I have been a subscriber for 2+ yrs on a multi yr subscription. Most likely will not renew. You need to evaluate your own goals with this and just about all other newsletters. If you want these letter writers to give you perfect buy & sell decisions – forget it. His picks are ok in UP markets but he lags badly in down markets. Most of these writers base their decisions on fundamentals. Almost none (exceptions Cabot newsletters like CEMR) use technical analysis. In a down mkt, unless you have an enforced stop loss system, you’ll get killed. I’ve given up on these letters. I’m and active trader, using technical analysis and I find I do much better with TA directed trades from fundamental stocks screens from IBD like their custom screen wizard and e-Tables lists, which BTW have a lot of lesser known Chinese stocks on them now. But I’ve invested heavily in tuition payments at the “college of learning trading” to get to this position in investing. If you are going to follow ANY of these newsletters, learn some basic charting and how to do stop loss setups. Don’t worry about “missing” a rally. Worry more about getting killed in a down market!

It’s funny that you mention that he is recommending XIN as in his China Strategy portfolio it has a “hold” status, it is not one of the three stocks he is recommending to buy during the month of October..I have a subscription with China Strategy until the end of the year but I currently dont own any of his stocks…I stopped buying his recommendations because I never knew when to sell, its more a buy and hold long term strategy…

Sept 29/2009

This ‘teaser’ is Robert Hsu’s latest, for his kind of pricey “Asia Edge” although this
character seems to put some real effort into what he does!

I have subscribed to “China Strategy for about 2 years with some success like ACH, CMED, CEO, LFC & MR Yes! There were also some losses. Although, with Alex Green’s trailing stop philosophy (Oxford Club) in 2007- 2008 I managed to save my butt.

Robert Hsu. didn’t exactly advise his readers on how to get out when the getting was good, and to be honest Green had most of the China winners when they were hot in any case.

Anyway! I like Robert Hsu’s his no BS style suits me fine. He seems to write his
stuff from the ground up. Personally I think the man knows China and the Chinese from
the inside out. I get the impression that he is smart enough and Chinese enough to
take them on at their own game and to come away with the goodies.

That’s why I have subscribed to China Strategy for another year. Now! If I could only
justify the cost of Asia Edge.

I would be interested in your comments on the the notes (teaser)
following. Thanks, Robert H Robson

Beijing, China
September 28, 2009

Fellow Investor,

I’m writing you directly from Beijing, China, where I just got out of a meeting at the Ministry of Transportation and I simply can’t stop shaking.

Not because they tried to brainwash me, my friend; those days are long gone.

I’m shaking like a leaf because of the virtual MONOPOLY the Chinese government is giving one company in the transportation sector and the GREAT PROFITS that are at hand.

To be sure, the ministry officials didn’t come out and say this.

They can’t.

But trust me when I tell you this: There were so many “winks and nods” going around the table that the message they were sending me was crystal clear:

The 87% gains we’ve made to date in this government-blessed transportation technology company we have been touring are just a sneak preview of the profits that are headed our way.

Once you see my full write-up on this, I guarantee you’ll agree the next wave of profits is going to knock your socks off.

If you can grab this one now, before it declares second-quarter earnings on November 11, you could easily grab a double in the next 90 days.

My full write-up explains why and will go as a free bonus to all Asia Edge clients in good standing TONIGHT.

Don’t miss this.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Here are a few exciting details
to whet your appetite.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of the of the most locked-in profit opportunities I’ve seen in all my trips to China over the years.

As you’ll see in tonight’s issue, only one—I repeat, only ONE—analyst is covering this company and its virtual monopoly on a monster growth opportunity.

That’s a huge claim, I know.

But not when you understand that the Chinese transportation market is one of the most overlooked—and profitable—opportunities in China.

You need only travel to China on our next investment tour to understand why.

There you’ll see with your own eyes, like we have, not only how jammed the downtown areas are with millions of bicyclists but also how jammed the freeways are with millions of shiny brand new cars!

