Vericel Corp. (VCEL)

"Why so little or no interest by investors in Vericel? "

First of all you can eliminate "no interest". The fact that you are here asking that question is proof that there is at least some interest.

There is "little interest" because it is a little company. Micro caps are usually defined as companies with market caps of $50M to $300M. That puts Vericel near the bottom of this group and this group is almost toatlly ignored by funds, institutional investors and average retail investors.

I got a good example this week. A friend is a very successful Morgan Stanley investment counselor. I happened to mention VCELL to him. He of course had never heard of the company. He then sent me some info he gathered. He explained that Morgan Stanley does not cover Vericel and consequently has no info. So he gave me reports from Morningstar, Reuters and Dorsey Wright. They were all dated Jan. 2017 yet NONE of these reports even included the fact that Vericel received FDA approval for MACE in December. Since the average investor depends upon outfits like this for info and advice, how much interest can they have if they get no info or incomplete info.

That's why the biggest money can be made by finding little companies like VCEL with BIG POTENTIAL and get in before these guys "discover" them and they create the "big interest". That's how you can make 5, 10, 20, 50 or more times your investment.

Of course that is also why it becomes up to the individual investor to do deep research on these little companies, choose very wisely, and stay on top of developments on almost a daily basis. Not many are willing to do this.
