Lawrence,
<<How about -
a) high debt
b) negative cash flow
c) recurring losses
>>

As disturbing as all those are, I can live with them in a speculative stock;

<< d) extremely optimistic earnings forecasts

and most disturbingly
e) repeatedly promises more than they deliver>>

d and e have really bothered me along with the usual yield question. Frankly optimistic earning forecasts, failure to deliver on promises and yields are probably all the same issue.
Maybe, God willing, GMR will fall flat on its face. Technological discovery of more methods to push the limits of the magnetic effect will cease and we will need to stuff our desktops with 10 platter 40 head hot running high margin monsters that dim the lights when you boot up. <dripping sarcasm>


Tired of being pessimistic,

Yogi
