Food Innovation

[gfp927z]

I remember several years ago Dew was following a food related microcap called AquaBounty (AQB). They had developed a genetically modified / enhanced type of salmon, which seemed like a good idea, though I pointed out that being 'GMO' was not going to be a plus among the trendy health oriented consumers. Not sure exactly what's happened with the company (stock is way down), but I figure these 'cool science' type stocks are best kept within the fun-hobby category, with strict position limits. I know from past experience what it's like to get overly attached to microcaps. Most of the ones I followed ultimately bombed out, several went bankrupt, etc.
