Bloomberg consensus targets
A lot of people misunderstand what this number means.
The consensus means that it is an average of several analysts. In that sense it is factually correct
However this consensus target needs to probed more deeply when a large company is involved and in the case of a small company it means very little.
Analysts mighr issue a report on a small company 2 to 4 times per year. The Bloomberg consensus target provides no date stamp on when each analyst did their report.
TD dropped its target to 35 cents from 85 cents on August 22 for example. Some reports issued prior to the Anto announcement are incorporated into the consensus number. They do not reflect the new reality.
For all small companies it is true that consensus numbers are meaningless subsequent to a major company event. Only reports issued after the big event have any relevance

What are your motives by posting here frequently the negatives and encouraging investors to sell? Did you short this stock or what? By the way, I know the meaning of consensus

hme; Yes. In the context I understood that you got what consensus meant. My comment is that many investors do not grasp the point I made. Several of my friends have bought shares in part based on consensus targets. It can give comfort. Most of them do not understand the timing factor. That was it. mat

Yoda: Financing is the bad outcome to wish for. Market do not trust this management for reasons that I have explained before. The best outcome would be buyout.

Hey HME calm down. He did not say I and RD got out...he was advising us to do so which is very kind of him as he truly believes what he is saying and may be right. This is a long shot right now imho and I may lose all my investment in this company. I am willing to take the risk for reasons I have outlined but also understand that others may disagree and that they could be right....time will tell.

I would guess that most of us have very little to recover if we sell now. Hoping that Anto comes up with a rescue plan that doesn't involve bankruptcy is one of our hopes ?

rocdic: Every geologist worth the paper of his degree would understand that he should not drill at random. They use various means to guess where it is most likely to find ore and drill there. So only a portion of property being drilled is because those part where most likely to host ore.

You are right. The market is not valueing the rest. It is looked at as an entrance to lottery. In a bull market you pay for it. In a bear market it is priced at 0. I am long too so don't take this as bashing.
