<<a purchase of BOST is a gamble and not an investment>> ALL stox, businesses, and investments are a combination of risk/reward. Within lies the investors perception of FUTURE value based upon earnings stream, product sold, market conditions, etc. ANY and ALL investments have risk and are a gamble including BOST, all cos and even the bank and govt-backed bonds. I cite bank failures as presenting a POSSIBLE scenerio where the FDIC would be unable to meet its obligations under a scenerio where multiple major banks failed. So, diversify and own some hard commodity cos like gold, etc. All this said, I believe Bost is a decent risk or "gamble." By the time you buy, the risk may be less but the stock price will be more.
