dh_ with the perfect sentiment, as usual. I too kept buying even with all the red flags, and I ALMOST sold it all when they pump faked the dilution at .10. I actually had a sell order in for over half of my position that I'm so thankful never got filled. When management abruptly decided to take a different route, when they obviously could have used the money, was when they won me over for good. That's when they actually went long on themselves.
It's easy to forget how newer investors feel now as some of us are sitting pretty. The Pink Sheets is an unruly ghetto from which most never escape, even some that are quite deserving. I myself got pretty rattled when it was clear we weren't going to just rocket out of here in the spring like the previous trends suggested. It's that hard, and it really stings to miss a chance like that. Some stocks really do only get one shot.
I've tried to empathize, while also putting my money where my mouth is during our recent volatility.
IQST is absolutely still a buy anywhere under 2$. For all the reasons you've mentioned. For the value investor, the growth investor, the flipper, the castle-builders, for the level-headed, and for the dreamers...even the damned bears are getting fat off this one.
Everyone will continue to be fed, you just have to keep your seat at the table.