Since I’m from Los Angeles, you can trust me when I tell you this: The traffic jams we’ve seen in China make an L.A. rush-hour traffic jam look like five cars stuck behind a truck on a two-lane rural road.

And it’s only going to get worse before it gets better, as China is on track to sell another 11 million vehicles this year. That’s a 17% increase from 2008 and a stunning 20-fold increase from a decade earlier.

This is why the Ministry of Transportation is committed to creating the most efficient transportation system in the world.

They really have no choice:

You see, in order for China to truly take its mantle as the world’s greatest economic power, it must upgrade its patchwork of roads to U.S. standards, becuase getting its products out to the world faster and more economically is one of the country’s master keys to its long-term success.

This is why the government has committed nearly $100 million to developing an intelligent, technology-driven transportation system, using the high-tech solutions in which our top recommendation in this sector has a virtual monopoly.

That is why my palms itch in anticipation of the profits headed our way, now that I’ve seen firsthand how the Chinese government will be funneling millions into this company’s high-tech traffic monitoring solutions to reduce backups and increase traffic flow.

This is why I’m expecting another breakout in sales and earnings come November 16 and why the windfall I foresee could not only dwarf the 87% gains we made since July 8 in this virtual monopoly …

…but also top the year-to-date performance of our winning recommendations China Green Agriculture (+291%) and China Marine Group (+226%) —AND come to you twice as fast.

You’ll find the full details in my write-up, as well as why this may truly be my most profitable trip to China ever.

So PLEASE make sure you read it tonight!

Go here now.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Your update will also bring you the results
of my two-week investment tour, plus
my complete boots-on-the-ground look at:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

» How China’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gases will continue to place powerful upward pressure under this top environmental holding that’s up 459% year to date.
» Why China’s education sector is growing faster than the economy as a whole, and why this top stock in this sector is on track to repeat its 71% gains since April.
» You’ll also read why the demand for oil is rising and how this top oil company’s 45% profits to date are simply a sneak preview of even greater profits headed our way.
» Why China’s pharmaceutical industry stands to gain from China’s massive new heath care initiative that expands medical coverage to hundreds of millions more Chinese. Already our top pick here is up 32% on increased spending in the past seven weeks alone.
As you’ll see in my write-up, even bigger gains are headed its way as expanded medical coverage results in exponential earnings and revenue growth.

And that’s just the half of it.

My investment tour write-up will also bring you:

» An inside look China’s massive new travel boom and why China’s leading travel agency is on track to surpass its 375% year-to-date gains.
» My complete commodities forecast. Plus why our top-rated ETF is profiting from both the falling dollar and rising corn prices and why I’m targeting a double here in short order.
» Why China is facing a serious clean water shortage, and why our top company will reap the lion’s share of the profits.
» PLUS how you can profit from China’s new agriculture boom. I’ll take you on a countryside tour of the farming sector and explain why farmers must double and triple crop output in order to continue to feed 1 billion mouths daily … and I’ll explain why our top fertilizer company is already up 24% in the past two weeks and why I’m expecting similar gains next year.
Reserve your copy now.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
This private write-up won’t
be for sale at any price.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It is an exclusive for MY READERS ONLY, to give them, and now you, an advance look at the fast-moving Asian small-cap stocks we are investing in before they become front-page news.

This is how we’ve become Asia’s top small-cap advisory, why the stocks we like are up an average of 225% year to date, and how we plan to keep our readers’ wealth growing in the weeks and months ahead.

If this sounds like the kind of investing advantage you’re looking for, you owe it to yourself to read tonight’s issue—before it becomes public information.

Read it tonight.

It’s free as part of a one-day special offer, but you must act now.

Sincerely,

Robert Hsu
Editor, Asia Edge

P.S. If you have received my boots-on-the-ground China investment tour reports before, then you know firsthand how these stocks can jump 25% to 35% in days.

