It's good to get the last word in!

by J. Christoph Amberger

Being the chief editor of Taipan and the publisher of the entire Taipan Group's line of information and trading services, not a day goes by that our friendly customer service associates don't forward a dozen messages to me.

Recently, it seemed I had made a special friend. A Chinese reader of Taipan complained that our Taipan promotion was mentioning the imminent IPO of a prominent Chinese railway company on the Shanghai stock exchange. We were up to no good, he assured me -- and his lawyer: Daqin, a Chinese railway company, had already gone public last summer and there was, he claimed, no other Chinese railroad going public.

Apparently, he had not bothered to read our Taipan recommendation we made in fall. We didn't care about Daqin. We had another company in mind. He continued not to bother even after being gently nudged, then friendlily admonished to do so. He ended up canceling his subscription yelling blue murder.

I took a special pleasure in forwarding him a Bloomberg.com link last night that told the story of a little Chinese engine that could.

Guangshen Railway Co., China's second-biggest, publicly traded rail operator, raised close to the maximum $1.3 billion on the Shanghai exchange. Investors were clamoring for 44 times the amount of shares that went public... buying 2.75 billion shares at 3.76 yuan each.

(Investors had applied for 119.9 billion shares.)

Guangshen, which trades as an ADR in the United States under the symbol GSH:NYSE, plans to buy rail assets from its state-owned parent.

Chinese companies had already raised $18.2 billion this year selling shares on domestic Chinese exchanges -- an eightfold increase over  2005.

As a married man, I relish the rare opportunity of getting the last world in.
