Title: [Havelock Investments] - Havelock Mining Fund (HMF)
Post by: lightbox on June 11, 2012, 06:54:17 PM
Hi all, we have recently soft-launched http://www.havelockinvestments.com (http://www.havelockinvestments.com), with our first fund, the Havelock Investments Mining Fund. IPO on now.

IPO: 125 units
Units Remaining: 100 (as of writing this post)
Units issued after IPO finishes: 225
IPO Unit Price: 4.60BTC/unit
Dividend: 0.2BTC/month

No, we are not listing on GLBSE... we have other plans... so doing everything internally on the site for now.

Any questions let me know.

Cheers,
 James

Although the mining bonds are not in their best moments right now, a 4.34% interest rate per month seems a bit low, at least for me.

Is the IPO over? It isn't listed on the "Current And Upcoming IPO's" page.
Does that mean all 125 units have been bought up?

The original IPO has ended, but we launched a new (much smaller) one today. There are 40 of 50 units left from the current IPO, and it should be listed on the current/upcoming IPO page (checking... yup!)

We're expecting shipments of new equipment throughout the next few weeks, so we'll slowly be releasing new public offerings as soon as the equipment is ready immediately available to be purchased by the fund.

There's also other big news coming soon (in the next day or two!)... stay tuned!

This differs from a bond type offering...

we are not paying out 100% of the revenue (or even 90%).. we are aiming to pay out approximately 50% of the revenue, and use the other 50% towards reinvestment in the fund itself.  So by simply owning units of the fund, you take advantage of us managing the equipment AND using some of the revenue generated to buy MORE equipment, without having to dilute the fund by issuing more units.  By doing this we hope to counter the affects of rising difficulty, so we can keep our dividend consistently high.

Cheers

Interesting. Good luck.

4 percent per month is a bit lacking when Patrick offers the same with better terms.

Actually, at current prices it's four times less, about 13% annual yield. On the other hand, it's three times more than what I can get from my bank. To me this the sweet spot of the risk/return ratio.  It is based in a real-world operation with a specific business plan, financial reports, and references from a well-established and reputable business partner (cavirtex).

Sorry for not keeping a good watch on this forum thread, we have, indeed, been focusing on actually running the mining operation and maximizing profits :)

I was coming here to post that the public offering today has just under half the units remaining, but you beat me to it, thanks!

We have also just released our September Financial Statements, as well as Quarterly Q3 Statements

We have also posted an update regarding our move to ASICs

Thanks for your interest in Havelock Investments!

Cheers,

In case anyone missed it: ASICs are late, the block reward has halved, and so did the dividend for December... Perfect time for buying cheap units from panic sellers.
All this makes me wonder: what is a reasonable annual yield on an investment of this kind? They have a proven track record, business references, contact information, monthly reports, etc. Are bitcoin would-be investors spoiled? Or is 9% or 13% APY really bad for a low-risk, but still risky investment?

The way I see it - HIM has been managed well for a while now, and is likely to stay ahead of the curve. The uncertainties related to ASIC suppliers are pretty much the same for all miners, except ASICMINER to some extent.

Our dividend will be approximately 50% of total mining revenue, with the other half going towards expenses and reinvestment in new hardware. The eventual goal is to increase the dividend over time.

I can't seem to find it written down anywhere. Can someone clarify how the other 50% is divided up?

obviously expenses and reinvestment  :P  but i'm trying to get a handle on 'expenses' that can be a rather broad term. Does the fund take a fixed % for this each month and is this the 'management fee' as included in the financial spreadsheet?  (last month 05 seems to be approximately 10% management fee) 

thanks

See here: https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=HIM#ui-tabs-6 (https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=HIM#ui-tabs-6)

The management fees seem to have a wide variance month to month, and there have been a few months where the fund has operated as a loss, but pushed out a dividend anyway (May's income was -BTC236! due to blade purchases).

Truthfully, given all the screaming people have been doing about AM blades and ROI, I'm very curious to see what this fund is going to look like in a few months.

Post by: Choadzilla on July 04, 2013, 09:58:34 AM
The purchase of the AM blades were just to tide people over until BFL shipped. Even though May had a negative income whence factoring in cost of blades, that money came out of the amassed reinvestment fund.  50% of mining revenue is always paid out as dividend. :)

Hi, here's we have ordered:

26 SC Singles - BFL.  These are in addition to the 2 units already received and the 2 units that we expect to be received next week.  So we'll have 30 SC Single Units by the time all is said and done.
2 Jupiters - KNC.

