I've always said that BCON is between a rock and a hard place regarding financing, and that it is not, at all, unusual to have to resort to rather dubious factions for that money. I just don't like it.
I think you've got me wrong regarding my thoughts on BCON. I believe they really have a product that will, eventually, make them a good, strong company. It may take many years, however, to see this come true. They just posted good news this morning, so it may be sooner than I think.
I've traded in-and-out of BCON for just over six years. Although I don't have an exact figure of my gains (and I'm not about to waste my time doing so), I'm net positive on my money.
I'm a realist, unlike many of the pumpers here. I'm currently long, and have never shorted BCON.
