    You have been pumping CPSL for months now.. While CPSL has provided no guidance and no information. In fact they have missed their scheduled earnings release date of Sept 14th and provided no reason nor any revised date.

    What information do you have to pump this stock. Just because China is booming. This stock has provided no indication that they have sold any new contracts and are in fact profitable.
