I'm still berating myself for not shorting IRID when one of the technicians I know suggested it as a great bargain. I did manage to talk him out of buying it, though.

The problem is that small investors are always thinking "another Chrysler!" when they see a stock in bankruptcy. In fact, very few investors actually look at the numbers when making an investment. By numbers, I mean growth rates, cash flow &c., not just stock price.

Barron's had a fascinating article on stocks that are available in both voting and non-voting form, and how the prices differ. I may look into arbitraging them in the future, though I guess everybody else is going to too. But I've gotten pretty good at handling low liquidity stock, so that may give me a little bit of an edge.
