Conversion Solutions Holdings Group (CSHD.OB)

Play Type: Speculation
Term: Long Term Investment
Market Price: $0.88

CSHD is a diversified holdings corporation, which was formed to originate, fund and source funding for asset-based transactions in the private market. CSHD's main service will be to acquire, fund and provide insurance to target companies in the currently underserved $15,000,000 to $100,000,000 asset finance market.

The symbol FHAL.OB changed to CSHD per companies PR on Aug 8, 2006. There was a "reverse" merger or as some call it "shell" merger between CVSU and FHAL, and the newly formed company Conversion Solutions Holdings Group trades under the symbol CSHD.OB.

Currently, CSHD is expected to file the 10K and release the financials. The company's CEO Mr Paul Rufus Harris has been interviewed on MN1.com. The interview was very positive for share holders and Mr Harris explained his long-term and short-term vision for the stock.

If you have done your DD, you know that the PPS of CSHD will be reset to $25.63 per the PR released on Aug 18, 2006, which will be a multiple of 2. According to the PR, the book value of the stock will be $12.81 with additional assets announced in that PR.

However, the PR about the 8-K filed had an additional bond, which may further increase the book value, depending on the terms of the agreement.

The tools needed to do DD on this stock:
* Read news articles for CSHD, FHAL and CVSU from the past
* Understand the businesses that make up this holdings company on www.cvsu.us
* Read posts on InvestorsHub.com for stock symbol CSHD
* Listen to Mr Harris's interview recordings on MN1.com

We are bullish on this stock right now. Note that this is a high-risk investment, but the higher the risk, the higher the reward - thats my belief.

As always, please do your own DD and do not use the content listed on this website to make your decisions about trading stocks. If you have any valuable input, please feel free to comment. Good luck!

AMTD Update

Cramer like AMTD per Mad Money Lightening Round on 8/10/06. I like stocks that are blessed by Cramer. Booyah!

A lot of Insider Buying going on lately in Jul and Aug per Yahoo. Insider buying is always a good thing. We're not sure if this is planned and just reported as Insider buying since its the Chairman buying, but frankly, we don't care. We like the chairman buying stocks - tell us of his confidence level in his company.

Those were the positives.

On the flip side, lower commissions at e-trade and scott trade could be hurting Ameritrade but we expect them to revise their commissions to match competitors soon, if they're losing customer fast enough. Per their latest PR regarding trading activity, client assets and number of accounts fell, but there was a rise in daily average revenue trades. Some decline in client assets could be due to the falling share prices, with political tensions in the middle east, rising gas prices, etc. People may also have taken out some investment money to pay the bills. We sure don't like the fact that AMTD is losing customers.

Despite the negatives, we still remain bullish on AMTD!!!

We will recommend buying and averaging down at these prices.

P.S.: There are also talks about eTrade bidding to buy AMTD. See Yahoo Finance Message Board.
