Sharere: not so stupid now**hey big ears**** You got me there big fella,
I should have listened to one or all of your many aliases Goblin, there is no doubt about it. I'd be buying flat out at 23c today if I had. Ah well, thems the breaks. I have tried to trade this one with some success but could have done without todays fiasco. Still, I've been in and out since 8c so perhaps not such a blow. Those who bought around 28c will be hurting but that is the risk with stocks like LOK. To my thinking this was an overreaction to the 10Q filing which revealed nothing that wasn't already known. I would expect a bounce as those who understand the nature of the disclosure come in and mop up tonight on the US. Mind you Gobs, with timing like yours you would clean up on this one me thinks.
regards

And, in fact, for the 2008 year? Well, I've been running some numbers.
Lihir has been a pretty consistent underpeformer, in recent years. However, when you place that label on them, you always have to be careful.
Until recently, they have been a one mine company. And, there aren't too many mines in the world which produce +600,000oz almost every year, yet still get labelled as "underperformers". Consider LGL's past production. For the years from 1998 to 2002, each year was over 600koz of production. However, there was always an expectation that some lower grade ore would need to be accessed, in order to get to the next layer of good stuff. That happened, starting in 2003, with that year to 2007 going as follows: 550koz
599koz
596koz
651koz
701koz
With the exception of 2005, each year has seen about 50koz p.a. increased production. Pretty tidy, for any company, hey? Well, apparently not for LGL.
Their main problem has been perennial over-promising, rather than actually under-delivering. Consider what they estimated they would produce in presentations for the above years, starting in 2003:
+600koz
600koz
700koz
670koz
+800koz
The other big problem has been their hedge book. Let me give you an example, from their June 2003 quarterly, of what (in hindsight) appears to be an insane hedge book:-
2004 - deliver 218koz @ $US325/oz
2005 - 180koz @ $335
2006 - 222koz @ $322
2007 - 330koz @ $324
2008 - 375koz @ $332
2009 - 243koz @ $351
2010 - 10koz @ $327
So, their hedge book insanity only ended in 2010 and, in all likelihood, only because it was hard to hedge so far forward, back in 2003. Look at the prices, though - when they placed those hedges, they thought $320 - $350 would hold true for 7 years! In fact, at the time I took these numbers from (June 2003), the spot price was already $US345/oz and the hedge book was underwater to the tune of $56m. The following June, it had tripled to $166m on a spot price of $396/oz. You can see where this is going, can't you?
Of course, that was just the start. When all was said and done, LGL finally closed out its hedge book in 2007, via a $1.2bn capital raising, when the gold price had reached over $600/oz.
However, this little foray into the past, while interesting, is not without meaning. There is a little trick to do with hedge loss accounting, which means that LGL continues to suffer write-offs, even though it paid off its hedge book, using freshly-issued capital, back in 2007. I won't bore you with the "why". All you need to know is the "how much". Accounting standards require LGL to write off the following non-cash items: 2008 - $77m; 2009 - $102m; 2010 - $82m; 2011 - $44m.
Now, let's look at what LGL had to say in their Q308 quarterly report. Apparently, we're looking for 850koz of production for 2008, @$420/oz cash costs. Assuming an average gold price for 2008 of about $850/oz for the year, you would expect a gross margin of about $365m. Now, an operation like LGL (especially now that it's a multi-mine company) costs a lot to run. Then, you have exploration, development and depreciation write-offs. Costs a lot! So, at the end of the day, the first thing you can take off their net $365m profit is $77m of hedging write-offs. Nasty!
So, what did they report for the first 6 months? $36m of net profit. What can we expect for the 2nd half? A bit more, I would think. Why? Well, the achieved gold price in the first half was higher (at about $910/oz) than it will be in the second half (at about $820/oz). However, production should be higher in the second half, such that overall production should be split 40% first half, 60% second half. I would expect a net profit in the order of $50m (before tax, but after hedge write-offs).
However, here is the key for LGL. It now has two, big non-cash items cropping up in each report. They both reduce the company's dividend-paying ability, however they don't reduce its cashflow. The first is the hedging items, mentioned above; the second is depreciation and amortization charges. To give you an example of how large an effect they have on LGL, in the first half, EBIT before DA and hedging was $190m. Add in hedging losses, depreciation and amortization, and you get your $36m net profit.
So, you can see that LGL generates an awful lot of cash each year. Each year, it choses to spend some on keeping its existing operations running, but after that, it still has hundreds of millions per annum, which cannot be distributed as dividends to sharholders, because the effect of hedging and depreciation accounting, results in declared profits being reduced (and dividends can only be declared out of accumulated profits).
Consequently, we see the 1moz p.a. Lihir upgrade. However, that won't use up all of the free cash which the operation is throwing off at present gold prices, so Ballarat is purchased. Still not enough, so Equigold is gobbled up.
Given that LGL knew that they would be accounting earnings-constrained (and therefore dividend-constrained) for the next couple of years, I guess it was to be expected that they would be acquisitive. It gives them something (apart from Lihir Island) to spend their hundreds of millions of free cashflow on developing. They can't pay it out in divvies, so they may as well put it to use creating future earnings potential.