We have found the best way to hedge our orders is to go through multiple vendors to spread the risk.  Our plans are to continue adding hashing power to grow the fund.  We'll have more details in the next few months as well.

Have you thought about branching out to other companies as well? HashFast, Cointerra, Xcrowd, Fast-Hash?
Might be good to get in on some of these too, Just a thought :)

Do you have anything else on order? as whats on order only equates to 1gh/s at a cost of 2.15BTC, I'm a little concerned that your ~$950,000 USD mining fund only has 3TH overall....

Dave, I've been invested in your HIM fund since May. I sensed you were an ethical and insightful businessman (rare combo). Your performance to date proves that out. I actually didn't anticipate the two Jupiter mining rigs. Good move.

Do you have more tricks up your sleeve that have been brewing for a while?

I own a few shares in this thing, trapped at around 6x the current price.

So we can say that this fund, is not in any way, connected to the price discover mechanisms, of BTC.  Or not?

I have suggested, as a former stockbroker, that you CAN, advertise your fund, as being better.  That's why TV shows us commercials of funds, using FRN-denom-electro-fraction-money-quatloos, and these funds, do gain value, in terms of that "money"

So, though my BTC investment SHOULD be making money, i.e. BTC, from the "market", it is instead, a dead dog, which sits like its been beaten with a stick.

Welp, glad to see the mining and micro dividends are going well, but I can't wait until this thing floats back to the surface, because I don't see anybody paddling.  Havelock has a good reputation, no complaints there, thanks for being at least as good as your broker-peers in the real world.  But those brokers in TRW do promote their funds, finding value, and increasing share price.  Please do work on that part of your operation.  Thanks.

Also, for prospective investors, when do you expect anything other than a nosedive for this fund?  Can we brainstorm a way to value-add to this thing?  I want it back at its old valuation, since interest in BTC is spiking.

Post by: JekyllIsland on November 15, 2013, 06:36:27 AM
I really regret buying this fund atm. I've lost bitcoins due to the rise in price. I can't foresee the dividends being able to return the amount Ive lost in BTC, even in a year. I knew it was a risky investment from the start so I'm not too worried. Does anyone think the price of this fund  will ever go up enough for investing into it to be worth it?


I feel like selling the funds back for bitcoin is the best course of action, anyone have a differing view? I know I technically didn't lose any money, in fact i've actually made a slight amount. Although holding bitcoins would have earned me more. Not to mention i can actually spend those coins...

Stocks need to be promoted, in order to rise in price.  They do not promote their stock, so, it is getting bludgeoned to death.

It is one thing to set up your little BTC mining rig, oh wow, good job! It is another to allow the fund to be hammered by shorts and robo-traders.  Amateur hour, all the way.

It is a good fund in terms of the guy who runs it being apparently forthright and honest, but that is not what makes a stock do well; You need promotion and buying.

I see no buying, no professional discussion of BTC mining stocks at all, anywhere in the world.  So, the whole sector is basically a joke, and a playground for robotrading, which means: it will be shorted into infinity if the owners do not promote it, imo.

How much per share is that bowl of crap called Google?  How about that maggot ridden corpse called Facebook?

Come on people, this fund should be valued at a way higher level.

You know google and facebook will fuck the Earth over, but havelock seems to be a group with some integrity, at least enough to survive the first bitcoin market purges, right?

So buy this fund until it bleeds gold, says I.


Title: Re: Havelock Investments Mining Fund
Post by: riceberry on November 24, 2013, 12:43:47 PM
The dividend is pretty high if your buying these shares at these all time low prices, and at a price of 0.05, right now it's 0.03, 5 btc would get you at the current next month dividend(0.001) of 0.1 btc per month , and a yearly return of 24%, when the dividends are higher than 0.001, then the return would be even higher.

When the price of btc goes up, people feel more comfortable holding coins...As long as the fund continues to reinvest and be at the front of new equipment, I think they will be able to keep the consistant dividend, and possibly increase over time.

