    What do people here think of JADE

    Reply Quote
    I thought it might look good as a long term investment due to

    1. Book value per share

    2. Seems to have stronger management and profits over competition

    3. The Recreational items industry is supposed to go up

    Opinions?

    First, who told you that recreational (discretionary) items industry is supposed to go up? It will eventually but that might take a couple years. More importantly, JADE is based in Hong Kong (can you really trust their numbers?) they haven't put out any quarterly reports in a long time and are soon to be delisted from Nasdaq. See their website. They are also being sued by their previous investors.

    Also, their book value is partly based on whatever price sticker they put on their merchandise (inventory). As you can imagine, it's pretty meaningless in this case.

    Your probably right I am not saying I would invest in it or even advise it; just wanting opinoins.

    I'll second that. While in December of 2006, the stock looked decent, there hasn't been any report since; it's last annual report was 2006. Also, it is trading at $3 per share so it's virtually in the penny stock arena, thus it's best to stay away. My opinion on penny stocks is to not invest in them unless there is an underlying business reason to do so that would compel you to decide to make a venture capital investment.

    Why buy a stock that is trading at a low price (i.e. 1 cent to $3) when it may be just as or more expensive than an equivalent $30 per share stock? Looking at PE and PEG as well as price trend (for momentum or value) as well as looking at the annual report, listening to the conference calls, and researching the various product lines is probably the best way to invest.
