IIB which is in a similar sharia finance area but pure banking shot up today. I'd looked at it but preferred CCH as it is profitable already, let's hope when the results or some updates come out CCH will shoot up as well!! I feel it just hasn't been noticed at the moment except by a few early birds. affc 21 what is your opinion on EIIB? I haven't bought but I'm tempted as they are already profitable and only floated in May.

moneyplus - first I have heard of European Islamic Investment Bank Plc (EIIB), but will take a look.

I don't know if you invest in Chinese stocks, but one that may be of interest is Geong International (GNG), an AIM listed, Beijing based, provider of content management software and solutions.
Follow the link below for more info if interested (rivaldo's find and the thread originator):

P.S. I'm also invested in GNG so may be biased, so as always DYOR and what ever your decision, good luck with your investments.

I am very enthusiastic about chinese stocks with careful research as some can be very risky. I am in EPY, RCG, SFT { profitable but unloved by the market-it will come good eventually} IMO... I took profits on CHNS and a small profit on EBT as both are slow to get going---put all my spare cash into SOLA for long term as I think it's a brilliant company! As you can see I'm well into China. Will look at GNG for later.

GNG looks a good one-will watch for the results on the 28th Nov. nice find affc21.

Have sent email to CCH, asking for a copy of the Brokers note (Insinger de Beaufort), if it has been finalized.

Last time I asked (a month back), the note had not been finalized.

Will post here when I get a reply.

thanks affc. I picked up a few EIIB today a they are in the same area of business-not many as I didn't have much to spare but hope to keep adding if they stay quiet for a while.

Happy with my current selection of stocks at the moment, Moneyplus.
Was wandering if you managed to buy EIIB early on monday morning when the offer was dropped to 10.5p for a short duration.
EIIB are on my watch list (not had the time to have an in depth look as yet).

not that lucky I'm afraid! I will add if they drop though.

CCH managed growth of pre tax profit from 2H 2005 PTP 646,494 to 1H 2006 PTP 1.6m, which works out at an impressive 147% growth over 6 months (that's some growth over 6 month).

Have used PTP (Pre Tax Profit), as it more realistically shows the growth in business activity, since in their last results they paid tax compared to their previous results where no tax was paid. ie growth not distorted by tax.

So if they only achieve growth of 50% in the 2H 2006 from a relatively fixed cost base, they will earn 2.7p per share after Tax for this year (CCH financial year end is 31 December). CCH earned 1.09p in the 1H 2006 (after Tax).

With the share price at 16.5p (mid), then if they were to achieve EPS of 2.7p (after Tax), that would put CCH on a PER of x6.1 for this year (financial year end is 31 December).

If CCH were to stand still (ie no growth) for the rest of this year(2H) they will make EPS of 2.18p which would put them on a respectable PER of x7.5 (at 16.5p mid. share price), for this year 2006.

Plus cash in bank.

However when you take into account the cash in the bank of at least 2.5m at year end (6.7m at present), then the equivalent PER of x5 is surely to low.

Nice rise so far today, I would imagine some large trades to show later.

Hope Moneyplus and Philjeans are still in.

Still holding and looking forward to a good year with this one! thanks for the research.

Good stuff-now really looking forward to next year!!

Moneyplus - your welcome. Who knows where this share will be at the end of 2007, I would have thought much higher than where it stands at present.
Confidently looking forwards towards the results, which again should give the share price a boost.

Very good start to the day, must be some buying in the background to be shown later on the trades page.

Do you get the feeling that their may not be many shares in the hands of the MM's, considering the appreciation in the share price on Friday through the purchase of a mere 27,500 shares.

another good start today.

Been in since 14p so very happy, seems to be two threads here regarding COH... I will be visiting the Cech stores in Feb so will let you know what I think about our investment.

Adie this is CCH-nothing to do with coffee! still well worth you looking into it.

thanks guys you have convinced me on this one! Are they any closer to releasing more shares. I think it will hold back a little until they do, noticed there is very little instituional interest at the moment. So good to be in before they release them BUT can we be confident they will let some shares go. I will try to get some of these through 'the share centre' when the market opens and let you know how easy/difficult it was.

CEO holds about 85% but has stated in past announcements [interims and AGM] that they intend to release part of his holding very soon to increase liquidity and this should give the sp a boost. I'm hoping this will come with or just before the final results. Covered recently by lemming investor and mentioned in the mail yesterday- interest is rising but as you say there are not yet enough shares in circulation for any institutions to get onboard. at least the board are aware of this.

A 19% spread at the moment, thats BIG!!!! needs to come down before i get in, or do you think 19% will be insignificant in years to come??
