Kingston (1031): things you should know
Even after today's plunge, Kingston is trading at 13.2x net tangible assets of $0.508 per share, 70.8x trailing earnings, and is heavily dependent on low-cost loans from its majority shareholder. Don't bet on that continuing. We also look at the extent of its margin lending to controlling shareholders of large numbers of other listed companies. (30-Jan-2018)

SFC fines Kingston HK$500k
SFC, 5-May-2015
This story is a leftover from a vote-rigging scheme in the attempted privatisation of PCCW in 2009. The 22 clients in Macau were among 175 Kingston clients who bought 1-3 board lots of PCCW shares, withdrew them from the clearing system, registered them in their own names and then voted in favour of the privatisation to boost the headcount.

China Railway Games
In part 2 of a series, we look at how HK$16bn of market cap evaporated when bubbles around China Railway Logistics, PME and Forefront burst. Each dealt with the same purported arm of the Ministry of Railways for joint ventures in wagon-leasing, media and online ticketing, each of which failed to get started. A miriad of BVI shells with shadowy owners are involved, but at least one has exposed himself in a court case. (11-Jun-2009)

Golden Resorts and CESV
M-chip Golden Resorts (1031) is seeking shareholders' approval on 17-May-05 to sell a stake in an associate to a BVI company for HK$52m, or a P/E of 0.63. Meanwhile across the ocean, Nasdaq-traded China Energy Savings Technology (CESV) says that on 1-Feb-05 it completed the purchase of the same stake, in exchange for shares worth HK$731m, from the same BVI company. Who's telling the truth, and why is Golden Resorts selling for so little? (8-May-2005)
