Why am I buying Yanzijiang and JES International now

Zen, did you buy Yangzijiang at 80 cents a few months ago? Now it's 93 cents liao. I have no idea why it's showing strength these couple of days. Market can be a bit siao.

ship-building industry will not recover in near term. however, yangzijiang remains a good counter to buy as compared to its peer. i have bought 100000 shares at 0.97, and sold out 50000 at 1.35. glad that the share price is recovering now

Congrats on the realised gain on YZJ, Darrick. What other stocks are you optimistic on?

BEIJING — China’s State Council has issued a three-year plan to upgrade and restructure its troubled shipbuilding industry through 2015, a further move to stabilise economic growth through reform, the official Xinhua news agency reported yesterday.

The sector faces “unprecedented, severe challenges” as a lack of new orders — due to weakness in the global shipping market — has exacerbated overcapacity in the industry, the news agency said, citing a government document. Concurrently, companies should be confident as “the potential in the domestic market remains relatively large”.

China, the world’s biggest shipbuilding nation, may see a third of its more than 1,600 shipyards shut down in about five years, according to Mr Wang Jinlian, head of the industry association. The sector is among those, including iron and steel, cement, electrolytic aluminium and flat glass, that must accelerate the phasing-out of overcapacity, according to a July 24 statement from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings, the largest shipbuilder outside state control by order book, warned last month it had made a net loss in the first half, saying it was seeking financial support from the government and shareholders after a plunge in orders strained cash flow.

The company said on July 31 it would issue convertible bonds to raise a net HK$1.38 billion (S$226 million) for working capital and to support the development of its offshore engineering business.

The main focus of the State Council’s plan will be to accelerate innovation, strictly control new capacity, promote high-end products and stabilise the industry’s international market share with greater funding support, Xinhua said. Local authorities and agencies should formulate supporting policies and ensure the timely completion of targets, it added...
