Muddy Waters Skewers China MediaExpress Holdings (CCME), See 60%+ Downside
The firm which exposed RINO for the fraud it is has released its latest target: Chinese company CCME.
Muddy Waters LLC has initiated coverage on China MediaExpress Holdings, Inc. (CCME) with a Strong Sell rating and an estimated value of $5.28.
- Muddy Waters, LLC believes that CCME is engaging in a massive “pump
and dump” scheme whereby it significantly inflates revenue and profits
in order to enrich management through earn-outs and stock sales. - We estimate that CCME’s actual 2009 revenue was no more than $17 million (versus $95.9 million it reported).
- The data CCME provides to advertisers shows that it has fewer than half of the 27,200 buses it claims to have.
- The CTR reports that the Company uses to support its claims contain
gross errors that we conclude are due to manipulation by the management. - We estimate that over half of CCME’s network buses do not actually
play CCME content. Rather, drivers play DVD movies that are often
provided by passengers. - We caught CCME’s management telling a particularly egregious lie –
that its new website (www.switow.com) has entered into an agreement with
Apple (or one of Apple’s) distributors. Neither is true. - Similar to RINO, CCME is an obscure company in its industry. Media
buyers who would have to know it if CCME were to be believed have never
even heard the Company’s name before. - CCME’s core audience is sub-Greyhound Bus demographic.

That explains the 20% drop in a matter of minutes...but good enough for a quick in and out of $100...at least buys me a few bottles of wine before the Bernank necessitates the use of $1,000 bills.
When the directors are dishonest how can the company have any value?? They will just loot anything left.
This looks completely perfect. All these tinny details are produced with lot of background knowledge. I like it a whole lot. This was a helpful post and I feel it’s rather straightforward to see from the other comments at the same time that this post is well written and useful divorce lawyer nyc

That was a big takedown. "China MediaExpress: Groundwork, Research, And Videos to Disprove Allegations" - http://seekingalpha.com/article/250498-china-mediaexpress-groundwork-research-and-videos-to-disprove-allegations?source=marketwatch
Will one of these groups please take a look at BIDU, the worthless censored search engine in China that claims huge growth, quarter after quarter?
Baidu continued its impressive growth trajectory in the fourth quarter, almost doubling revenue year over year to CNY 2.45 billion, thanks to a 24% increase in the number of paying customers and a 56% increase in average spending per account from the year-ago quarter.
...the current market price implies forward price/earnings of 55 times, enterprise value/EBITDA of 41 times, and a free cash flow yield of 1.8%

Feels like a snapshot of the coming trade-wars...but played out on Zero-Hedge.
Sure Chinese companies Pump and Dump.
While US companies inflate and explode.
Same end result.
A 100 of these chinese fake companies will not one Enron make.

I still want to know what's up with Muddy Water's CGA call. They've shirked the shorts and have moved back up. Their execs have also refuted the MW report. Awaiting an MW response.
I have analysts double checking the MW report. It contains some false information about CCME from old, outdated websites of their clients. It really looks like the shorts that were getting squeezed paid MF off to publish this. Disclaimer: no position.
