Hi charred,

I get the impression that you are still arguing that KRY isn't worth $5 per share. I think that argument was settled 2 years ago, and you were right!

The question today, is whether KRY is worth more than $11/16 per share or $29 million.

I don't know anything about gold mining, but I can read a financial statement. When I started looking at gold mining cos 2 months ago, I noticed that most of the 3rd tier and some of the 2nd tier were struggling to survive. KRY's financials, on the other hand, were improving dramatically:

crystallex.com

Working capital went from C$1.7 million in December 1998 to C$8.4 million in June 1999 and shareholder's equity went from C$67.8 million in December 1998 to C$71.1 in June 1999, a 5% increase at a time when many comparable cos seemed headed for bankruptcy.

More important, the company produced significant earnings and cash flow for Q1 & Q2 of 1999. (Richard has already covered this.)

At what P/E ratio would you value KRY?

What are the names of some of those other companies that you feel are superior investments?

Thanks in advance for your comments, John.
