There are all sorts of ways to "select stocks". Many times, using "Gut Instinct" can have the greatest rewards. Its the "game". If EVERYONE bought on just the fundamentals, then many small companies would never get off the ground. Look at your venture capitalists. They fund "ideas", and hope it brings fruit. In BB stock, I consider it one step up from a Venture Capital gamble. It looks from the "closely held" situation of the BAAT stock that many others are in the same position. To me to come into a BB stock and "look for fundamentals" is ludicrous. Most are flying by the seat of their pants. Some go in and out of them for that few cents uptick. But when you are dealing with BB stocks, you are betting without the fundamentals. Thats why Dans posts create such furror. Because people are already in on a "chance". Much more speculative than NASDAQ issues, etc. But most feel that the information they have, is enough at this point. In BB stocks, I feel that most are buying on the "dream" of the product. And most know the chance they are taking. For DAN to come in and point out each crack in the wall, every "doubt", is also ludicrous. It would be better served on NASDAQ stocks, or stocks that "should" have fundamentals. Do you see the difference.???? Dan posts on this BB stock because he can get so much mileage out of pointing out the negatives. BB stocks are loaded with negatives. Its like hunting in a childrens zoo. DUH!!!!! Its a psych game where the game can be played to its fullest, because the BB stocks ARE by nature, gambles on an idea. It would be like someone going to the ocean, and pointing out all the dangers, sharks, broken glass, hidden hypodermic needles, skin cancer. Well, eventually, you will drive many folks off. And if you point out the obvious dangers of even going outside, if you post it or say it enough times, you will scare some folks to staying in. Question is, what service did you provide.
