Robert Hsu and VISN

Another May/June 2008 ridiculous advice from Mr. Robert Hsu arrived in his $3.000/year paying subscribers of Asia Pacific Edge on May 14th 2008.

Here it is:

New Buy: VisionChina Media Inc.

[REMOVED]

Strong Financials
(as usual)

[REMOVED]
. I want you to buy VISN under $23. I'm targeting $30 by early August, which would give us a nice 30% short-term gain.

You already know that when you read Mr. Hsu "I'm targeting" something will happen.
On May 14th VISN closed at $19.88. Chart please:


From January to May 2008 VISN tripled from $6 to $18 before Mr. Hsu decided to take his position (and his subscribers'). The trend was over, so here is what Mr. Hsu wrote his $3.000/year paying readers in the following weeks:

May 21st 2008: Buy under $23

May 28th 2008: Buy under $23

June 4th: not a single word

June 11th

[REMOVED]. Because of this, I recommend that you sell your shares of VISN.

Price was $15.91.

Loss was 20%.

This time even Nature (earthquake) was against Mr. Hsu. The Sichuan earthquake dropped his VISN price. That's jinx...


Interesting to notice is that buying at $16 (when Mr. Hsu was selling) and selling 6 weeks after at $24 would have generated a 50% gain. Be Hsu-contrarian!!!