ShareVery direct, and good post. It's only others that will feel the shame for the directors TSS.
A leopard does not change its spots, nor a tiger its stripes.
Their record indicates that they can't feel shame. With these "piggy backs" now approved, they will obtain even more power. Small investors, unless there one of their mates, will be the losers.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

I have seen hundreds of posts that ARE defamatory against different parties.
My conscience is clear; I don't feel any remorse about what I posted. Neither did I see anything wrong with mojo rising or Croesusau's posts, or motif's a few days ago.
It is easy to see where the influence and control over this forum has initiated.
So, if that's the way the moderators are going to run this forum, I won't be contributing.

Sharerogerm, while you've deciphered the good and bad posters, have you also pigeon holed the ones that have fallen in love with the stock and reject any opinion other than the one they want to hear?
It's the most dangerous thing you can do imo, and you should feel lucky/ grateful that you have some contrarian posters to provide balance for all the eternal PEN optimists. But what would I know?
PEN is very tradable, but not out of the woods by a long way imo.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view
-
ShareSo you can see both sides of the story matty.
I'm in the same boat having traded PEN from time to time.
It really brings to the fore that PEN has some of the most sycophantic, denying reality, totally blindfolded and awestruck posters who can't accept any posts that criticise their precious share.
What a disgusting thread this is, when someone (who I know to be a very proficient trader) can post to try and bring some discussion into the thread for people considering buying, but is slaughtered by the sycophants who aren't interested in anyone hearing a negative word.
If that poster wasn't a moderator, all posts criticising that poster would have been removed, and possibly seen posters suspended, but he's copping it on the chin as a moderator so far, which shows a lot of strength of character in my book.
Shame on many of you.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

ShareAgree seuss.
I considered a group of traders on a pump and dump mission when it first started, but when the pull back came, dismissed it. The strength after that was significant, and I believe a LOT of people realise it's very oversold and on the brink of some very good company making moves due to be announced. Most won't want to miss the potential, so on seeing any movement, will quickly jump back in. That's no pump and dump.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view
-
ShareI know. Maybe I didn't explain myself very well.
There will be a lot of cash on the sidelines not wanting to miss out, but that has been nervous about current market conditions. Movement in stock price is enough to bring that money back in. Nothing to do with management, just investor psychology imo.

Do you have a 2.7 million deposit for a new home?
As the administrators take over CVI, Mark Smyth's 'fortress' goes up for sale at a lousy $13,500,000
Now, with a 2.7million deposit, and interest rate of 7.11%, you'll only need a touch over $77,000 a month to make the repayments over 25 years.
Feeling sick enough yet?
Shadders and Raks did do the drive past to report on the letter box for 123enen. I remember it well from just after the EGM days.
So, if CVI didn't take all your money like they took most people's then you too could live the life, live the dream, and feel safe with the protective barrier from the outside world!
Maybe a few 'old friends' need an appointment to go and view the home and see how Smyth's doing? Is the dementia well advanced yet? Any house guests? Malcolm Johnson, Anton Tarkanyi, excelsior perhaps?

ShareI am guessing that the ASX are giving them grief again, because on page 5 of the presentation, they obviously had the numbers prepared, that were going to be released in time for the AGM. (Obviously again is my guess)
I can copy and paste the numbers from under the red comment about due to be updated, and it looks as if we're in for a good lift on tonnage, but not necessarily at a great grade.
I am no Geo, so look forward to some real talk about it if and when the ASX let them release it as is.
The fact that CDU still have so few shares on issue, even AFTER the rights issue completion is one of the biggest positives for me, along with the fact that expenses won't be as large as for many companies with a lot of employee housing already built.
Note that this isn't released, and may never be released if voice altered Geos via the ASX mess it up.
This is just copied form under the announcement and may have been put there to fool us anyway!

ShareI find that post rather repugnant and cynical cusox.
Right now, imo it's a buy.
What does that have to do with anything else?
Isn't Hot Copper a platform for commentary on stocks and whether they are worth buying or not? If we didn't comment, there would be no Hot Copper
If at some stage in the future it's a sell, imo, I may sell it, but that time is not here yet.
Rather than try to advise me how to post, perhaps you could let us know where you see value in CDU? Do you wait for it to be proven and moving up again?
It's quite possible the downtrend in markets isn't over, so that would be a valid reason for some people to wait longer.
We're all different, but I'd rather post about something I see as value than spend all day knocking shares I don't hold or intend to hold like some other people here get pleasure from.

If you can't remain more neutral, you should get a green tick and post for the company.
You simply can't give a value on it without ALL the information.

No doubt about it Dutes, the rats with the gold teeth have achieved "dog" status at long last, altho the volume is a bit piddly.
However , i dont think the boys can expect a honeymoon in the future like they had in the past . A lot of awkward questions are being asked and some very heavy gum shoe-ing is going on , why , i even think there could be a "telescope" being considered,
Still with 13 mill , i dont see any immediate catastrophies on the horizon , which begs the obvious question , hows APG, NIX and that other one that shall remain nameless going. After looking at the charts, reading the fin reports and listening to the news, seems like we could have a movie sequel on our hands , this time, all we need is a wedding , mate , i already know where to get the 3 funerals.

ShareI get your drift joewolf.
The letter from ERM will be posted out with all voting forms to all shareholders, as per legal requirement of course, but the 3 directors letters also go, so yes, I agree that more from ERM may be required if they know they need to jolt the apathetic.
Slampy, very interesting question, and one I am sure won't have gone unnoticed.
Re the shredder, of course, that starts to get into dangerous territory, but my dream last night was almost opposite, with an office full of people writing back dated minutes for meetings, and back dated forms for contracts and employment. It was a hectic dream, and I hope there's no reality in it at all.
