RE: RE: RE: RE: Who is Other?

I'm not saying that Volta is a bad company, or that mgmt is doing a bad job, or that things won't ever turn around for them, but I think objectively, unless you bought your entire position into the lows at <= .5 (or have managed to somehow trade your way into that position) it's been a terrible investment.  Even somebody who bought in recently at the 'bargain price' of .75 is now down about 30%.

 

It's not that I think .54 is a fair price for the company - I actually think that ~5.00 would be a pretty fair price, if valuations went back to what they'd been in the early 2000's and probably if a real junior gold stock mania ever kicks off VTR could get a lot more than that.  But there's a lot that can go wrong on the trip from .50 to 5, which is why I think the huge undervaluation isn't just 'something to wait out' but actually a huge risk that exposes all longer-time share holders (with a higher entry price) to monstrous risk - political risk, takeover risk at a ridiculously low price, gold-price risk, etc....

 

Congratulations to anybody getting in here for the first time, for the rest of us, too late to do anything now but hope something turns before a big negative black swan kills us all.
