CAPS Rating:

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 members 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.

98 EPS rating in IBD yet terribly beaten down. I usually don't pick stuff not already in an uptrend, but with that kind of EPS growth, I've gotta thumb this one up.

Recs 1 (XIN) Volibolero (59.13) Submitted: 10/14/08 10:34 PM : Start Price: $2.32 XIN Score: -4.87 Currently, I live in China. Homes are typically purchased with 30% down. In my opinion, there is very little "artificial demand" created by easy money or leverage in the middle income housing market here. As a massive population shift is currently underway in China from rural to urban... housing demand is real, very large, growing fast, and difficult to stop. Ultimately, I am reasonably confident that this source of demand (internal Chinese population migration) is very much uncorrelated (in the long term) with other sources of return currently found in your portfolio, making XIN an ideal diversification addition. However, in the short term, all correlations converge to 1, as fear trumps any other emotion in times of crisis. This creates an opportunity for the disciplined contrarian investor who can now buy a fast growing, operationally profitable firm for price just above cash per share and expected earnings per share and well below book value... in one of the largest future markets in the world. Also, remember that Sam Zell (one of the most successful real estate investors in recent times) is a major equity investor in XIN and has already successfully implemented this "high turnover, assembly-line, middle-income real estate development" strategy before...Homex in Mexico and Gafisa in Brazil. Here is an old article that discusses both: http://www.reuters.com/article/companyNewsAndPR/idUSN2520346020070525. Finally, institutional coverage and investment is currently minimal, but as more money targets China in the future, XIN will surely receive more attention and investors. XIN has simply been pulled down recently, as anything related to China or Real Estate has been destroyed by the unwinding of the housing market bubble and China stock market bubble, but not all homebuilders are the same... and not all Chinese stocks are the same. For long term contrarian thinkers, XIN is a WIN at this price. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

Bought shares at $4.10. I'm sticking to my gut and riding this one out, I'm more than sure that with the China-Russia-India alliance and the growth of China itself will send this stock back up into the $18 range if not more. But hey do not take it from me, this is just my opinion. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out.

I got in at $1.88. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment. Check to see if there's something you left out.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