With my current holdings up an average of 212% year to date, our top recommendation up 425%, and this trip proving to be my most profitable in five years, this is one write-up you won’t want to miss.

I subscript for two seasons. Robert’s work was solid. I did make money with EJ along time ago and had to hold it a second time to break even. Robert called POT early and a made a killing with that. So I’ll look at ZIN and I’ll always give Hsu calls consideration. VH

have taken his ltr for a few yrs now, w mixed results. Overall have made $ on his recs. Howeever, just like all investments, you need to monitor prices and decide whenhyou want out. I bought EHouse on 1st rec, sold some at profit, but lost on the rest-still have some, that’s about even. He may tend to stay w a pick a bit too long in light of price action, but understandable given the nature of that market.

I really like the way Mr. Hsu investigates his picks with on the ground investigation. I have made several two baggers with him this year so life is good. I am dropping his China Strategy service in favor of Asian Strategy service as I got tired of all the teasers coming in my email that I did not get the benefit of…besides there’s some sleepers in Asia from some of the recently developing countries that I don’t want to miss. He’ll do a good job digging them out as always.

I have subscribed to Mr. Hsu pubs for about 4 years; did very well early on with Asia Strategy, but dropped it (too expensive for me). As your other reviewers say, he thoroughly reviews companies on the ground in Asia; meeting with corporate officers of the companies he is interested in.
He’s good getting in’ but has in the past held on too long.
Cabot China & Emerging Markets is better at calling the downturns. I now use both Cabot and China Strategies for balance.

Hsu is the best newsletter I have used for investment ideas. you can NOT BE A MORON in today’s market and just buy and sell based on ANY publisher. You have to do your OWN RESEARCH once you enter a position when to get out.If you don’t know how at least learn how to use trailing stops!!!! Hsu is on the money. His new picks (CTFO-buy below $10, NPD-buy below $7.5, RINO buy below $25, DYP buy below $10) will all go up if you hold them I guaranteee it!!! Just remember the buy in price. For example, if you buy npd@$7.5 and it goes up to $9, put a stop loss @$7.75 to prevent a loss and ride the wave up. You people all need to do MUCH MORE RESEARCH on companies than just listen to a newsletter publisher. I like HSU because for a measly $200 you can get his service which is full of GREAT IDEAS. Then use your OWN BRAIN to establish buy/sell signals. DYP is going to blast off soon at least 25% from current levels. GOOD LUCK!

Subscribed in November 2009.His commentaries about the country are max upbeat. Some winners and some losers in his portfolio. He uses the China Strategy, a lower cost newsletter, as a hook to get subscription to the Asia Strategy in my opinion. I will try him for another month and then cancel.

I tried a one year subcsription starting about 4 months ago and cancelled after 3 months. In that time, he recommended 2 new stocks in the Asia Strategy portfolio. CRIC and KONG were trading in the 13-$14 range then. Today they trade at $8+….No sell signal – only a HOLD placed on CRIC when it dropped a dollar or two. ‘nough said.

I was on and off again subscriber to his newseletter. I made money in the rise and got hurt in the fall. I watched his newsletters, and it felt like he was ignorant to losses. He is always happy hyping the next big company. The problem is when the market is rallying he is a genious. When it’s falling he doesn’t know what to do. He sells late or decided to hold his losses. Sometimes he re-recommends a stock, so he says by apple at 80, then says go ahead buy more at 120 and then 160 saying how great they will be. The stock starts to fall, and he eventually says, we got out with some profits at 150. He then states his referral price was 80, never mentioning that he told new subscribers to get in at higher prices. He sells newsletters as a side business, while he runs his China Hedge Fund that he recently opened. Yes apple has recovered, but he does this with most of his picks, using the lowest recommendation price to boost his returns. Sure in a bull market he does well, but he is slaughtered like a pig in a correction.

