Yahoo message board for BSDM is interesting. A battle of posts between longs and shorts.

One problem with a stock like this is when you have shorts with a memory of doing well by shorting the stock, they stick around. They post about how poorly the stock has done for longs, and the past dilutions, etc. Of course they are predicting more dilution. The longs are enthusiastic for the company turning the corner very soon on profitability. This indicates the price will be volatile for the time being.

I'm in for 0.5% of the portfolio. It is a stock with a good story. I may add to that as some dividends come in, but probably not go over 1.0%. I have learned not to make big bets on story stocks. Every now and then I check in on how STAA is doing, which was and is a medical story stock for a long time that I exited after a few years of it being moribund (it still is). A good story, but never went anywhere. Best to spread small bets on a few and every now and then one pops up in price and rewards you more than enough to make up for the losers and laggards.
