no probs. i get what you mean now.

it sure did zccax77 :)

"Poor read across bigsmoke." Hardly.
"Glencore went from 66p to 300p I never stated it went to 700p" but............
"WOW Glencore style recovery to 700p?"
- the takeaway was that GLEN went to 700p - i was going to say that KAZ went down to roughly same levels as GLEN and went 700p above (I think). Thought you were mixing your miners for a monent.

16.08.19 - Did You Manage To Avoid Petra Diamonds's (LON:PDL) 95% Share Price Wipe Out?

Long term investing is the way to go, but that doesn't mean you should hold every stock forever. We really hate to see fellow investors lose their hard-earned money. For example, we sympathize with anyone who was caught holding Petra Diamonds Limited (LON:PDL) during the five years that saw its share price drop a whopping 95%. And some of the more recent buyers are probably worried, too, with the stock falling 75% in the last year. Furthermore, it's down 62% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders.

We really hope anyone holding through that price crash has a diversified portfolio. Even when you lose money, you don't have to lose the lesson.

Check out our latest analysis for Petra Diamonds

Petra Diamonds isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. Some companies are willing to postpone profitability to grow revenue faster, but in that case one does expect good top-line growth.

In the last half decade, Petra Diamonds saw its revenue increase by 0.9% per year. That's not a very high growth rate considering it doesn't make profits. It's not so sure that share price crash of 46% per year is completely deserved, but the market is doubtless disappointed. We'd be pretty cautious about this one, although the sell-off may be too severe. A company like this generally needs to produce profits before it can find favour with new investors.

A Different Perspective

We regret to report that Petra Diamonds shareholders are down 75% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 2.0%. Having said that, it's inevitable that some stocks will be oversold in a falling market. The key is to keep your eyes on the fundamental developments. Unfortunately, last year's performance m
