Flaflyersfan - Yes, demand for a stock plays a very important role in determining the share price, this is easily calculated when we have financials, in corelation with the P/E ratio (on big-board stocks) and it is somewhat unfortunate that we don't have financials, but that is the nature of the beast; every penny stock is risky in that way, and every penny stock is only traded on speculation, most often following a PR...
But where Winning Brands differs I believe is that it appears to not follow, as strictly, the fluxations in volume due to PR's that other pink sheet companies do, and I believe this is because of the unusually large investor base who is willing to stand behind the company. If we didn't have this base I think we would have seen the share price in .0000's by now, which wouldn't be completely bad because we would see more volatility in the stock and therefore probably more people trading it around PR days - it would behave more like a typical penny stock - but I still prefer a large investor base.
and maybe some of us are a little over-extended, but investments in general are risky propositions, as the recent 5,000 point drop in the dow has surely proven that nothing is a sure thing in the world of investment. I agree, people should never invest money that they can not afford to lose, and I never have, even though I have a rather large sum invested now - I am confident in my investment. I hope to retain a sizable portion of shares in this company indefinitely.
and maybe it's just personal history, but if I had bought more shares of this before it ran up the last time, and I had ample resources to (just low on faith) I would now be a wealthy man. I just don't want people to give into the psychology of 'not buying a losing stock' because that is all they can see at the moment. It's a very old axiom that you should "buy when everyone is selling and sell when everyone is buying," - old by I still think relevant today...
and your right, anyone who wants to get out of this is going to have to be very vigilant and sell at precisely the right moment, as this next run-up will probably not sustain itself. But I am sure their will be many more run-ups and increases in pps in the comming years.
