[Pfandbrief]

Machen derzeit keinen Gewinn, haben erhebliche Probleme in China, und sind derzeit nicht in der Lage, einen Jahresabschluss zeitgerecht zu erstellen (weswegen ihr Symbol CLST das ominöse "E" angehängt bekam).

Das Management scheint ziemlich unfähig zu sein.

Bin trotzdem long, weil die Marktkapitalisierung auf Mickymausniveau geschrumpft ist, und bei jeder positiven Nachricht ein Hüpfer nach oben passieren sollte.

Nichts für schwache Nerven!!

Wenn kaufen, dann in Amerika bitte. Schenkt den deutschen Börsen kein Geld, indem Ihr Monsterspreads bezahlt.

Grad gabs news, ich stell das unten ein...das interessante ist wohl die positive Aussage zum Lateinamerika-Umsatz in Q4, das wissen wir nämlich noch nicht, könnte also kursrelevant sein.

Übermorgen findet ein Hearing zum Nasdaq Delisting statt (Standardprozedur bei Unternehmen, die nicht rechtzeitig Zahlen bringen). Zu hoffen ist, dass sie Aufschub bekommen. Wenn das so ist, sollten wir eine weitere Kurserholung sehen.

CARROLLTON, Texas, April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CellStar Corporation (Nasdaq: CLSTE - News) today announced that its subsidiary in Mexico, Cellular Express S.A. de C.V. ("CELEX"), has signed a definitive agreement to invest in a joint venture with Soluciones Inalambricas S.A. de C.V. ("Wireless Solutions") and its individual partners. The joint venture, which will operate under the name Comunicacion Inalambrica Inteligente, S.A. de C.V. ("CII"), will provide handset distribution and activation services for Radio Movil Dipsa S.A. de C.V. ("Telcel"), the largest cellular phone company in Mexico. CELEX will own 51% of CII and the other 49% will be owned by the individual partners of Wireless Solutions. Subject to conditions outlined in the agreement, the deal is expected to close during the second quarter of this year.

CELEX and Wireless Solutions combined currently operate 43 kiosks inside Liverpool and Fabricas de Francia ("Liverpool") national department stores in Mexico, in which they sell handsets, air time and related accessory products, and provide activation services for Telcel. The two companies also provide electronic delivery of airtime for Telcel to any handset model in all 52 Liverpool department stores nationwide. These segments of business for both companies will be transferred to CII, the newly formed joint venture, making it the only Telcel agent with nationwide retail capabilities. Under a separate agreement between CELEX and CII, CELEX will be responsible for managing the handset distribution to all of the Liverpool retail locations.

"In mid 2003 we announced our plans to restore our operation in Mexico to profitability," said Robert Kaiser, CEO and president of CellStar. "We believed increased activations would be one of the key factors to our success; we aggressively pursued that strategy and today we are pleased to announce a deal that we believe will significantly increase our activations. Over the last couple of years, we have significantly increased our activations business in Mexico to an average of approximately 12,000 per month. This new joint venture will allow us to more than double our current monthly activation rate and provide future opportunities to expand. We also believe it will further strengthen our relationship with Telcel and lead to increased handset distribution opportunities throughout Mexico."

Latin America was CellStar`s strongest performing region in 2004. The Company expects fourth quarter 2004 revenues in Latin America to be up approximately 40% to 45% compared to the third quarter, and fiscal 2004 revenues for the region to be higher than they have been in the last two years. Operating income in Latin America is expected to be up significantly for fiscal 2004 compared to 2003 when the Company reported an operating loss of $5.0 million.

Wireless Solutions has been an authorized distributor for Telcel since 1991 and is among the top five distributors for Telcel in Mexico. Wireless Solutions currently has retail and wholesale operations in five of Mexico`s nine cellular regions.

"We are excited about joining forces with CellStar," said Miguel A. Kuri, general director of Wireless Solutions. "Our combined industry expertise and relationships should allow us to expand our Liverpool business model to other nation-wide department stores, pharmacies, supermarkets and convenience stores in Mexico."
