Espial (ESP.T $3.01) was a perfect example of an ignored public company and the benefits of patience. October 2012 I featured Espial to Ticker Trax subscribers at 52 cents and then again January 2013 at $1.02. The stock price struggled throughout 2013 as there was no interest and by the summer it was at 40 cents.
It started to move by Q4/13 (with the same fundamentals) and now is 600% higher than the summer of 2013 - yet it had similar revenue and the industry outlook was just as good. BUT the sector was doing well in Canada and they managed to finally attract an audience of retail investors including some institutional money. In this case the patience would have paid off dramatically.
Many investors will avoid Rockwell simply because they are in South Africa – a region well known for labor issues and strikes that have paralyzed the platinum industry in 2014 and also hurt gold production. It is important to note that these industries in South Africa are centered around old mines that in the majority of cases are incredibly deep (the miners work under terrible conditions).
Labor issues are a risk with any mining operation in South Africa but Rockwell is far removed from the major centers seeing all these problems and their mining operations are “surface”, not underground.
South Africa in my opinion is not enough to offset the ridiculously low valuation we are seeing on Rockwell Diamonds. I often see grassroots exploration companies trading with far higher market caps than Rockwell – yet RDI has healthy producing mines in a unique industry with growing demand and shrinking supply.
