Over on CAPS, 390 of the 401 members who have rated China Green -- some 97% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include CAPSnGAIN and All-Star hazelnut283, who is ranked in the top 4% of our community.

Just three days ago, CAPSnGAIN tapped China Green as great way to get some organic growth on the cheap:

If analysts are correct in predicting high double-digit EPS growth over the next 5 years, coupled with this company's demonstrated ability to maintain EPS growth even through a recession, then this company's stock might have tremendous upside from today's price.

In an earlier pitch, hazelnut283 also helped fertilize the bull case:

While "organic" might be one of those "hot" fad words in the U.S., in China, with all the news of its sub-par food standards, it's a word that represents quality, and a way to earn back consumer confidence. [China Green] sells millions of Chinese farmers organic fertilizer, helping not only the rural poor of that country have a better quality of life, but also helping pave the way for healthier, quality food all across China and beyond. I have great confidence this company will last, long after the "green" trend ends.

    Brian:

    If CAPs is so important and SO many want to hear what you have to say, WHY do you continue to avoid playing YOUR "poised to" stocks therein?
