From: The Serious Speculator
Twenty five years ago, I can remember discussing the markets with a very astute and successful investor. He possessed a wisdom that only comes from years of experience. I was telling him about a speculative company that I thought was the hottest thing ever and how everyone was getting involved and were going to be rich.
He listened patiently while I went through my pitch then calmly asked me, “During the gold rush, thousands flocked to the gold fields to strike it rich but, aside from a very few miners who got lucky, do you know who made a fortune yet avoided the limelight?” I thought about it and came up blank so he smiled and told me, “It was the guy that was selling picks and shovels.”
Using that analogy, Chang-On International (OTCBB: CAON) is the proverbial pick and shovel company in the midst of the construction gold rush in China. Construction is booming in China big time. US government statistics reveal that “Construction spending in China increased 165% in the last four years, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, and is still expanding at 25% annually.” Source: BuyUSA.gov. At the same time, the Chinese government is putting an emphasis on the greening of the construction industry, both in the quality of construction and construction methods.
A key component in construction projects are the tools used to manufacture components from pipes to concrete walls and water tanks. Most of these components share one thing in common. They all need a mold or “formwork” to be made. In China traditionally these molds have been made out of bamboo or some other wood or steel. The problem with these materials are that steel is too expensive and needed elsewhere and wood molds don’t last very long. Enter Chang-On International.
Chang-On International has developed its own proprietary technology which allows them to build these molds out of a special resin composed primarily out of recycled plastic and fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal. The result of this amazing development is a mold that is less expensive than its counterparts, lasts longer than wood, is lighter than steel and seals better making for a higher quality finished product. What’s more, being made entirely out of recycled materials, Chang-On’s products satisfy the Chinese Government’s mandate for green construction.
Led by an experienced management team headed by Guomin Li, 47, a pioneer in the field of manufacturing building materials from waste products, Mr Li has been the Chairman of Harbin Hongbo Environment Protection Material Ltd since 2004, now the operating subsidiary of Chang-On International. Over the last 4 years, Mr. Li and his staff of researchers have developed and perfected the proprietary technology that is the basis of their newly implemented marketing strategy.

If the mattress that you sleep on does not have the proper support, you may be experiencing a lot of lower back pain.

There is not a single mattress out there that will be in spring mattress that would alleviate all’s lower back pain. A lot of Mattresses out there can be a great fit for the majority of the people, but ultimately it comes down to personal preference.

When a bride-to-be sets out to begin to assemble a gift registry for her most special of days, one of the most difficult decisions she faces becomes the china pattern and where it will be purchased. After all, this will be the memento from her wedding that will likely last a lifetime and will continue to be a reminder of that wonderful wedding day long after the only wedding gifts have out lived their usefulness. 
However, due to no formal dining room, many times when it comes to where this fine set of dinnerware will be put on display, these cherished items are either boxed up and placed in the attic or stored in some remote corner of the lower kitchen cabinets. Since most kitchens lack the space necessary to place a china cabinet against an unused wall, some other means of display must be achieved. Luckily, there is an almost ideal solution for this dilemma, a corner china cabinet.
Most every room, even a small eat-in kitchen will usually have a corner that for all practical purposes is just wasted space. If this is the case in your home and you are looking for a place to display fine china, or some other cherished possession for that matter, a corner china cabinet will provide an excellent place to not only display your china but will also protect it. Many pieces of china are broken while attempting to remove a stack of dinnerware from the bottom of a cabinet.
