Thursday May 8, 3:26 am ET

LOS ANGELES, May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HRCT, Frankfurt: 900009), www.hartcourt.com , today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to purchase 45 percent of Shanghai GuoWei Science and Technology Ltd., www.guowei.com.cn , a major PC retailer and distributor based in Shanghai, China. Furthermore, Hartcourt has obtained a voting proxy for an additional 10 percent of outstanding shares of GuoWei to effectively control the Board of Directors.

The purchase price for the 45 percent acquisition is RMB35.85 Million (US$4.35Mil) payable in 10,863,792 restricted common shares of Hartcourt at US$0.40 per share.

In 2002, GuoWei recorded sale revenue of RMB310 Million (US$37.6 Million). It was one of the top PC retailers in Shanghai, specializing in DIY (do-it- yourself) PC assembly and online PC sales.

GuoWei, founded in 1996, owns and operates 13 stores in Shanghai area and surrounding areas, completed with service centers and warehouse distribution. The stores provide customers with latest computer hardware, software, technical services and other digital products. It is also the leading online PC retailer in Shanghai for computer products at www.12diy.com .

GuoWei's business model is very similar to that of HuaQing and NewHuaSun, two other Hartcourt subsidiaries. Recently acquired by Hartcourt, HuaQing and NewHuaSun recorded a combined US$120 Million in sales and US$2.2 Million in net profit in 2002. Adding GuoWei, the three subsidiaries should give Hartcourt over US$165 Million in sales for the next 12 months. In Q1 of 2003, GuoWei recorded RMB99.5Mil (US$12Mil) in revenue.

China has experienced explosive growth in PC sales for the last 10 years from 670,000 PC sold in 1994 to 7,260,000 in 2001. IDC predicts China's PC sales will grow at 18-22% for the next 5 year, with sales reaching 19,800,000 PC in 2006 (global PC sales is 131,800,000 in 2002 vs. China's 9,280,000). Experts believe the huge market potential will come from the low PC penetration in home uses (5% in China compared to 49% in the US), as well as demand from technology upgrades and adoption of information technology by SMEs (small medium enterprises) and government sectors.

More details on GuoWei and the PC market in China could be obtained from Hartcourt Website, www.hartcourt.com or GuoWei website, www.guowei.com.cn .

Mr. Zhou Jian, Chairman and President of GuoWei, comments, "We are pleased to join HuaQing and NewHuaSun to create a major PC marketing group in China under Hartcourt's leadership. Undoubtedly, there are more companies out there anxious to join us. Our combined purchasing power and marketing budget will improve our profit margin. The acquisition strategy of Hartcourt will enable us to expand more aggressively. Bringing China's future growth into the present is Hartcourt's mission. We only just begin."

Trader  

ein Einstieg in solche Werte ist immer ein Risiko, aber ich denke ein Einstieg lohnt sich noch bis jetzt, denke die geht in Richtung 1 EUR sobald sie in 0,50 EUR geknackt hat.  

Wenigstens mal ne Antwort
 

und, grübelst Du drüber nach einzusteigen?  

Denke ernsthaft drüber nach! Was denkstr Du? Lohnt es sich noch?  

wenn ich Kleingeld übrig hätte, würde ich bis 0,44 rein gehen. Ich hatte vor einem Jahr für 0,12 zugeschlagen, hab ich immernoch...  

Ist aber schon ganz schön Jauche! Nen echter Zock oder?  

...ein Zock würde ich nicht sagen, wenn die Kurssteigerung ausschließen durch Zockerei zurückzuführen wäre, dann wäre der Kurs schon längst wieder nach unten geschnallt. Schau doch mal zurück, seit einem Monat steigt der Kurs mit kleinen Schwankungen. Die Meldungen aus den USA zu hartcourt sind auch nicht schlecht. Ließ mal in den anderen threads die Info´s zur hartcourt (neue Aufträge etc..)  

 

 

heute wird die 0,50 EUR geknackt!  

 

hab ich doch gesagt, dass die 50 Cent geknackt werden...  

Die sind jetzt schon wieder recht hoch!! Ich freu mich tierisch, dass wir nun schon über 0,51 Eur stehen!

Hartmoneygrüsse  

in Frankfurt bei 0,53 EUR! Das ist seit über 5 Wochen nur ein einziger Aufstieg.
Was meinst Du denn wie weit hartcourt noch geht, ob sie wohl bis 1 EUR durchhält ?!?  

Da darf ich dir gratulieren. Enorm guten Riecher gehabt.

Gruß manfred1  

In einem positiven Marktumfeld sind sogar Kurse weit über 1 Euro möglich. Das Geschäftsmodell trägt so langsam Früchte. Für viele Anleger war Hartcourt nicht richtig durchschaubar, aber Dr Phan verfügt über hervorragende Kenntnisse eines Einheimischen und hat mit seiner Strategie seit ein paar Wochen wieder vorzeigbare Erfolge. Wer an die Wachstumsstory von China/Asien glaubt, sollte einsteigen. (ist aber sehr spekulativ)
hartmoneygrüsse


P.s. wir haben ja auch schon Kurse von 17-20 US Dollar gesehen!

Ausser meinen Altbeständen (mit sensationellen Verlusten)
habe ich mich nicht wieder dran gewagt.

Mittlerweile frage mich ob ich da was verpasse.
Verdammte Gier
   

langsam wird es wirklich unheimlich, 0,63 last trade, die geht wirklich Richtung 1 EUR.
wann war die Aktie denn auf 17 Dollar? Wenn ich die 5-Jahr-Historie anschaue, dann sehe ich max. 3,50 EUR...

Grüße vom Börsenfan  

Die Aktie war mal vor gut 3 Jahren auf $18, aber zwieschendrin gabs nen Aktiensplit. Ich erinner mich aber nicht mehr an das splitverhältnis...  

Der Splitt war 1:2 und damit war nach aktuellem splittberücksichtigtem Kurs von 9,60 Euro umgerechnet auf 19,20 Euro!Dazu gab es noch Elephant Talk Gratisaktien, aber bisher leider noch keine Quartalsdividende ;-)) Bin auf diesen Wert absolut spekulativ bulish....das kann wieder die grosse Nummer werden....hatte ja mal 5000% in einem Monatgemacht, die Story stimmt, die Liquidität auch!

Bleibt dran!

Behaltet die auch mal im Auge!  

die Elephant Talk Aktie ist für mich ein Buch mit 7 Siegeln. Die Aktie hat doch jeder bekommen, der Hartcourt-Aktien hat, aber die Elephant Talk Aktien haben in meinem Depot immernoch den Wert Null. Wann hat die 500% gemacht, ich dachte die Aktien werden noch gar nicht gehandelt? Ich kann nirgends was finden über die Aktie, weder einen Kurs noch einen Chart....  

Versuch es beispielsweise mal  mit diesem Link:
