I never suggest that investors should fall in love with a penny stock, and sub-penny stocks are even less loving. However, HIMR may be different. Even the concept of how to invest in HIMR, and how much deserves careful consideration. Can you afford to invest, and then just walk away?
First, one should keep in mind that there is no such thing as a sure thing --- and that goes double when investing in sub-penny plays. Yet, Hollund is alone in this industry as the only company capable of commercially harvesting large tracts of underwater forests. Forests that are worth billions because of the exotic and rare tree species found in these submerged tree cemeteries. And, not just exotic and rare, these trees are old growth and in many cases ancient.
Triton Logging is Hollund's only true competitor. Typically, if a company only has a single competitor in a world-wide industry, the competition helps as much as it hinders (one ends up publicizing and paving the way for the other). But in this case, we hear nothing about Triton, and nothing has been posted on their website since February of 2013. If one searches for building projects or purchase orders for the rare woods found in Lake Volta (the location of Triton's concession), one finds nothing. Very strange. Almost as though they are no longer in business. So Hollund may have this industry to themselves, except for the small one or two man or family owned operations that we hear so much about.
Of course, this all depends on Hollund building a TigerLynk. We know that obtaining a concession was their first step, eliminating the Class C share issue was the second, reducing the share structure is third and next on their list. Can they make lots of money with human divers? Of course they can. But, the world changes with the deployment of Hollund's first underwater tree harvesting system. Nothing compares with this system, and nothing may ever compare --- no competitor ever presented themselves to the CanadArm.
Some suggest a year or more will transpire before a TigerLynk is built. That could be true. But this thinking is based on Hollund producing enough revenue on their own to build the first system. What if well funded partners or investors stepped in? Might that speed the process? Lots of things to consider, and lots of ifs to be sure. Yet, there are all these trees worth so many billions. So just maybe one should consider, and invest a little while prices are still low.
