YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME !!! In a stock like ZIPZ, if you don't make money quickly, your investment is GONE! 100% GONE! To illustrate what would happen if you tried to invest long-term, please read my post #10,000!... Better yet, I'll just post the thing again here:
Check out the 5-year chart on pinksheets.com to see the extent of dilution by this company. Suppose someone was unfortunate enough to have invested at the peak price about thee and a half years ago. If that person had invested $60,000,000,000, their shares would have been RS down to a single share worth .0001 dollars today. To have shares today with a value sufficient to cover the $10 commission to sell those shares, they would have needed to invest $6,000,000,000,000,000. I had to google that number to see what it's even called. The number is six quadrillion dollars. To imagine how much money that is. Picture a bundle of a hundred $100 bills. Its worth $10,000 and fits in your pocket.
A hundred such bundles (worth $1,000,000) fits into a grocery bag:
A hundred million dollars will fit on a standard sized pallet:
A billion dollars will fill a one-car garage:
And a trillion dollars is much much more impressive (not shown).
Unfortunately I couldn't find a representation of six quadrillion dollars. But I found what 11 trillion dollars looks like (shown below). Six quadrillion dollars would be over 540 times larger than this pile (notice the littler person on the left). An investment the size of the pile shown below wouldn't be worth even close to enough to cover the cost to sell the shares. It would be worth less than 2-cents today.
