It's related compound ethylene dibromine (EDB) was used in making leaded gasoline but was banned because it was found to be a known cause of cancer
In flame proofing agents
In pesticides
Inorganic bromine is used in photography film

Reviewing your post again, gcrispin, this time a little closer.

RSG: Congrats (It going from $12-->$27)

KTOS: Congrats again. That one didn't fit my requirements when you first mentioned it.

PRSC: I'll go with Res-Care (RSCR)

CLDX: Too tough for me: no earnings, high p/bk

CNDA: I'll look a little closer.

CHGI: Okay, I'll place an order.

CHNG: China Natural Gas. Looks a little expensive to me.

GRFE: GRUS people should be happy people -g-.

===============================
Hunting among Chinese microcaps is daunting. So many out there to review.

Is this pull back in CHNG (news related - taking longer tpo get their LNG plant on-line if I u nderstand) a buying opportunity. Nice discount from the OCt 10 price.

KCAP (which I think has been discussed occasionally on this thread) pounded yesterday on an accounting issue and delayed 10Q. I sold half my position but would certainly consider buying back if it gets hit down below $4 (maybe higher but under $4 I think it would be a good value). On the negative side their accounting may be a little suspect <g>.
