Like to re-visit every few months as I made good money on this name previously.
I see lots of commentary on insider buying, executive shuffles, great outlook for Colombia or not so great outlook, etc.
The important issue, the EXISTENTIAL issue, has been shuffled off to the side, ignored or camouflaged:
Where is the money going to come from to meet the first debt repayment that comes due in Q4 and continues each quarter thereafter.
Any significant insight on the existential issue is appreciated. Personally I couldn't care less if person X, Y or Z paid $3, $30, or $300 per share. Last I checked, nor does the market. I am really interested in knowing how the company meets the payments due in Q4 2013, Q1 2014, Q2 2014,...etc.
This company still offers the opportunity for the small investor to make a very nice return on investment. I'm just not sure whether that return is going to come from the the long or short sides!
At this level, one generally has to put up 25 cents margin to short, more depending on where you're dealing. But if it goes from 20 cents to 5 cents, that is still a great return. Against this one has to balance the idea, if you were CFO, would you turn down an offer of $50 or $75 million from an investor willing to pay 25 cents per share? So, the potential upside risk is 5 cents, no?
