Re: SMA smarttrans looks good for a punt

Hi all, I'm very new to the sharemarket but a punt I did take is on SMA
I've been doing copious amount of reading and research on investing and as far as I can tell SMA seems to tick the right boxes with it's chinese mobile billing platform growing at a good rate with a huge market to keep growing and new products to roll out and big contracts with telcos etc. They seem to have cash, aren't in profit yet but with their earnings growth it looks like they soon will be.
Just wondering if anyone else is having a look and if there are any major red flags I've missed.

Anyway I'd appreciate any comments, I'm still finding my feet and feel a bit overwhelmed with all the information I've taken on lately.
TA fundamental breakout momentum buy and hold daytrader not sure who I am yet but look forward to finding out.
Seems like every book I read I change my plan but I think the big picture is starting to form.

Thanks in advance for your feedback, I've learnt a lot already from this forum now it's time to see if I can turn my learning into profit or at least not lose it all at the start.

Welcome to the forum Sandologist, it seems like you have some information overload going on at present. Good luck with that.
I have a few dollars on this one (probably more that I am really comfortable with), but I treat it as seriously speculative. I was interested in the development but until recently have been suffering quite a loss. I am a casual investor and had been attracted to this stock and interested in its progress, the most recent news has shown more promise and hope the price growth is more than day trades ramping the stock, which is probably easy to determine but beyond me at present.
SMA appear to be growing in revenue, but I had seen this before. Good thing is this appears to have been kicking around for 5 years now (reading earlier in the thread - MoU with China Mobile), so maybe the whole process/business is steadily maturing to a viable business. Lots of shares listed is a negative.

lets see what happens in the next few days. Good Luck.

Thanks for the feedback jbocker, up again today on more good news. let's hope it keeps going.
Yes they have a lot of shares out, one thing I'm not sure I understand is a consolidation.
I get that they shrink there share numbers say 5-1 or something but what does this mean for shareholder price and is there any warning.

Cheers,

YES the news is good today. :xyxthumbs
I cannot say for certain of the practice of consolidation, but a couple I have seen, have been 10shares down to 1 and the price raised accordingly. However afterwards the price dropped further, as the shares were on a down trend and were given more latitude to fall. (WHN was the last I experienced).
There is warning in those I experienced, but not sure if it is mandatory, I would be surprised if it were done without shareholders being informed.
I would be interested in knowing how many consolidations have had a positive effect on improving/raising the share price trend. Those with small holdings may be left with very small holdings which are costly to be rid of, on a per share basis. I experienced this with a merger and consolidation leaving me with 86 shares; the history was I held 270 Zinnifex shares at $10 each. they merged to form Oz Minerals giving me 862 shares these were later consolidated leaving me 86 shares which today are approx. $4.60 each.
 
Nice update report today, has given the share price a nice 29+% increase.
The news looks good for the future, so far this year (in 4 months) they have nearly doubled their total 2014 profit. They indicate that will be moving into more Provinces in China and have new initiatives which they hope to announce shortly. Good to read 35% of Aprils revenue was from recurring subscriptions at minimal cost to the company, I hope that increases and becomes sustainable source of income.

I hold and am now back in the black.:)
 
Is anyone else following this company?

SMA is becoming more exciting. Announced today, now has launched billing for new lottery offering in a major direct carrier billing expansion, into China’s Hainan province. The growing lotteries in China is said to have been A$77billion in 2014.

The dollars are rolling in, to expectation (2.72M last quarter).
Still expanding into new provinces.
Mark Vaile (former deputy Prime Minister and former leader of the National Party) has recently appointed as non executive Chairman.

Holding.
