Sunspotter,that is not a fair comparison. You can't compare FASC, a fledgling company trying to introduce game changing technology into the marketplace against an index. It just doesn't compare.
We all know that investing in penny stocks is a game of risk/reward as the majority of them fail. Besides some trying to flip in and out for small gains, the game as I play it is that you invest and you may have dead money for many years and lose it all or you hit a huge homerun. I am here in hopes of a huge homerun and I believe FASC is primed to get me there. I have other monies in limited-risk mutual funds and the like. Those you can compare to an index if you wish.
