Oldapache, "your not clever enough"? Neither of us are by the look of it.

Oldapache, so why was DME so high and now so low although it seems to still be an active company in the helium sector? It's not failed. The buzz around it was considerable yet, now, investors have moved off and lost a lot of money but it's not bust. I just hope there isn't a pattern that promoters can follow where once they have the finance and the productive plant in place, they can string the market along until they can buy the assets back for themselves.

Maybe I'm all three. Now Helix is fully funded and in a good position to produce and sell, the shareholders aren't really needed anymore. The elevated share price of a while ago meant that the company did not need to borrow from the banks. If the investors can be discouraged and drift away lowering the share price, shares could be bought back cheaply. What puzzles me about DME which is still an active company is that it seems to be seen as a "dog" by the stock market (Vancouver) compared to four years ago but the principals are buying the shares back, perhaps if and when they can. Then, at the right moment, will they power ahead and rake in money, with more dividends going to themselves. Would this be a legal manoeuvre which I am suggesting?

Desert Mountain is a helium explorer which had a great buzz four years ago. In 2021 it peaked in the CAD 4-5 range but since mid 2023 has dawdled along around CAD 0.35. Now the thing is, although it isn't doing much, two directors have, at intervals, been buying shares back in amounts like 20,000 or 40,000 a time at the new low price. Other investors have presumably given up. So the directors will be able to increase their holdings and maybe one day, make something of the company when it suits them. The 2021 price will have given them the capital to develop the business with the money of now disappointed investors and they can wait until it suits them to start hauling in real returns. Is there a template here for how to string the market along? Am I being cynical?

I would like to learn more about Bo's previous project, the Mankota Project for Weil Group Resources.

I suppose the current sagging price just reflects the fall affecting Western stock markets rather than any malady with the company. Let's hope so.

As the price of helium soars, it becomes worth prospecting for helium but discoveries increase the supply and moderate the price. It is better to buy it when needed rather than stockpiling it as it leaks through storage materials. Is this why the share price is sagging even as production and sales near?

I was interested to read that helium will escape from any container eventually because it is so small, smaller than the gaps in the molecular structures of any materials. That is why long term stockpiling is probably a waste of time and money. Another fact is that helium cannot escape the Earth's gravitational field so that the Earth is enveloped in a cloud of very low density helium which over millions of years will get larger.

Indeed.

Trump's narrative seems to be beneficial for Hex although if he makes too much of a mess of the American and international economy, there are foreign sovereign actors like Putin who could lower the price to spoil the near term market.

Americans without tangible assets have been suffering since before, say, the year 1600. Is the "Separation of Powers" principle working? Trump's massive boost to US public debt is fantastic news for the corporations into whose coffers the money goes. America's economy has been growing but the benefits for the majority have been shrinking as the rich get richer and richer at an almost exponential rate as they pay less and less tax in a coup d'état against the people.

My post is unfairly censored. The suppressed word means flamboyantly, egregiously stylish with ostentatious fine manners and it rhymes with a very rude word with which it is unconnected.

i'm glad you are well-cushioned against the risks. in the nineteen-sixties, my mother's employers were best friends with a family who were very rich and s****y (but nice). they impressed us with their rolls royce, so immaculate and quiet. but it was not only a "roller" they owned, they owned a huge portion of the rolls royce company. and then, suddenly, their shares were worthless and they had no other shares. i don't know what happened to them after that: they were utterly bankrupt. i suppose they had a house to sell and the car and some antiques and jewellery. i've never forgotten that.

Don't know if putting it all in Hex is a good idea. It is quite a small cap company and the product is exhaustible: the life of the field is projected to be 12 years. It is a good way for the oilmen to earn their livings and then they will be retired. This isn't the first time these fields have been drilled and helium accumulates over aeons.

His voters know what he means even if he doesn't.

BodRuncie, isn't share churning a huge industry in the UK? It seems quite clever: traders take small profits on many stocks, dipping in and out, instead of tying their money up as long term investors do which is another strategy. The churners are trying to keep up with market news and sentiment whereas Bo and his friends deeply know the hydrocarbon mining market and are committed to it.

Good, Skippy, you are one of those fortunates born not requiring instruction, guidance, tuition, dictionaries, encyclopaedias and glossaries. The rest of us bumble on as best we can.

Thanks. A dim light is coming on but I still don't understand fully.

So what are those underlying assets? The helium, the capital plant, the skills, the brand name, the IP, the debt? I'm sorry if I would like to know, that's just me. The definitions I looked up were difficult to translate into this instance. I wonder whether you really know.

I'm referring to the market in Warrant Shares where investors buy "underlying assets".
