"especially if the big one hits"
The big question, when will the big one hit? We all assume it's coming and view our investment with that in mind. But if you own only 100,000 shares in KBLB, many can't realize enough profit to warrant selling at .17 when the downside is abandoning your position if the big one hits.
But if you own 1,000,000 shares, your core is enough to enable selling for 20% profit thus increasing your shares. IF the big one hits before pps falls again you'll still have the 20% profit plus the core at whatever the big one dictates. That's fine, that's investing, but don't expect every other investor to be happy with a low pps so you can continue to buy their shares.
This is the strategy used by some, but since new investment is practically non-existent, it simply lowers the pps back down after any news that might increase it. Great for some, not for most.
