wow, gone up again. Apology, didnt manage to post 'TheEdge' cos its in hard copy, no soft copy available. For readers information, TheEdge is a weekly investment magazine available at selected bookshops. Price is $3, half price if you subscribe. I got mine from Kinokunya. Most of the time stocks featured in the magazine will move up the wk after featured.
I'm typing out selected portion of the article for forumers's view (no time to type all) 
:
Japan Land was an e-commerce outfit known as Wizoffice.com when it listed on the Singapore Exchange in 2000, just as the dotcom mania reached its apex. In the wake of the bust that quickly followed, the company attempted to recast itself as a financial services firm called Japan Asia Ltd, by orchestrating a reverse takeover of the Hong Kong-based Japan Asia Securities Group in 2003. However, the deal fell through in 2004.
The company finally found its destiny when it acquired 68% of specialist home builder KHC in March 2005 for $65.4million, in a deal that was financed by bank loans and bond insurances. ?it took us two years to improve Katsumi, and our own people run it now,? says Meno. ?We now believe that we have developed a good package in that company.? For the FY ended March 2007, Japan Land reported a rise of about 17% in net profit from $9.4 million to $11 million, driven by expanding business at KHC.
Meno expects KHC to continue making progress on its own, helped along by a modest recovery in Japan?s property sector. ?Personally speaking the market will not sharply rebound in the near future,? says Meno. ?It has been, and will remain, a bit dull, displaying small and steady growth.? In general, small and medium-sized homebuilders in Japan do not sit on large landbanks, a practice that developed during the property market?s meltdown over the past 15 years. Instead, they quickly build and sell homes on any land they acquire. That could change, however, if Japan?s residential property market stages a sustained recover, potentially boosting profit margins of homebuilders like KHC.
?After improvement in the corporate sector, the salary for employees has been improving,? says Takeshi Akagi, associate director of research and advisory at Jones Lang LaSalle. ?As consumers are more ale to pay their rent for housing, the value of residential properties will rise accordingly. However, considering the the value of residential property is stable by nature, the pace at which it rises will be slow, and not drastic, unlike office space.?
The Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation survey of 2006 revealed that land prices rose 0.6% in Kobe and 2.3% in Osaka. Osaka is located a few hours? drive from Kobe, and the two cities are in the Kansai region.
With their strongest arm able to run on its own steam, Japan Land now has the flexibility to look into other areas of expansion. ?Katsumi is a self-operating unit now and is growing well on its own,? says Teh, the CFO. ?So we are looking into other areas that do not require as much capital but offer better returns.?
That could help boost Japan Land?s improving bottom line further, and stoke up investor interest in the company. Shares in Japan Land have doubled since 2005 when the company acquired KHC, and was trading at nine cents last week. The stock closed at nine cents last week. It doesn?t currently have any analyst coverage.
?The market sees Japan Land as Katsumi, but we are more than that,? says Teh. ?We have decided to diversify and we plan to keep doing so, as it is an important part of our plans and our strategy.?
vested. Happy reading and hope all rewarded...
But need to have patience...
I am also vested and slowly I shall increase my stake. It's a long cruise to Mount Fuji...............
All the way Japanland!!! Vested in both mother share & its warrants!!!
Hi! I am back to this counter.
Hi, Esmiley, thanks for the info.
Would you mind to post the article from " The Edge" in this forum & share with all of us here ? Many thanks!
Hi uychan12, sudden increase with huge volume is due to the article in weekly TheEdge Singapore dated 11 June titled 'Japan Land diversifies earnings base as homebuilding business takes off'. Positive article containing interviews with JapanLand's management.
Japan Land is off radar. How come no one mention of this co. Big volume accumulation yesterday and suddenly quiet. Then move again! Very unusual. No extraordinary news and ok company making decent profit. No hype about this share but it surged from 0.09 to 0.11. Steadily supported after each climb. Why, why tell me why?
Be market open, there was 11 millions of married deal, did anyone know what is happening?
it has been sometime since JL close at 0.1. Hope it can break the resistance. 
Buy only when cheap-cheap...
This can be one of the best strategies.
Another great strategy is:
Buy high sell higher...
Life is so complicated... hehe... :)
Just buy up will do .... JL prices did dip. Haiya! ... s'poreans just wanna buy cheap ... but must know what price is cheap, otherwise will never get the stock.

I've been trying so hard to get into Japan Land since 6 months ago, but no chance...
the queue is simply too long... :)

great to know tat 2 gurus are readin our tiny thread and provided us with sound advice. i vested at $0.105 and by the prediction of Terence think i will have to hold for at least 2 years. noname, hopefully u fare better than me.
I believe that what is required is patience. They are starting to have 3 million plus of revenue from their Internet Data Centre project. So just to update you guys, Japan Land is the developer for this project. After the development, they will be engaged in the management of this Internet Data Centre. I believe maybe the company has high borrowings at the moment thats why people are not willing to push the stock up. But as they pay off their borrowings, the price should gradually move up.
Anyway, my target for year end is 11 cents.
