On CAPS, 98% of the 439 members who have rated China North East Petroleum believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include All-Star LondonMatt, who is ranked in the top 18% of our community, and saveslave.

Last month, LondonMatt tapped the company as a slick way to play China: "Low cost of production and remarkable track record at finding producing wells (100% success rate) and strong cash flow, with a long-term 20-year contract with [PetroChina] to purchase the output."

In a pitch from two weeks later, saveslave expands on the stock's multibagger potential:

Growth in China is looking very promising. Company has a beautiful balance sheet, and has made some very significant deals of late, which should put them in prime position as China keeps increasing their oil demand. Stock has pulled back nicely in that last week to provide multiple entry points.
