GTCB is a near bankrupt penny stock that you offer up as a good investment. GTCG has lost about 70% of its value from the 52 week high, whereas SNMX has doubled its share prices for investors. You fault SNMX because you can't place a value on its potential revenue stream..but then you have no problem obviously placing a value on a penny stock that JUST can't seem to get those darn Europeans to buy into what they have submitted for their approval..whereas, SNMX got approval in a mere three months. But enough on GTCB, lets look at all four of the NON-mundane stocks that you state here on SI are your favorite stocks. Those being GTCB, PFE, DNDN, and TEVA. Let's look at TEVA and PFE and juxtapose these stocks against what you state is a red flag for your investment goals. Let me quote what you said.."In my experience, when people invest in a company because they think it is solving a major societal problem --as TexasDude admits to doing— that can be a red flag. " One of PFE's major drug is Norvasc. And Norvasc is used for controlling one's blood pressure...whereas you solve this societal issue by merely selecting a better diet. Now lets move to the PR released today by TEVA and the new drug approval that they just received...and guess what their drug is a generic for? Yep! None other than Norvasc. Do you see where I'm going with this DEW? You fault SNMX for the fact they could prevent a person for even having high blood pressure in the first place because they are solving a major societal problem that causes you to see red flags, whereas you have no problem investing in a company that has a drug that attempts to ameliorate a problem that they wouldn't even have if SNMX product does what it is attempting to do. How cynical can one person be? Why is it that you can promote drug companies that attempts to medicate a condition that could merely be solved by your self-proclaimed solution of better food selection? Why all those red flag aversions for a company that could prevent a condition in the first place, but no red flags for drug companies that attempt to solve a medical condition that could have been avoided in the first place? I tell you what DEW! Why don't you start a thread here on SI. Let me suggest a possible name for your thread...DEW DELIGIENCE's HOME FOR RED FLAG AVERSIONS Hypocrisy! or better yet..DEW DELIGIENCE the Vacilator: Who's farts don't stink and if you don't believe it just ask him.
