Humboldt Capital Corporation (TSX VENTURE:HMB)
Humboldt is pleased to report continued growth for the first quarter of 2011. At
the quarter end, shareholders' equity had increased to $62.8 million or
$5.04/share, fully diluted, compared with $47.3 million or $3.86/share reported
in Q1 2010.
Humboldt closed the quarter with $7.5 million of working capital, equivalent to
12% of its asset value.
At the time of writing, the market is going through a normal early spring
corrective phase with continued debt issues in Europe increasing general
concern. In addition, China may be entering a slower growth phase, which
negatively impacts the outlook for commodity prices.
However, the overall trend for economic growth is intact, with a steadily
improving outlook virtually worldwide. Prevailing low interest rates, policies
promoting economic stimulus, as well as improving confidence in key economic
jurisdictions should lead to continued economic growth. Economic policies in the
United States should also be relatively accommodative due to 2011 being a key,
pre- election year.
