,「明天當那些康平的信徒真正感到沮喪的時候,我們千萬不要說『開心點,這又不是世界末日』。」

(well, I never will listen to those people think themselves as God & can predict the future); Yes, according to science the sun will be burned out in 1000+ million years and the earth will come to an end at that day... But, that is far, far away... just don t listen to those people BS)
