RE: This Chinese Steel Producer is on the Rebound! (GSI)

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:52:25 EDT

Thanks for your comments, bay-networks but you only wish you had bought it 14 days ago when I did my review. If you had, you'd be up 31% now! However there still might be time for you to make some money with this company. GSI is riding a more regional trend in China. It's a diversified steel producer. It's fortified by a national economy that grew an amazing 11.9% last year -- China's fifth straight year of double-digit growth. At the end of June, General Steel acquired a 99% interest in privately owned Maoming Hengda Steel Group, which is currently operating at only a 10% capacity. That is going to grow big time. With plans to boost production at Hengda from 180,000 tons a year to 1 million tons by the fourth quarter, more than a few investors argue that General Steel should be the next stock you buy. I believe this company will beat the S&P going forward. Buy now while you can still get in at a reasonable price.

RE: 7.3% Dividend Anyone! (PEY)

It took a hit today because 64% of its holdings are in the financial sector and as you know, they did not do so well today. But it does hold a large (as in 50) mix of companies that have increased their dividend for 10 consecutive years. Many of these companies have great growth records and will rebound and make it through this recent turmoil we're having and trade at higher prices, and that includes the financials. When that happens, it's going to make the run to $10.50.
