MPV stock is NOT ABER stock...except for the end gamewas there a huge controlling shareholder in ABER at that time? Comparisons with ABER are almost completely irrelevant with respect to MPV. MPV is trading at these levels for a reason. In order to really know what that reason is, you would have to speak with the TIGs. The price is controlled, the share float is mall, and the share price will eventually achieve its true value, and maybe even more. But only when the TIGs want it to. Thats the big difference between MPV and ABER, or most other stocks. When you play in the MPV sandbox, you play in the sandbox of the TIGs, and they control the sandbox. Either you accept it or you sell and move on. There will come a time when it is in the TIGs best interest to see the share price rise. We dont know when that is. It may be with permits, it may not be. It may be tomorrow, it may be when commisioning begins in 2016. Ultimately it will revalue based on the math of the economics behind the asset. So either you are in this for the long haul or you may be very very disappointed. And in fact, Patrick Evans has as much stated publicly that they are not interested in having short term trading oriented shareholders own the stock. You would be well advised to listen to him, while you are also listening to hinm speak of 1.00 per share dividends.
Heed this advise:
The TIGs dont care about opportunity cost whatsoeve. And I repeat, WHATSOEVER! Thats because they know the value of asset. and they know they will ultimately achieve its full (and I mean FULL) value. The question is WILL YOU! If you arent prepared to continue sitting and watching the asset de-risk and revalue, sell your stock.
