China Direct Trading Corp. (OTCBB: CHDT) (China Direct), a Florida corporation, is pleased to announce an investor conference call on Monday, April 23rd at 11AM Eastern Time. The call will review earnings as well as focus on 2007 business opportunities.

"During the fourth quarter, we made some difficult, but necessary, changes to our business model that had an impact on our annual numbers," said Howard Ullman, Chairman and CEO of China Direct Trading Corporation. "We made the changes to focus our total efforts on maximizing our productivity at building upon our established core competency -- being a provider of imported consumer products to the mass retail market. To provide for better consistency in financial performance we sold off our majority stake in the Complete Power Solutions, a local standby power generator installation business. The efforts of our management and employee team are focused on our wholly owned Capstone Industries division, with the result that I am very pleased to report in advance that we expect Capstone to have contributed approximately $250,000 in profits in the fourth quarter of FY2006.

"I thank our shareholders for their patience as we absorbed some short-term pain for what I believe will be much better long-term prospect. Capstone's contribution bears out that these changes were the correct ones to make. We look forward to seeking to expand Capstone's product offerings and leveraging their extensive distribution network of top retailers," concluded Mr. Ullman.

The conference call will be held on Monday, April 23, 2007 at 11:00 AM ET. The dial-in number is: (319) 632-1100 and participants will enter 260372# to access the call.

Maybe this WILL be my gem pick of the month.
This has been a pile of poop for too long. It is primed for a run.
Put away your fly swatters!! It is time for this underpriced stock to fly.

52 week low......this is the time to stock up.
I just bought 270K at the 52 week low....now watch it plummet!
(I am using reverse psychology - if I say watch it rise, it would end up down the toilet in an hour)
$3700 investment --and it already has fallen to a new 52 week low before I even finish this reply. LOL!
I better buy some more. It is on clearance!

Odd coincidence....52 week low comes EXACTLY one year (to the day) from 52 week high.

Okay. What is up with this?
They go corporate, put up a great new website, hire more employees...and the stock is at a 52Week low???
I wish I had the balls to invest more into this one.
