This is worth less than 50 cents. Next BITCF imo

1. CEO Sells Company Stock

The person who knows the company best, CEO/President Robert Ladd, just dumped 100,000 shares, grabbing a $270,000 windfall:

Time to get out of MGT at these high prices? Well, the leader at the top sure seems to be sending a strong signal…

*2. Leadership Turmoil

President Ladd reassumed his role as CEO just two weeks ago, thus displacing iconic oddball John McAfee, who resigned as CEO and Chairman for personal reasons.

Under the reorganization, Mr. McAfee is - we are not making this up - the Chief Cybersecurity Visionary.

Naturally, controversy moved in with the anti-virus software developer when he stepped in as CEO back in May 2016.

MGT voted to change the company name to John McAfee Global Technologies four months later … sending the stock flying 85% to 66 cents. But he and Intel got into a tussle over the use of Mr. McAfee’s name. In June 2017, they settled and MGT got the use of his name within specifications. However, the company agreed not to use the name in trademarks, logos or business names.

That dispute was nothing for 71-year-old McAfee. He has been a 2016 presidential candidate, an SEC subpoena subject, an outrageous online celebrity,

and fleeing on-again, off-again suspect in a bizarre murder case in Belize.

Regardless… one might assume MGT is in cybersecurity since Mr. McAfee is now the Chief Cybersecurity Visionary, right?

*3. Indecisive, Uncertain Business

Well, assume nothing with MGT or Mr. McAfee.

The company can’t seem to decide what business it wants to be in.

One month the company is into fantasy sports. Later it's social casinos. Then it's mobile gaming and bitcoin mining the next moment.

MGT's indecisiveness dates way back. Here’s the SEC list of former company names:

(Source: Company SEC filing)

Here’s what MGT’s annual report claims as the focus mere months ago, prior to the recent bitcoin hype:

Strategy



MGT and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and monetizing assets in the online and mobile gaming space, as well as the casino industry. The Company’s acquisition strategy is designed to obtain control of assets with a focus on risk mitigation coupled with large potential upside. We plan to build our portfolio by seeking out large social and real money gaming opportunities via extensive research and analysis. Next, we will attempt to secure controlling interests for modest cash and/or stock outlays. MGT then budgets and funds operating costs to develop business operations and tries to motivate sellers with equity upside. While the ultimate objective is to operate businesses for free cash flow, there may be opportunities where we sell or otherwise monetize certain assets.

Has MGT finally decided what business it wants to enter?

*4. Terrible Financials

On Aug. 25, the company announced a purchase order for 1,000 mining computers that are supposed to generate a million bucks a month.

It would be impossible for MGT to take on this purchase order because it reports just $323,000 in cash as of June 30, as it burns through $2.15 million in two quarters. Six-month losses hit $-10 million or -31 cents per share.

Here is a snapshot of this highly unprofitable company:

*5. Going Concern Warning

MGT’s required warning statement discloses that it has “incurred significant operating losses since inception and continues to generate losses from operations…”

Accumulated loses have risen to $338,593.

“These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”

*6. Struggling Investor

So it's no surprise that MGT had to take on a risky financial arrangement to fund the purchase order.

This is a $2.4 million financing deal, with 10% convertible note at $1.05 per share, plus 862,000 warrants with an exercise price of $1.05.

This is a dangerous deal for today’s investors who may well face dilution when the note converts and warrants are exercised.

And it’s dangerous for the investor, UAHC Ventures … which trades Over-The-Counter for pennies.

(Source: Yahoo)

The company is not really much better than MGT. Liabilities of $19.4 million are more than double the assets and the loss per share over 12 months hit -12 cents.

*7. Institutions: No Thanks

The finances, warnings and lack of business prospects don’t seem to impress the institutions. No endowment funds, mutual funds or commercial banks own stock in MGT:

*8. Crazy Ratios

Yet, while the current S&P 500 P/S ratio is 2.09, this is a company with a preposterous price-to-sales ratio of 132.

Other out-of-whack metrics also point to MGT’s messed up valuation.

(Source: Yahoo, Investopedia, TheStreetSweeper)

Any Price-to-Book (P/B) value of 1.0 and sometimes up to 3.0 is considered good, indicating a potentially undervalued stock … so a good investment. A P/B of 860 is massively high.

The Return on Equity (ROE) measures a company’s profitability. It shows how much profit a company generates with money invested by stockholders. A negative is terrible and a minus 1,251 is outrageous.

It's a bullshit hit piece. Clearly 100% subjective analysis with a negative opinion. Just look at the adjectives and nouns used to describe McAfee and Ladd. Clearly not written by an objective professional financial journalist with a vocabulary of over 100 words.

Makes me want to buy more.

I haven't figured out why yet but there is an incredible force of opposition directed towards anything that John McAfee does. The forces are obviously well organized, coordinated, and funded.

The guy is the original "Gonzo Geek" but look at what Hunter S. Thompson did for Gonzo Journalism.

McAfee is way ahead of the curve in many areas hence the word "Visionary" in his title. If you're familiar with his humor and sense of irony you'll see the "tongue-in-cheek" behind the usage of the word. In short, McAfee doesn't give a shit what anyone thinks of him or his ideas. When he locks in on something (Computer Anti-Virus Software) he puts laser focus on it and succeeds.

He saw the Bitcoin/Blockchain thing coming and pounced on it and now we are the beneficiaries.

Nuff Said!! ;-)

"Meanwhile, we’re expecting a speedy reversal to 55 cents per share for MGT, which would still be awfully generous. "

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
