Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

JL - I understand your point of view: Amarin could become Coca Cola / Amazon.

But there is another side to it; for every one Coca Cola / Amazon, there are thousands of companies (with great ideas / products) that we don't hear about because they have failed.

Amarin checks all the boxes to become Amazon-like - great product, great management, great demand & world changing.

But like anything, this comes with risks: collapse of the world economy, competition, internal/external wrongdoing, etc.

To me, this boils down to risk/reward. Do I want a 100% certainty of getting $2 million or a 75% likelihood of getting $5 million, with a 25% risk of a collapse. Personally, $2 million would be such a life changing moment for me, I could forego the chance (even if with high likelihood) to see $5 million.

But I could totally see the opposing viewpoint. This is equivalent to folding in poker, if the pot odds are in your favor of calling, but you would risk losing too much of your money.

Bottomline: Pot odds say 'call' (GIA) but each player's personal situation may call for a BO.
