A report in Saturday's Telegraph - "China has been the New Klondike for a Decade", gives details of disasters that have overtaken the many firms who have sought to cash in on China's booming economy. But it concludes on a highly optimistic note, describing a maturing business climate and an affluent community that that is now emerging, and so better enabling entreprenuers to establish themselves there successfully. Such reports seem to appear regularly nowadays, suggesting to me that this is very much the right time to be investing in China.
PCM has been around, and in the doldrums, for a long time and I feel more and more confident that its time has come.
A trawl through google has disclosed quite a lot of Pacific Medias, at least one of them in Silicon Valley, but happily I could not find any other plcs.
Will keep watching.

I checked out the website and found it well designed with some interesting products. feather bras! tooth whitening kits (do the chinese worry about white teeth I wonder) an exclusive line of cosmetics for TV sales and in the department stores. I think you're right squidd--the chinese are ready to buy we just have to wait for the profits to roll in!!

Moneyplus,

The affluent Asians are very keen on th latest beauty products such as white teeth. Look to Thailand and ask why everything is branded whitening cream ;-)

Thanks all. Driver-I'm computer illiterate no professionals my end!

Don't worry we will hold yer hand.

Some nice buys today.

squidd - 31 May 2005 15:37 - 68 of 572

Yes driver, mine among them, I'm still topping up. I get the feeling the AIM market is brightening up as the Sell in May brigade evaporate.

The AIM market might be brightening up but pcm is on the main.
Sill topping up, leave some for the rest of us.

squidd - 01 Jun 2005 02:27 - 70 of 572

Driver: Yes, thanks for that. I was probably thinking of ULT where I've just read your post and kicking myself for being left out. I was waiting till they moved over to AIM before buying, and then lost track of them.

If you don't know any thing about ULT, you must know that you will be able to get in at a lower level, it always drops back. I am a average downer on that stock, with the belief that one day it will take off.

I must be very ignorant, leading a sheltered life in some Hampshire backwater, 'cos I didn't know who Edgar Bronfman was, but Google quickly filled me in. E.B. senior (our man) has been described as King of the Jews, whilst only last month, E.B. Jr. was described as one of the world's most powerful men.
Have a read, they seem to be just the family for a PR job, and dad seems to be the right choice for us; Jr. though, is a leading exponent of cash-burn.

I know Driver but that has got to be better than no involvement at all, he would not get involved until his advisers thought that it would be a good thing for him.
So read into that what you will.

Thanks for that, very interesting

cavman2
Thanks for the lead.

driver,
IMHO this is going to blow sometime, there several powerfull business men running this and I don't think they want the scraps from the table.

I see whay you mean.

The Edgar Bronfmans, senior and junior, are always great theater, and never more than in the past few weeks. Edgar Bronfman Sr.--in his role of Aged Wisdom--has just published Good Spirits: The Making of a Businessman, a memoir brimming with self-congratulatory tales of his business acumen and generosity. (When he's not patting himself on the back, he has no trouble finding people to do it for him. Thanks to his relentless and ongoing pursuit of Nazi-loving Swiss bankers, admirers have dubbed him, only half-jokingly, the "King of the Jews.")
