If you read an analysts report for a company and they said there was 99% chance you would lose all of your "investment and a .05% chance it would be worth a lot more soon, would you invest? If I read an analysts report that said that I would have little reason to think it was true. But if I did think it was true I might invest. Depends on how much "a lot more" is. If its more than 2000x my initial investment/gamble than its worth the risk. (You might also adjust for the time value of money but unless it is a long term investment that won't be much.) Tim
