Master of illusion's vanishing act
March 31, 2012
It was pure gold, the best first line to a telephone conversation in years. We called Stewart Elliott this week, the Hong Kong-based chairman, managing director and chief executive of Energy World Corporation.
''What have I done?'' Stewart said.
How does a reporter respond to that? There is only one comeback.
''What do you think you've done?''
We had called Stewart to inquire as to the whereabouts of a liquefied natural gas plant. An LNG plant is not an easy thing to hide - it's no missing sock, or set of car keys.
But somehow, in a feat worthy of David Copperfield, Energy World had managed to make a LNG liquefaction facility vanish into thin air.

Saw a very interesting story re Energy World in The Age. It seems as if for all the talk about building LNG plants and raising hundreds of millions of dollars to that end..... there doesn't seem to be any plants in place.
I wonder what the auditors have to say about this ?
If I was an Energy World shareholder I would be very concerned.
The silence, as they say, is defening.
Richard Chandler tried to use his money to do the talking and the share price was propped up by some aggressive buying. He's now reached 19.369%... so he really can't buy anymore unless he launches a takeover for the rest of the company.
The chart is saying possible support around this level. The market depth is also showing some weak support at 67/67.5. More substantial support lies 60-61c.
Building a large industrial plant is quite capable of being verified. Even a simple Google view search could do that.
I believe the auditors should be liable for confirmation of what the company has been stating as part of it's financial reports. After all they have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for these operations.
If the auditors/can't won't do some effective inventory stocktake, particularly when it is brought to their notice the possibility of fraud, I think they are liable for losses.
I don't know Pixel. I just think the analysis that Michael West did on the company was very telling.
Right now of course the SP is going well so one could hopefully make a dollar on a trade. Doesn't really tell us however if this is legit or just a long con .

The report that you quoted was a year old, so I thought things might have changed.
... but judging by this morning's market direction, maybe not ...
So I stopped out quickly.
I could be wrong, of course. Time will tell.
Short and hold hedge fund style? Or short today intraday?
Here are a few reasons why you don't short this.

Short the spikes, not the lows. And remember the relationship between market rationality and your solvency...
Short and hold maybe a few days. It looks like it could break down to 35.5.
What's that last sentence mean?
Sure. Where's your stop? 3-day range could easily be 5-10c either way.
Looks like EWC is mid way between support (~40) and resistance (~46) so thE R:R is not that awesome in my books. It'd be a great trade shorting on the open today, but shorting now has very different R:R.
With the spp, bought some packets at 8c and sold asap at 12.5c today, a nice $2k easy profit.thanks ewc.i still own and many people were following my lead lol ...so big fall todayLong time no news.anyone having ideas on yesterday massive fall
bought at the open lost 20pc by the close?no announcement i could see
