http://wiki.fool.com/The_Graham_Number Formula: Fair value=Sqrt(22.5*EPS*BV) I expanded it a little by also using EPS Normalized and Tangible BV.
1st figured GNVR: $17.39 to $18.97
Previous GNVR: $17.62 to $17.67
Updated GNVR: $15.59 to $17.84

The lower price of the 1st part of the range is due to JST's expansion construction of new and upgraded manufacturing facilities.
I'm still Long on JST
My personal cost basis is $5.34

I still like this stock but have been verydisappointed in its direction. Down ever since I got it around 10 almost 2 years ago. . It's not a big part of my holdings but should I double down here around 5?? Could it be dropping due to changing interest in wind generated electricity? I know they have a location in the states, are there problems in the market. . I feel like I don't have all the information since it keeps sliding.

Yes

japan is coming back, undervalued, low debt

somewhat consistent earnings growth, low valuation based on earnings and book value, and low debt. also, i think there is a foreseeable demand for it's products.

12/17

It's undervalued, it's profitable, and China isn't going to use less electricity any time soon.

If this company can earn 1.5 in the next year or two and grow at 20%, it will generate great returns.

Solid fundimentals.

A strong competitor in the cast resin transformer industry in Asia and Europe. It is a very competitive industry but, with a strong back log of orders and an asia-centric location Jinpan looks over sold at this price. With a 25% growth outlook over the next few years I am a buyer around $10.

I like the growth prospects of this stock.

It is currently near the low end of its swings over the last year. This is a momentum play only. I know nothing about the business.

Low P/E. Stronger than average margins. Int'l business opportunities.

Power transformer manufacturer based in China, serving the Chinese market. As China's economy continues to develop, expect solid growing demand for power infrastructure investments to benefit Jinpan. Pays a reasonable dividend.

Bought shares in MRLP today at 11.87 / share. It scares me how small this cap is on this stock, but year after year this thing keeps plugging away in an economy that is a growth machine. Stock trades at about Net Book Value as well, so I'm going ahead and taking a chance that this isn't a scam, but actually a genuine company with real growth potential. If this ends up being true, then the PE on this stock should expand significantly, and the return on the stock should be great even if earnings don't grow all that much.
