Puppy, access to capital funding is the reason every single company listed on any exchange goes public, and that shouldn't come as a suprise to anyone. The goal of all these legitimate companies is to use the capital raised from shareholders to bring the company to a cash positive position, through company growth. If this goal is achieved early speculative shareholders will be rewarded greatly, or for more safty oriented shareholders that wait for this goal to be accomplished will pay a higher price for smaller rewards. Although it's still a gamble, I like my odds here!!!
