RE:RE:Rick Rule discuss AbcourtHaving someone like you Fernand, that will defend the indefensable, is what keep this ABI blog interesting to read. Ricks moose pasture example don't apply to Abcourt because ABI portfolio of mining properties clearly have lots of gold, silver copper and zinc and is not moose pasture in any sense. ABI stagnant share price is at level that is a fraction of value shareholders of ABI would get if ABI component mining properties sold off seperately piecemeal. Reason for this discount in market is fact that ABI contolling Hinse family use ABI to support their lifestyle and are not interested in moving mining properties forward. Note, no serious instutions investor put capital at work in ABI, because serious investors, unlike you Fernand, see ABI for what it is, namely a Hinse lifestyle company. Rick point out value trap lifestyle company, descriptive of ABI, is second worse investment to make right behind a mining promotion company. Rick say good thing about a value trap lifestyle company, which l Abcourt fit bill, is that value trap does have real value so downside is limited to perhaps 25%, unlike mining promotion company where investor can lose it all. Per Rick Rule main downside of value trap, which ABI is real world example, is that investor loses time having currency tied up in company where MGMT don't want to move assets forward vs.investing in mining stock with good MGMT that want to move asset forward and make shareholders money.
