Yep, it is like the old PennyStock scams of the eightiess only on a much grander scale. Hopes and dreams and now profits. Funny thing is each decade is that it has there big blowups..The Eighties had the junkbonds..SnLs. etc.. Wonder if the net stocks become something we read about that mark the nineties. Time will tell. Meantime make sure you have a chair in case the music stops.

Ah - but you forget the option vesting strategies. Companies now a days do not hire employees - they make them into slaves towards a common cause with the ESOPs......and that goes from CEO to the janitor.... Does your company have an ESOP ? Unless it does, you will never understand how compellingly effective they are for employee/management/executive recruitment and retention ! And if your company DID have an ESOP plan, you could never make a statement like the following : " What do they care? They never intended to run a profitable business in the first place. "
