The S&P has averaged 14.5% annual return over the last 10 years, and at today’s price my overall NioCorp holdings have averaged a bit over 5% annual returns over the last 8 years. So yes, right now my Niocorp holdings would likely be well behind a financial investor average returns. To date the company has been a speculative OTC Jr Miner living private placement to private placement. Thankfully that has now changed and I am confident that NioCorp’s returns will far exceed the S&P returns through my holding period after funding and construction begins in earnest. I have a strong suspicion my NioCorp overall % will pass the S&P % long before the mine is in production, and will continue to outperform the S&P for the foreseeable future.
It may still take a couple of years, but NioCorp is headed for construction with a red-hot lineup of products, and the S&P is facing an economy that is likely headed for a recession.
I think I can see the last laugh on the horizon.
