It seems to me that WAVX is looking awfully like CLSR. Hype, alliances with respected Dow Industrial, almost no revenues, and collapse. So, although some here think a 50% decline is ndb, <<just be aware that you're only one announcement away from disaster>>.

One big annoucement does not make a company. That is the fallacy that is rampant in these business plan stocks. Sure, day traders can run a stock based on a press release or rumor of an impending press release. But, ultimately, they must build a business. That is why shorting these stocks is profitable, the one big press release gives us an opportunity to short at a high price, and then time is on our side as the company struggles to actually sell something. Eventually, those who jump in on the news will fade away as nothing real materializes.
