Robert Friedland's IVN=his next $ multibillion disaster

Robert Friedland's IVN=his next $ multibillion disaster

Robert Friedland's IVN=his  next $ multibillion disaster

A  THE  STABBING
Bob  stabbed in the  back  his (. untill last month  patient..but  no more      )
, pre  IPO  investors   second  time    

Some  of  the  institutional  suckers   are  waiting  for  ANY  return
 of  their  money  as long as  15  Y    LOOOOL
 Take  another  15  Y  ,please   ... geeesus...he  and  his    aging buddies  (  who thought  
they  are  getting  good  deal  by    investing  VERY  early )   will be   sooner  dead    than  see
  a break  even  on IVN  (  if  cost of  15-  20  Y   time   is  included  )     LOOOOL  

1. First  stab -  locked  up  couple of   hundreds of  million of  their  shares  
for  up  to   3  y   on  sliding  scale  
In   SO  SPECTACULARY  FAILED  ATTEMPT /  SCHEME    to  propt    IVN SP
by  artificially   reducing  that   HUMONGOUS  OVERHANG  of  shares   
itching  to  sell.

He  milked  the  pre  IPO  suckers   for  too long
 and  for  too much  money  at   too high  price  in  hinsight
(   HE   DILUTED  THEM LATER     BY   hundreds  of  million  shares  
  ..while  preventing  most of  them  to  unload  at  higher prfice  ...geeeesus  )-   

The  pre-  IPO   suckers'    aver  cost  is  at   SEVERAL   levels    as  described  here
https://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard/t.ivn/ivanhoe-mines-limited?postid=22311555

" Bob orchestrated  pretty  nasty  shares  overhang  
IVN  has  then   571 m  sh , (is it  a  1  billion  yet  ? ...lol )
Floated  at IPO just  64m
Around   300m  sh  are  the   pre  IPO  investors  plus  tens of  millions  
 options,  warrants  , liquidity  shares  (your  head  spinns  looking  at
 the   "rewards"  awarded  to  them    )
  ...eager  to monetize   them  after  some  of  them  waiting  5  y
  for the   profits  .
Most of  them @   cost  $  1.6     second  biggest    pool  $  1.8  , some  $  2 , and  2.4"

Some  even  at  $  3.1    so  you  know  now    why  THE   RECURRING  DUMPS  at  1.8-$2
and  why the  targets  at  $  3.5 .
-==-----------------------------------

2.SECOND   STAB  -  THE  STRAW   BREAKING CAMEL'S  BACK  
LATEST DILUTION  AT  BELOW   THE  PRE-IPO  SUCKERS  (    EVEN THE  CHEAPEST  ONES )   COST .
FINALLY , THEY  REALIZED   THEY   NEVER  GONNA  GET   THEIR  MONEY  BACK  -  YET  ALONE  MAKE  PROFITS  

Feb  2014  I  wrote  here
https://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard/trq/turquoise-hill-resources-ltd?postid=22182677

THERE IS  JUST  COUPLE OF  MONTHS  LEFT   FOR  IVN  TO  RUN
 OUT OF   WORKING CAPITAL  AGAIN
Here  we  go
   That  latest  $  150 m   dilution  shall last them   till fall  and    then
 we  will  continue  on the   slippery  slope   of   more  and  more   dilution ( hundreds of  millions  sh )
 at  lower  and  lower  SP  aind   more  and  more   ridiculous   strings  attached  
 =========

B .   THE   WEEKLY  CHART   TELLS  THE   STORY

https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=IVN.TO&p=W&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p27759572703

1.  tHEY  DUMPED  ABOUT  50 M  SH  IN LAST  4  WEEKS
BIGGEST  DUMP IN IVN  SORRY  HISTORY  ,  E V E R  
5  TIMES  BIGGER THAN  THE   ipo WEEK  PUMP (7.5M  SH ) AND  NEXT  AFTER  ipo WEEK  DUMP (8M  SH )
2.  THE   ACUMMULATION /  DISTRUIBUTION  + ON BALANCE  VOL  +  FORCE  IND.  
SHOW   SPECTACULAR   VERTICAL  CLIFF  ...DOWN  TO  LEVELS   SEEN .....WELL  N E V E R   

3  Yet  relative  to  dumping  size.  the  SP   tanked  just  35%
   as opposed  to    cut  by  4  (  5.6  to  1.3)  during  1  y   grinding  downfal  after  IPO
Abeit  from  MUCH  lower   dead  cat  bounce   top  at  $  2
EITHER  MORE   DOWNSIDE OR   LOOOOOOONG  LASING   RANGE  AT  THE  NEW BOTTOM  
(  till next  dilution  at   lower  price   or    arms  and  legs  cutting   measures   ...news   )


 The  dumping  vol  during  WHOLE  IVN    20 MONTHS   HISTORY       is     lower  than  now  
GEEEEESUS  
Rising  dumping  vol  reflects  the   rising  avaliability  of   gradually  unlocking   pre  -IPO  holders  overhang  
(  selling  at  cost  or  at  loss  after   years  and  years  of   FALSE  HOPE  and promises).
AND  THE   DRAMATIC    DILUTION   (  TO   BE  CONTINUED  FOR  NEXT  5-  Y  AT LEAST )

