RE:THIS IS FROM IVN'S JAN 10TH. 2022 NEWS RELEASE.topadvisor1 wrote: Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures
Cash costs (C1) and cash costs (C1) per pound are non-GAAP financial measures. These are disclosed to enable investors to better understand the performance of the Kamoa-Kakula Project in comparison to other copper producers who present results on a similar basis. Cash costs (C1) are prepared on a basis consistent with the industry standard definitions by Wood Mackenzie cost guidelines but are not measures recognized under IFRS.
NOW SINCE IVN HAS CHOSEN TO USE C1 AS A MEASURE OF COSTS, SO WILL I AND USE IT TO DO MY CALCS.
IF YOU THINK IVN IS ONLY WORTH 20 DOLLARS, I SUGGEST YOU SELL IMMEDIATELY SINCE I AM SURE YOU CAN DO BETTER IN STOCKS LIKE NCU OR EVEN THE OIL STOCKS.
I KNOW WHERE MY MONEY IS, YOU ALL SUIT YOURSELVES, BUT I WILL JUMP DOWN YOU THROATS WHEN IVN IS AT 60 DOLLARS AND SOME HERE, SHOULD GET THAT TREATMENT EVEN NOW, SINCE LAST YEAR SOME HERE THOUGHT WHEN I SAID 15 DOLLARS IT WAS WAYYYYY TOO HIGH. LOL HEHEHEHEHEHEHE. WHAT A BUNCH OF ULTRAMAROONS.
THTA'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CAN'T TELL A HUGE GROWTH COMPANY AND HUGE UPCOMMING EARNINGS AND HOW IT WILL REFLECT IN THE SHAE PRICE. SOME REALLY SHOULD STICK TO BINGO OR GIC'S MUCH LESS STRESS ON YOUR BRAINS SINCE ALMOST ALL OF YOU DIDN'T GET STOCKS LIKE TESLA, OR ANY OTHER HUGELY SUCCESFUL GROWTH STOCK. I MISSED TESLA BUT FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT MANY COMPANIES WITH THE RIGHT INGREDIANTS CAN AND WILL DO THE SAME. MANY HAVE DONE 1000'S OF PERCENTAGE POINTS BUT IF I TOLD YOU BEFORE THEY WERE GOING TO DO IT, YOUR BRAINS ARE SIMPLY TOO SMALL AND WIRED TO BE ULTRA CONSERVATIVE WITH EVERYTHING TO SAY IT CAN'T HAPPEN. I AM DONE ARGUING. SO FAR, I HAVE BEEN RIGHT WITH MY IVN PROJECTIONS, AND 3 YEARS FROM NOW, I KNOW I WILL BE CLOSE, WHEREASS MOST HERE WILL BE LONG GONE, THANK GOD.
Don't get your panties in a knot. We're just discussing how to properly calculate EPS. Geez. And that statement above from IVN regarding cash costs is all fine and dandy, but nowhere does it say that the C1 cost metric is what should be used to calculate EPS!
I have no doubt IVN is going to be worth a sh!t ton more in the future. But it's not going to happen over night so that's why I keep a large core position of IVN and trade in/out of other sectors and stocks as I see fit. I will continue to add to my IVN position with the profits from those other trades!
