Another thought to share - Dilution Machines ...

Many stocks are dilution machines that may have the best light bulb but may be years away from market, etc.

So be cognoscente of what they are and that they typically are not a long-term hold.

Real easy to fall in love with these stocks because of their new product story which may have all the merit in the world as with NVCN.

The way to identify them is minimal Revenue or more easily from a long-term chart.
Here is a classic:

NVCN is around .40 and was as high as 10,120 accounting for reverse splits.

PTE kind of falls into that category and these stocks are usually pharmaceutical stocks that on average take 7 to 9 to go through trials and bring a product to market.
