CAPS Rating:

The Company, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a pharmaceutical and Traditional Chinese Medicine company which develops, manufactures and commercializes both plant-based pharmaceutical and plant-based nutraceutical products.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

My father-in-law runs a much smaller but quite successful business in the same niche, but exports mostly to S. Korea (herbal supplements and remedies, etc.). Fact is, Asians love buying anything that someone says is good for their health, whether it's true or not. And there's no way traditional Ch...More

Recs 0 (AOB) tuffsledding (99.94) Submitted: 5/13/08 10:47 PM : Start Price: $12.12 AOB Score: -10.42 Expect volatility, but if Chinese pharmaceutical usage begins to rise from its current very low level (compared to western countries), this company will reap huge benefits. With the growth of Chinese economy, rapid increase in disposable income and the desire to adopt western ways, this could be a rocket (or a dud, if the naysayers are correct). Not for the faint of heart, but a worthwhile gamble here in CAPS. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.
