There’s a thread on it and the story is still pretty much the same. Just treading through the whole “time” aspect of the story. Q3 we should really start seeing some fun stuff. But elevator pitch is simple. You’ve got enough water to support a few good sized cities. $1.8b in “eventual” dollars. And the Sky Ranch project currently in phase 2 which should generate cash in excess of the current market cap over the next 5-7 years or so. As the homes get built the recurring revenue from water services grows. Oh yea, it’s all happening in one of the fastest growing MSAs which also happens to be facing a water shortage; Denver. Basically a JOE Jr.

Yup. Harding is excellent as well. Candid and trustworthy, although a tad timid with the cash. But overall, an inflation proof company with hard assets that an idiot could buy and hold, and blindly buy the dip on at these levels and long term make out alright. Not the worst thing given the overall market uncertainty.

Nah Mark is super conservative. Been at the company for decades and has a lot of his net worth tied up in it. The track record is excellent. Total home run and definition of opportunistic. Look at what they paid for the 900 acres.
 

But otherwise you’d have trouble finding further evidence bc they haven’t done much else. But I do think a buyback is becoming increasingly likely. The board has been reshaped over the years and is definitely shareholder oriented. 

 

But you hit the nail on the head. You can’t destroy the company and don’t need to do much to justify $250m EV.

Was it $7 million?

Sounded on the most recent call that a buyback is not in the cards this year.  "I can't have my cake and eat it too just yet."  They are negotiating with land owners for potential M&A and they seem to really like to manage their cash carefully despite having visibility to at least $16m of reimbursements coming back in the near term.  At least they were willing to finance 100% of the construction costs of the rental homes by rolling their finished lots into the equity portion (and instantly making 200k per home that doesn't show up in the financials).

 

I like that Mark is very honest on the calls.  Not overly promotional, not defensive, just answers each question with the truth.  And 18 months out you have some really nice commercial developments anchored by a likely "super center with gas" type of grocery tenant.

Had the propane tank filled at the cabin, was gonna try and hold off but with recent cold snap decided to just fill it rather than play the game over the next couple weeks. 

 

Paid $2.62/gal

Thats a 36% increase from last years 1.93 at this time..

And over double from the $1.30/gal I paid in 2020.

 

500 gal tank
