Looks like great news to me, but the stock got clobbered by speculation that interest rates will be raised in China.

The tools are looking like you may want to jump off this one for the time being.

Looking at your spreadsheet I noticed that there are only 3 years worth of data. From such small data set it is impossible to determine anything at all, there is simply not enough data.

Phil would have put this one in the risky biz category. This is highly speculative and unpredictable.

To achieve a degree of predictability you will need a much larger set of data than 3 years.

Thanks for the reply.

I realized it was risky, but has huge potential.

I should have emphasized the risk so no one puts in a significant amount of their money.

Would be interesting if you could explain what you see that makes you think it has huge potential. The only bit I was able to read was that 'the numbers are explosive'. So I wanted to point out that even this is not much to go by since the data set it too small to draw any conclusions. If you have an opinion about the business then that's something far more interesting to unpick than the balance sheet.
