Thanks for the sharing. I've been looking at the stock the last 2 weeks and made a bid at 54.5 cents but didn't get it. It's too high for me to go in now at 60 cents (don't dare). I will monitor it from now on. Congrats on getting in at a much lower price.

I strongly believe STRACO future looks bright. I will still buy on price's weakness.
2013 was an outstanding year for the Group’s operations in China, exceeding our conservative expectations in light of moderated growth forecasts. This was the result of both a dominant tourist sector, as well as a successful effort by our front line team to boost our visitorship. The improved performance also affirmed our development decisions for our attractions; we remain capable of serving increased tourist flows without any compromise in visitor experience, given our current capacities.
STAYING STRONG IN A MATURING MARKET
The economy in China has entered a new stage of transition, with the government shifting from rapid growth towards tighter industry controls for long-term stability. With the introduction of the China Tourism Law, we foresee a period of adjustment for industry operators- including business partners for our attractions - which will eventually lead to better protection for all stakeholders in the industry.
As the overall economy matures, so will we see the entry of new players into the tourism space in China. With Disneyland Shanghai slated to open in December 2015, we expect a sustained boost to tourism to Shanghai as well as its surrounding cities. This development is also in line with the rising expectations of increasingly travelled locals, who make up over 90% of our visitorship. We ensure our relevance to our valued visitors by continually renewing our exhibit mix, educational content and media for increased user friendliness, localization, and by incorporating technological trends such as social media and smartphone interactions.

Straco ex dividend on 6/5/2014 may find support at 60 cts. The catalyst for next climb will depend on the 1st quarter 2014 result which is on 9/5/2014. As long as Straco able to grow its top and bottom lines, the share price will difinately increase.
