"Really just where does all the optimism come from?"


IMO I think that much of what folks offer and/or accept as DD on some stocks reflect their "dream" of what they want to happen rather than what actually is happening. Nothing wrong with taking a flyer with the gambling money portion of a portfolio. Everyone plays the lottery occasionally. Few get rich as a result. Wild interpretations derived from routine (and often "newsless") PRs morph into "accepted truth" on stock forums and keep the "hope" alive for a sufficient number of people to keep the game going. Those that bought early are often the most vocal cheerleaders and will likely never give up since most of their financial damage has been incurred and what's left of their grub stake isn't worth retrieving against the remote possibility of a lightening strike. All IMHO. I hope for their sake that I'm wrong. Anything is possible at a casino.