IVN  -  A GOING  CONCERN  INDEED  .  FOR  YEARS  TO  COME  .
=======

C    IVN  DISASTER  FOR   INVETORS    IS    JUST  THE  NEXT  ONE  
     IN  LONG   STRING  OF   DISATERS    IN BOB`S   LAST   18  YEARS  
( not  to mentin   The  Cyainde  River  in   Guyana,DIAMONDWORKS in  Angola  ,or  USA  Galaxy/ Somerville   disaster )


C-1  )  TRQ  =  IVN  1.0  BEING  THE  BIGGEST    ONE  -   investors  lost    there
 $  billions , got  diluted  to  2  b  sh  .,  got   cut  by  7.5  TIMES  
WHILE  TRQ   AFTER  15  Y  AND  $ 6.5  b  CAPEX     REACHED  JUST  HALF  OF  THE  DEVELOPMENT  PLAN  
( NEEDS  ANOTHER  $  5- 6   B  AND , OR   FURTHER    1  B  SH  DILUTION  +  YEARS
  TO   ACHIEVE     JUST  5-10%   IRR... IF   ANY    AT  ALL
LOOOOOL
SEE HERE    ``Oyu Tolgoi highest in industry capex per 1 t Cu production-`
 https://www.stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard/trq/turquoise-hill-resources-ltd#PSDShg6t8DPY1qsS.99

 *  KAMOA  IS  VERY LIKELY  TO  FOLLOW  TRQ  PATH  BUT  AT  MUCH BIGGER
 CAPEX, POLITICAL  RISK   AND   AUTOMATELY  LIKELY  BIGGER   INVESTORS  LOSS.

AND  sgq  GEN MANAGER  BANNED  TO  LEAVE  COUNTRY  FOR  1 y  NOW )
Few  Y  ago  Bob  was  teasing  TECK  execs  -- "see , yoiu  have  just  10-15 m  coal  seams
 , I  have  in  SGQ   50  and  60 m "       
Now  see  chart what the, OF  COURSE" ONE OF THE GREATEST IN WORLD " lol

C-3  .  Ivanhoe  Energy    and  many  others   -
  ANOTHER   UNMISTAKABLE  SHAPE  OF   BOB COS   CHARTS

THE  CHARTS     SHALL  GO TO  HISTORY  OF  INVESTING  AS  "BOB'S  CURVE "  lol
IVN IS  OF  COURSE  ON IT'S  WAY  TO  FOLLOW   "BOB'S  CURVE"    TOO
https://chart.finance.yahoo.com/z?s=IE.TO&t=5y&q=l&l=off&z=l&a=v&p=s&lang=en-US&region=US

  IN  SUMMARY , BOB IS  NO  EXCEPTION  TO   HARD   STATISTICS  OF  CANADIAN   EXPLORERS  
 FOR  EVERY  1  SUCCESS  THERE IS  5-10  FAILURES  IN A  BULL MARKET
LATELY,  DURING THIS   COMMODITY   MULTI-YEAR  BEAR
   THE  ODDS  ARE   1-20  OR  EVEN  1:  30

But the  Vncouver  mining  masters  have  UNLIMITED  supply of  new
   "discoveries ," LOL  and  schemes
  SO,   investors LOSING  $$  BILLIONS  EVERY  YEAR   in  Canadian  explorers
  have  unlimited   new  supply of  hope  to  strike  gold    LOL
RARE  SOCIAL  PHENOMENON - hard   statistics  and  common sense  lose
 - hype  wins  by    $  billions .
The  brains of  those  bagholders  schould  be  dissected and   studied   
 to  understand  how the massive  lemmings  run  to own  destruction  works  
It is  DISTINCTIVE  TO  CANADIANS- no other market in  world
 offers  so  easy  way to   sell   mining  fairy  tales  and make    fortunes  for the  masters .
I  guess,you  won't give  up  a dream to win Lotto jackspot  till your last   penny  
Damm, the  odds.   geeesus  

BOB'S  FAILURE  RATE LATELY   TO  MAKE  MONEY  FOR  INVESTORS  LONG TERM
 ( PUMP  AND  DUMP periods  and   dead  cat   bounces   NOTHWISTANDING )
 IN LAST  10-  Y OR  SO  IS   CLOSE  TO 100%

100%     geeeeesus   

HOW  HE  CAN  MAKE  MONEY  FOR  YOU  IF    HE  CAN NOT  MAKE  MONEY  EVEN  FOR   HIMSELF ?
By  going   after   most  expensive to  drill  (   DECADE  OF  WAITING  IS A MINIMUM)  
 and  to  ex[ploid  ,hardly  economical   deposits  a mile  undrground ?    LOL
Big   ( but very  deep ) deposits  ARE  NO GUARANTEE OF   SUCCESS.
(see the  many  dewaterings   attampts  of  Kipushi over the  years    and back to   floodings    )
They  bear  big and  very  deep   risk for  which  no  one  has  apetite  lately .
 HIS  OWN  FORUNE   SHRANK  BY  4  TIMES -  BY 2 .5  B  =  WELL  BELOW   $  1B now
with personal liquidity problems  looming  .

I preffer  to  call  GECAMINES and  SODOMINCO " Sodomco  and  Gomorco"
