Questions on Teamway (1239) and a bit of soccer
Webb-site.com, 22-Oct-2017
An HKEX decision last week led us to discover an inflated acquisition that looks like a cash extraction exercise, possibly to cover an earlier outlay of "earnest money". A sudden surge in profits of the acquired consultancy coincides with a Chinese takeover of troubled soccer team A.C. Milan, or Rossonori, which prints more red ink than black, and a deeply-subordinated loan to its Chairman.

They were supposed to be checking for unauthorised canines at public housing estates. Perhaps they went to see a man about a dog.

Rather, it is for the Government to show that a restriction on free speech is justified in the circumstances on the grounds of constitutional necessity.

CEEI is in what we call the "Enigma Network". When the investment in Luen Wong (8217) was announced, Webb-site called it a bubble stock trading on a P/B of 321 and a P/E of 861. CEEI said the deal was "fair and reasonable", "a good investment opportunity" and "an attractive investment which will provide satisfactory return". It subsequently crashed, of course. We pointed out the breach of the Listing Rules, for which the company and its directors have now been criticised by the Listing Committee. There was no criticism of the bullish statements made by the CEEI board about Luen Wong.

QT v Director of Immigration
HK Court of Appeal, 25-Sep-2017
In a landmark decision, the Court unanimously grants the appeal by a person in a same-sex British civil partnership, ruling that the policy indirectly discriminates against gay couples in a civil partnership or marriage recognised overseas, because it grants a benefit (a dependent visa) only to spouses as defined by HK law, of the opposite sex, for which they cannot qualify. There is no rational connection between the legitimate aim of immigration control and the means adopted. Our take: this very thorough and well-reasoned ruling will impact other policies which adopt heterosexual marriage as a criterion for benefits. The Government may try to go to the Court of Final Appeal, but they are unlikely to succeed in overturning this.

One Board, One Regulator
We respond to HKEX's 2nd attempt to introduce 2nd-class shares via a "New Board", rather than cleaning up its existing boards and transferring listing regulation to the statutory regulator which oversees takeovers, the SFC. Coupled with recent moves to embed the Communist Party in the constitutions of state-controlled enterprises, HK and China risk a toxic combination of no votes for government and no votes for capital, leading to an emerging tycoon-Communist Party oligarchy. We propose a better approach. (7-Aug-2017)
