Greenshift Corporation (GERS)

[Dutch1]

Since I'm not a day'trader, I'll ignore the liklihood that either stock will rise 10% in a day

You are that part of my post that was about daytraders, by saying you aren't in for daytrading. However you seem to ignore that before that I I compared PEIX and GERS for the longs.

A year ago PEIX was worth $3 and now $1

A year ago GERS was worth about the same as today.

But even if you look at the shorter term, you must notice that GERS hovers around the same price, where PEIX has been dropping.

You compare PEIX and GERS by their forward PE/ratio, but you admit there are no numbers available to do so?

It sounds to me like a very strange thing to compare two totally different stocks on things you don't know and then tell what the best investment is. And don't even look at the FACTS that are available, like share price developments of the past year.

Either one should compare then on what there is to compare them, or don't compare them. Everything else is just bullshit. And invest in what you prefer to invest. But acting like you can invest based on comparing numbers you don't know is just ridiculous.

PEIX is a nasdaq ethanol and corn oil producing company that has been missing there targets and the consensus for over a year. Dropped from $3 to $1. If they drop any further they are probably required to perform a reverse split.

GERS is a OTC pennystock company that owns some patents for systems that help producing corn oil and other stuff. We don't know how they are doing but we know they are in a major lawsuit against companies like PEIX that seem to be infringing their patents. I they win the case, they will get millions, if they lose they might be bankrupt.
Their share price was around 8 cents a year ago, and still is now.

PEIX is an investment that probably will not make you rich very soon, because they have been dropping mostly and will probably not move up enough to really make a lot out of each dollar. At the very highest, if you are extremely lucky, you can get 10 times your money in a year if ethanol will boom again and PEIX would too. The worst that can happen is bad numbers and in a year you would at the most have around 25% of your investment left.

GERS is an investment that could either collaps leaving you with nothing or if they win the lawsuit could move up way over $1 probably somewhere above $2. But if you get extremely lucky your return will be over 50 times what you have invested. That could make you a lot richer, depending on how much you got invested.

Yes, GERS is more some kind of lottery ticket. It might be a fifty fifty shot at the worst. But I'm thinking more 80% that GERS wins, and 20% that they don't. But that is a matter of opinion.

PEIX isn't a lottery ticket, but the chance is IMO 70% that you will lose some of your investment, compared to 30% that you win some.
Most likely you would lose about 40% of your investment if they don't perform well and win 50% if they do well.

For GERS it is most likely that you earn a over a 1000% within the year or lose all.

Place your bets anywhere you like. But placing them by comparing them on a Forward PE/ratio is just laughable.
