RE:RE:RE:Valuation is what you will payIn truth, Buffett doesn't really invest in tech. it's not his specialty. My point was that any long-term successful investor learns how to value a company to see if it's undervalued, fairly valued or overvalued. Even the best company in the world, if overvalued, is often not the best buy. My strategy is to find great companies that are undervalued or at least fairly valued. In my opinion PYR is overvalued by a wide margin. You obviously disagree and that is fine. Nothing I say on these boards is going to move the share price anyway, so we can have our divergent opinions and still respect each other, can't we?
As Buffett says, in the short term the market is a voting machine but in the long run it's a weighing machine. That is exactly what each of us is doing here. Voting. Looking at the public information about PYR, valuing it how we each see fit, and then trying to figure out where it's going to be in the future. In the long run, the weighing will happen whether we want it to or not. It doesn't care how we've voted, because sales will happen and profits and losses will be tallied, and the market will decide in what direction the price should move.

Yes he would want to buy Pyrogenesis out but Pete won't sell bc he knows what he has.
Your posts are deliberately trying to push your agenda.
I've done lots of valuation models of forward looking projections but only amongst close friends. If I post these projections and or what I really feel Pyrogenesis sp can be...it would be seen as obscene pumping..so I don't.
Long and strong PYROGENESIS!

Actually, real investing is about calculating valuations to see if a company is undervalued, fairly valued, or overvalued. There are different metrics you can use that will give you different answers, but the process is still about factoring in various quantitative and qualitiative data to arrive at a price point. As stated, my analysis is "back of the envelope," and it relies heavily on one common metric for valuing smallcap stocks (revenue multiples). However, up to now I don't see anybody else even trying to work with the numbers to come up with a valuation.
One thing I can assure you: Buffett would not be paying $4.00/share for PYR.

Company valuations are basically what people will pay regardless of what the companies actual intrinsic value is, in Pyro case they were worth around $2.50 at the beginning of the year with the $40 mm backlog and I was buying at .20 in March, since then they have added $$millions$$ more in sales so intrinsic value is now higher, the recent PP at $3.60 sounds about right, now add the reality of what just happened today by signing our first contract with a major iron ore company... woot woot all aboard!
stay safe!
