"For the last ten years, my wife has wondered where all of our "extra" money has gone. Every year I buy more shares and fantasize that this is our year. Every year I have been disappointed. I still have yet to see confirmation of a price trend breakout. For now I will continue to nibble. It has been a long road, but I truly believe our time is near."
Sasdly, if I had a penny for every time I've seen that kind of post on message boards for stocks like this one, I'd have at least ten bucks by now.
It's the collateral damage to spouses, children, and other dependants and acquaintances who might have been able to put money sunk into go-nowhere, do-nothing stocks like FASC to good use elsewhere, which can be so distressing, especially knowing that the people "investing" in stocks like First American Scientific Corporation in many cases genuinely thought they were helping others.
And to some posters who encourage them knowing the real prognosis, then I say shame on you. Several times over.
