It's only prudent, all this is business after all. Breaking much lower in LCOS would be a reason for me to look elsewhere to place my money.
You know, I have been thinking about this as a general topic, not specific to QC, but now that I re-read this post, I would like to offer a comment or two.
I received AMTD (Ameritrade) shares on the IPO. I flipped them almost immediately cause Ameritrade was a POS to trade on. E-Trade was not much better. The one's that are key for daytrading, the AB Watleys, etc...have not fared quite so well.
This has bothered me for some time. Why would AMTD and the crap brokers do so well and the real decent setups not do so well?

Well, we have been purchasing some new electronic equipment and I have been doing some research on the net for what to get and so on. This stuff is confusing when you get into wanting a surround sound home theater system setup. Well there is a lot of good stuff out there in terms of telling you what to look for and what not to get.
I noticed that in the what not to get category is a lot of the stuff that is sold inexpensively (cheaply really...) at the Best Buys, Circuit Citys type places. Couple that with the fact that the sales people at these places usually know just enough to be dangerous and you are really putting one over on the general populous....but these stores continue to do well. I don't know how their stock does, but the stores are always busy as hell.
I guess what I am saying is the QC package is priced for the masses. What this means is that if and when it really takes off (and maybe the momentum is already there), LCOS should do well, even if they have a few outages here and there. A outage that affects you, will mean nothing to most people. QC is probably one of the first packages to bring real time streaming charts to the masses at a very affordable price and delivered without fancy technical stuff (dishes etc....). It might be wise not to base this decision on your experience, but instead on projecting what the outages would mean to the "moms and pops."
I guess what I am saying is in order to make a mint in the business world you need to attract the masses. In order to attract the masses you need a good price for a reasonable product. You don't need to be top end perfect, but just enough bells and whistles to "attrack the masses."
It is amazing what the masses settle for.....but they do.