As the price of btc becomes 1000, a share price of 0.05 even becomes relatively expensive in terms of fiat which people are psychologically adapted to thinking, it is harder for new people to go into shares if they didn't have 1000$ to risk just to get 1 bitcoin, people spend 200$ to get 0.3 btc, so they would be less likely to buy shares if they can only have 6 shares (and that's at an all time low price), while having to trust that the fund will continue operating as planned.

If havelock maintains what they have been doing, or maybe use some of the funding from HIF to get even more equipment... :P

Maybe a share split by another factor of 10, would make the prices more managable for people getting into btc now at such higher prices. Right now 0.03 would be 0.003, and perhaps this would be advantageous, instead of someone with only 0.3 bitcoins being able to get 6 shares, they could get up to 60, which I think appears better mentally, while providing the same return per month

I don't think the last two posters understand what this security is about.
It's a mining fund, so the dividends are likely to be high at times then slowly decrease, at least until a new hardware investment cycle. There is nothing wrong with that, but you have to understand the influence it will have on dividends and share prices.
With mining funds, the price of bitcoins has very little influence. Difficulty does, but prices getting higher do not diminish the fund revenue, and actually make it able to buy more mining equipment with its funds.

Looking at the financials (quarterly), this thing has been in the red for the  entirety of 2013.
q1 (-฿126.1515)
q2 (-฿233.8544)
q3 (-฿158.4161)

That's something to understand.  A mining fund paying *more* in dividends than it makes mining.
This month shows a 14 BTC profit, last month was ~123 BTC loss.  Next month will be a loss (difficulty rise, no new equipment coming online that i can see).

Now, bothering to open a pdf & looking at the most recent (Sept) breakdown:

Assets: 50 BTC in coins & 480 BTC in mining gear, total of 530 BTC.

What's the 480 BTC worth of mining gear?  Well, it's 24 BFL singles, lolz.  Allowing a generous $3000/per, and using today's exchange rate, the value is 86 BTC, *not* 480 BTC.  Yes, exchange rate *does* factor heavily in mining bond-things.
*If there are more detailed books, where basics like equipment depreciation are accounted, i'd love to look at them.

And this is just the most cursory glance at the financials, a quickie.  I may have made a pile of errors here, so please don't use this as anything but an invitation to check for yourself.  If i was risking my coins, i'd use something better than ~ and sloppy "top of my head" math.

Again, if you see errors and missing data (both likely), i welcome you to point me to both.

Nice analysis, I am saying its a buy at these prices, simply due to the fact that Havelock seems to have survived the first BTC market purges okay, so lightbox must be a straight shooter, like Steve Jobs.

So, I see this fund at .3 BTC per share within 3 months.  Also, I send incense up to the Goddess with that prayer.  It's a fucking deal at these prices!  Get it cheap!


Title: Re: [Havelock Investments] - Havelock Mining Fund (HMF)
Post by: itsunderstood on November 30, 2013, 05:41:51 PM
Correct me if I am wrong, but the analysis above says that lightbox is putting + money into the mining gear.  Which is an okay thing in terms of long term investment.

So, I am serious when I fly the flag for this fund.  Because, in the long term, setting a consistent pace, is important.

So, I just got my dividend on my shares, and it comes to $30 per month, essentially, in terms of BTC price at this moment.

But, that .025 BTC dividend, accrues.  Therefore, the same dividend from this month, that 30 USD of BTC, can be transformed into 300 USD of BTC, if BTC goes to 10,000 USD per BTC.

In terms of how high BTC can go in terms of USD, it's more like this:  What could possibly ever KEEP the USD tethered to BTC??  Soon, it will be a million USD to buy one BTC, but what does that mean in a totally rigged market?  In that future moment, did BTC fly high or did the USD, drop Weimarishly to the depths of value?  Did firewood scale upward so drastically during Weimar inflation?  Did trees suddenly become less available?  Why did it cost millions of marks, to buy butter?

So, I will be buying more shares at these prices, because HMF provides a solid long term nest egg type mattress, and I do believe in the integrity of those behind it, if for no other reason than they survived this long.

ALSO, if lightbox decides to sell the HMF mining consortium, I am sure he will give his HMF shareholders a book+ valuation hopefully, when the sale goes down.  They'd probably be buying the whole brand, but that's okay, so selling out in terms of rewarding shareholders, might be a nice move for HMF.  I am holding and looking forward to next months dividend.

