hedge against Tech crash?5 May 2022 20:15
Provided we get some good news soon, KP2 should hopefully be a good hedge in the coming market slump.
Firstly, Tech stocks will bear the brunt of the selling, being the most overpriced stocks,
Secondly, interest rates going up reduce the valuations of all stocks, but above all stocks that eat up a lot of cash against the promise of future profits;
Although KP2 is bound to be affected too, it has a few pluses;
It operates in food production in effect, with prices of its (future) production still high and expected to remain high (until Putin is removed, sanctions on the 40% RUS/BELARUS market share will remain in place);
Food is the last thing people will reduce spending on;
High barriers to entry due to huge cost, and time lag in developing a mine (affects KP2 too of course, which needs about $1.5 bln for the mine development).
In a market of uncertain, volatile returns, steady cash flow (if and when KP2 gets it) becomes more valuable.
50-60% of LTshareholders, who are not trigger happy, provide a solid foundation for the Share price.
All IMO, DYOR and GLA