I have taken China Profit Strategy for about 18 months. He gives you a weekly and monthly update, and you receive an email when they are ready to review. He does have emergency dispatches, but rarely sends one. He really knows China well, and his newsletter is a good if you have interest in investing in China Stocks. The downside is that he doesn’t give stop recommendations, only sell orders to take profits or losses. Unfortunately most of them are losses now. He had me ride 2 stocks down around 50% recently. I finally sold because I wanted to invest in other stocks. It was fortunate that I placed my own stop half of one stock for about a 20% gain. Currently I am reading it, but not investing in China due to government meddling concerns.
I recommend the $99 once a year deal when you can get it, and careful placement of stops. When China roars back, he can take you to some profits.

Readers may be interested to know that the April pick for Gue’s “Stocks on the Run” has chosen VIT. This is a newsletter where Gue and his colleague vie for braging rights to see who can come up with the month’s most successful runaway stock. So maybe this gives some legitimacy to Hsu’s pick.

I have been a subscriber for 3 years. Naturally he’s done well when China was hot and poorly when it’s not. When you receive his new buy ratings, you can count on paying anywhere from 5 to 10% higher as the stocks all seemingly jump up before you have a chance to get it. My recommendation is to wait about 2 weeks and let the dust settle before buying in and only after you take the time to research the Company and see if you agree with his assessment. He doesn’t seem to be able to tell you to get out when he makes a error in judgement until the stock has pretty well tanked. In any case it is interesting reading and you could do worse for the $199 a year it cost.

I tried out Hsu’s newsletter too. And I agree with the others. When the chinese stock market soared of course his stocks went up, but that was only because the market went up. And when the chinese market crashed, Hsu’s picks usually fell more than the market. Then I researched him (too late!) and saw that a few years ago he really made some terrible calls for a long time.

I’ve lost a lot of money over the years with these investment newsletter guys. I’ve tried them all an they are all the same, with their misleading ads of “300% gains in a week” but they dont tell you they had 7 losers that lost everything for every winner, etc. Weiss, Schaefer, Prechter, they are all the same.

After myexperience with Hsu and a couple of others, I finally realized the only way to do well is find a real expert with a proven record and use him for guidance so you can improve your skills.

There’s only one guy who knows what’s going on but most of you probably wont like him because you actually have to put effort into investing and the reports are huge and take a long time to get through. The guy is Mike Stathis and he is a real expert. Check his record and you’ll see he predicted everything in the economy and stock market in print in 2006. http://www.avaresearch.com

I get his newsletter and he has been almost perfect predicting the market movement since I have had it. He covers currency forecasting, US market, China and Brazil, economics, and gives you som e securities but he wont recoemmend anything unless he thinks the stock market will head north.

As I said, I doubt any of you would have an interest because his newsletter is realy long and not only goes out to individuals but also financial institutions so its not babid up.

Anyway, have a look at his website. He writes a lot of great stuff on the market, economy, healthcare, politics, the media and so on. Really eye-opening stuff. http://www.avaresearch.com

I subscribed for a year and found that Robert Hsu recommends stocks that you read about in other places. None of his recommendations were out of the ordinary and earned average returns. Many of his newsletters were comments on the China economy or musings about a recent trip to China. Entertaining but not very profitable.

Hi Travis and all
I visited China in 2007 and then subscribed out of academic interest. Report on my China tour is on my web site. I read quite a few books on Chinese history and contempory society I think Mr Hsu has excellent information on China – his general essays are right on. I subscribed in 08-09. I only bought a couple of his recommendations – a few went up and several went down – very small positions. China Mobile and CNOOC were good – I still have CNOOC. He says himself that he is a ‘momentum’ investor and I take that to mean trader – but he rarely says ‘sell’. I no longer subscribe because I am not currently doing more stocks – only ETF – of which I have several for China and India and several general Emerging markets. I think Tony Sagami at Weiss is just as knowledgable as Hsu but maybe without as much direct personal contact with CEO’s.
