That's most of it, brother. Nothing is certain in business. You are correct in that regard.

You are also correct that the pieces aren't even yet in place to see if SEV's solution will achieve its perceived potential (YP said it best in message 6506).

That being said, keep in mind that this is a microcap. Most of the investing world is unaware of most microcaps.

That creates a major advantage to those who know how to properly handicap the odds of success and allocate capital to the most attractively priced situations. As a result, you don't need "hope". You just need to execute good investing principles over time.

If you do, the odds of failure via bad luck are astronomical.

In short, never make assumptions about how the world perceives a stock on the basis of its price or performance. The "world" isn't watching.
