""When Byron takes half his salary, and buys retail shares (not new shares at a 65% discount to retail) at retail with half his annual salary, that will get my attention!!!! ""
That's just plain silly. 98% of pennies are formed from guys that got burned out, quit or fired and are funding their dream, hobby or scheme. So anyone that buys one of these is hoping that they quit to follow their dream and that dreams come true. A little simplistic, but none the less true. Your guy Byron might be John Galt or Bernie Madoff only time will tell. Just don't bet the rent in either case, me I'll pass, but watch because you never know.
