JADE ART GROUP INC (JADA.OB)

I blogged JADA  a few months back and hit the nail on the head with my call.  The chart looked to me to be setting itself up for a move and I was right.  The stock delivered almost a 50% gain over a week’s time.

I was very pleased with myself and with JADE ART GROUP INC (JADA.OB).  I think the time is right to take another look at JADA.

Jade Art Group Inc. is a seller and distributor in China of raw jade, which has uses ranging from decorative construction material for both the commercial and residential markets to high-end jewelry.

The stock itself is currently trading at around $0.36 and its prices have swung from a 52-wk. low of $0.15 to a high of $1.09.  The stock itself is not having a good 2010 being down 45% for the year and 67% from its April 5th high of $1.09.

I am not seeing a near-term pop with JADA due to any technical analysis.  In fact, the momentum (and volume) has plateaued.  But, that does not mean that JADA is not a good trade.

The chart is showing that JADA is trading near the 2010 base of around 35 cents.  This is the base that the stock used in its April move and could with its next move.

I am willing to wait around to let JADA be rediscovered.  The company is in strong financial condition with a strong balance sheet and profitable operations.  In fact, as of March 31, 2010, Jade Art Group had cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million, up from $147,392 as of December 31, 2009. Current assets and current liabilities as of March 31, 2010, were $11.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, yielding working capital of $8.5 million.

JADA has made it known they are looking to diversify (vertically within the Jade business and beyond) and with strong financials and strong balance sheet, they could easily snap up another company.  All it is going to take for JADA to fly again is the next earning release, news of an acquisition, traders rediscovering it, etc….

The risks are small, but it is good to be aware of them.  JADA has only one source for its Jade (albeit on a 50-yr. exclusive contract) and a limited number of customers (under 10).  Any political upheavals, market glut, government intervention (it is China after all) could negatively impact the stock….I don’t see that happening however.

I think I will be right on JADA again!

Here is what I am looking at for entry/exit points

Last Close:              $0.38

Buy Opinion:          $0.33 – 0.45

Short Term Sell:   $0.65

Long Term Sell:     $1.00+

Good Luck and Great Trading,

Jeffrey Dean
