This is crazy, when shareholder buys products just to support his investment, not that he really likes the product. I was doing the same and I was wrong! I was buying Olifant on any occasion, refusing to try different brands, was naive enough to think I actually helped the company and as a result my investment. Eventually I lost everything and moved on. Now I drink beer and vodka I like.

BTW my choice of vodka is Ciroc and I don't have investment in DEO.

P.S. Now Cargo has to buy more Olifant to replace my donations to PK family ;)

Actually, I don't think I'll miss any real opportunities. Lots of companies, particularly OTC stocks run up on hype and if you're lucky, smart or unscrupulous enough you can certainly make money. But the real opportunities come when a stock begins to become profitable and positive cash flowing. And unfortunately, I don't see those ever happening with DKAM and even if they managed to pull off such a massive turnaround, I think their balance sheet would still result in little stock gain.

I'm not sure I understand the link between drinking Rheingold and investing in the stock. You would save the same money drinking Rheingold and have saved most of your DKAM investment had you not invested. If you're saying that you only buy Rheingold because you own the stock, then I would respectfully suggest it isn't going to make any difference to the stock price.

Among the many investment mistakes inexperienced investors make IMHO, one of the most common is buying a stock because they like the product, without regard to financial results.

I think Arvitar was pointing out (somewhat sarcastically) that since DKAM needs to use shares to fund inventory/expenses, the less beer they produce, the less dilution.