I'll help you with your long-term picture.
This "fund" has been bleeding money all year long, with heavy losses in every quarter.  The money you get in dividends isn't "profit."  The value of your shares, *and the underlying asset -- the actual mining gear*, drops more than you get back in dividends.  That's called "LOSS," regardless of whether you use dollars or doughnuts as your units of account.
If a mine was worth X BTC last week, and the difficulty doubled, it's now worth only *half as much*, X/2.  If, in that time span, you have mined less then X/2 BTC, you have lost money.  This has been the case throughout the year.

To add to your losses, power cost & management fees are deducted from the mining income.
Showing quarterly losses is not sustainable, it's eating through the funds originally invested into this "fund" by people like you.  When that money is gone, it will no longer be possible to simply put a negative sign in the net income column if you mine less then you spend.  The coin will have to come from somewhere.  
The endgame, which is already in progress, is unattractive to most investors.
That's why the share price is tanking.

To add to your losses, power cost & management fees are deducted from the mining income.
Showing quarterly losses is not sustainable, it's eating through the funds originally invested into this "fund" by people like you.  When that money is gone, it will no longer be possible to simply put a negative sign in the net income column if you mine less then you spend.  The coin will have to come from somewhere.  
The endgame, which is already in progress, is unattractive to most investors.
That's why the share price is tanking.

Haha, "helping" is what you are kinda doing.  Haha.

No, you make too many assumptions above.  I watch those "Car Buying and Selling" shows on TV all the time.

I used to be a stockbroker, I know how shiny things can be made.  Yes, you seem to have some analysis skills.  However, the fund could do an x10 reverse split and go on the offense for publicity, and change things.

Apple, is a shit brand, but their stock price is meaningful for some.  Does fascism sell well?  WE are witnessing it right before our eyes.  But yes, there are many opinions here.  May you become rich.

Apple, has a valid company, due to the # of slaves it has.

That is a fact.

Slaves come from where?

I am not disappointed to hold HMF, also, I predict a valuation of 1000 USD per share before ...long.

I just decided that being close to those assholes involved in stocks, to be like being near toxic waste.  I am glad for my choice.  But, how the hell do you even know what State I am in?  Ha!

I think you mean, China, not Vagina.

Apple slaves come from China.  Do you know anything useful?  Or are you just a hack?

Hello HMF unitholders,

We were able to take advantage of the sale at BFL last week and we've added 5 BFL Singles (250 GH/s total) to the HMF fund.  They were received today are now up and running, bringing our total hashing power to 3 TH/s.

Happy Mining,

Is there a description somewhere of what's included in the 15% management fee?

Also, I assume the fund manager holds a controlling interest in the issued and outstanding shares, hence the apparent lack of voting on the decisions announced on the fund's Havelock page. Anyone have confirmation of that?

Havent had any issues and payments have been steady.  AMHash fund is currently stopped during the Chinese New Year celebration.  This is one of the more trusted sites

well since the site is online for quite a while now and i think or rather hope it stays so, i have to spend the satoshies i got from amhash investment dividends somewhere :P how would you think  ??? is it worth investing into this old fund or it has no future? at first i thought maybe invest in those [Havelock] Bitcoin Difficulty Derivative (BDD) stuff but it seems a little bit tricky cause to my understanding you have to constantly trade to make roi and to understand the situation better than others who you expect to make worse decisions and lose a part of their investment for your gain or smth
well, anyway, please tell your opionion about this fund if you feel like it. i saw it paid recently, just after havelock returned..

Is anyone else having problems withdrawing from Havelock? It's the second time I'm trying to process a withdrawal and over 2.5 hours later it's still showing under the pending transactions.
Surely BTC transactions don't take this long...

I've used Havelock since the beginning and over time I've spread my investments across multiple stocks. The one which to date seems to be most stable, credible and durable is B.MINE. With difficulty having massively slowed down in recent months, this is more than ever a decent investment.

Wherever you decide to invest, my advice is to spend quality time reading very well all of the Ts & Cs, understanding exactly what these companies provide. My experience told me that even the most credible business plans can easily go belly up in no time.

Overall, as per all Bitcoin based investments, I still wouldn'tt recommend investing anything you can't afford to loose. All of these investments remain high risk as noone can really predict what the future holds.

What worries me the most at the moment is the fact that I'm unable to withdraw anything from Havelock and hoping to hear from anybody who's going through a similar situation.
