There are always exceptions to grand statements. E.g., I've a history of finding OTC pennies and troubled companies that have gone on to successs either through acquisition or moves to Nasdaq or AMEX. I was early in on AOL which was bashed to smithereens by a dedicated group of individuals, claiming it would never amount to anything, and, when it did, would not last because the generic internet would kill it. (Eventually, they were right but long after those of us in early captured our enormous gains. In my mind, it was killed as much by greedy insiders as by the lack of advance in the technology.) I can mention many others, early ones that come to mind ASKJ, CNET that survived and thrived through the internet bubble collapse. TVIN went from OTC BB at .20 to a respected company now about 20 x my original purchases. The jury is still out on HISC, as to its ultimate success or not, but I brought it to these boards at .0015 and have had close to a 100 bagger on sales of most of my shares.They had to stop the trial. The reason? The people who were getting the drugs to suppress their extra beats were keeling over dead with alarming frequency, at a much higher rate than control patients who were just getting placebo! So we suppressed their extra beats alright, but that only made things worse, not better!!
