Shenguan Holdings Group (tkr: 829 HK)

I'll keep this short.  Shenguan Holdings Group is a collagen sausage casing manufacturer listed in Hong Kong with a market cap of c.US$2.2 billion.

I did not realize this, but apparently sausage casing manufacturing is a fantastic business in China (sarcasm intended).  Shenguan's topline grew at 45% in 2010 with an operating income margins of 58% (I double checked this).  Even if I believe in the topline growth, I can name less than a handful of businesses in the world with margins in that region.  Certainly not a sausage casing manufacturer.

Sorry, I just don't buy it.  Fraud.
