I agree...hoping for a stock to make you money is a sure fire way to lose it... But thinking people are working hard in your best interest because of solid DD into a company and then seeing no results over a 12 month span... that tends to lead you down a path where you hope your time and effort was not all in vain.....
After all we are investing in a penny stock and in penny land sometimes all you have are hopes and wishes..because the line between legitimate and phony is paper thin down here.
