On CAPS, 99% of the 289 members who have rated China Information believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Aceuphisleev and foolishfoolhead1.

Just last week, Aceuphisleev wrote that China Information is a "wonderfully boring company that has strong backing from the Chinese government." Our CAPS member continues: "It also appears to have little competition. No long-term debt and an attractive price don't hurt either."

In a pitch from last month, foolishfoolhead1 helped Fools feel even more secure:

[China Information] has great long term potential. It is in a dominant position as leading technology innovator in important niches (security, medical records, coordinating police and fire actions, even mapping). The Chinese gov loves this stock and I see increased demand for [China Information's] services. Also it has a great balance sheet and return on investment.
