this RMB2 trillion. The MOR has also announced it will spend at least RMB500b on rolling stock

Fruitful trip to China
We visited Midas last week where we had a positive first-hand look at its aluminium alloy division
in Jilin Province and the NPRT operations in Nanjing, PRC. In this visit, we also had insightful
discussions with the local operations management about the business and industry prospects.
Overall expansion plans appear on track.
Promising progress of 3
rd extrusion line and downstream fabricationMidas is in the midst of installing its 3
from 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes. We now expect this to be operational by end 09/ early 10.
Downstream fabrication machineries are also being installed at its new site, which we believe will
put Midas further ahead of the competition when they are ready by 2H09.
rd production line, which would increase its annual capacity32.5%-owned NPRT to step up a gear this year
NPRT is in the midst of an aggressive capacity expansion plan, backed by its strong S$1b
orderbook. Based on our discussion with the NPRT management, we believe the delivery
schedule for this year will be 3-4 times higher than FY08. To cope with the increase, manpower
has increased from 500 (end 2008) to 900 now.
China Ministry of Railway to continue its train-set buying spree
China’s MOR recently signed a deal with the China Northern Railway Group (CNR) for the
purchase of 100 high-speed train sets. This is equivalent to 1,600 train cars or the requirement of
about 16,000 tonnes of aluminium alloy extrusion products for its train bodies. Industry sources
reveal that this is the harbinger for another 700 train set purchases over the next 3-5 years.
Unstoppable momentum!
NPRT’s delivery schedule for FY09 gives us optimism that our associate earnings estimates can
be met. Given that organic expansion plans will likely only bear fruit for FY10, NPRT will be the
main contributor to bottom-line growth for FY09. We have kept our estimates and target price of
S$0.68 based on SOTP unchanged.
On track up alittle

Range Trading can profit when market is down.. opposite when market up. But risk is high when a sudden halt for good news annoucemnt will wipe clean the gain by doing naked shorting. (This one got institutional interest counter) Anyway, insider have been buying up at much much higher price over the years. 5 year track record, div record and fundamental due to the china gov spend have been good.. (Rather long than short on this one)
Other stocks also dropped alot, can gain by shorting also.. But the risk is high on this one, history show it has many sudden upsurge also..
I vested since 28cent buying all the way up with afew cover short when it move up to fast.. (The up are sudden as well). But this is one of the counter to stay vested in at this price.. as sales looking to double in 2009.. (Doing range trading better be covered, naked is not advisable on this one)
Prudent is the game, all it takes is one big surge like at 30cent to 37cent based on historical will wipe clean the profit. Check the historical data.. See many people become bankrupt before, no one is smarter than the market.
I still believe 2009 Dec 31 price will be higher than the current still got 300 more days to result
