Softbank Investment International (Strategic) Ltd. (0648), the international investment arm of Japan's Softbank Corp., has asked trading in its shares be suspended pending an announcement regarding a possible major transaction.

The company has shifted its focus to the development of Internet applications and logistics businesses, having acquired a "sufficient" amount of Chinese dotcoms, said earlier Junichi Goto, its president.

The shares closed on Monday at HK$1.16, up 5.5 percent

No, I'm no longer holding any 0648. I took a hell-of-an-ugly tax loss on it. I haven't a clue whether Son/Kitao (the integrity of whom was my primary reason for the original investment) will finally get it together. I needed the tax loss to offset some long-term gains, so I took it. I might have stayed in otherwise, but my faith in the two has been more or less shattered.
