So, if a new co. has cutting edge patents in an arena (cell tech) that pretty much is considered the future face of medicine...and it is a sub-penny start-up, investors stay away until the traders play is finished and it is now $2.50 a share.
Ever hear of 'core' investing? where an investor "invests" in a promising company, buying gobs of shares while it is a start-up and keeping only a core of shares as a base for future profits expected as a result of DD and knowing a good thing when they see it...although selling and buying non-core shares repeatedly as penny stocks fluctuate dramatically over the period of time it takes for the company to "make it"?
