GERS has more problems than PEIX and otherwise winning their other patent claims.

Marketwatch shows GERS has 3.7 billion shares. Something happened in 2012 - as there were 16+ million in 2011. $1,000 will buy 2 million shares at $0.0005/shr. So somewhere between $50K and $100K were traded today and it went back down. See marketwatch/gers/financials

You might think that throwing a few hundred bucks at it is a lottery ticket, in case it goes to even a few cents, but there is a huge hill to climb. How many more shares will they have to issue in order to keep it afloat?

A few days ago I tried to communicate that a win for PEIX would be a win for GERS, if they have a substantive claim - which PEIX denies. But some emotional attachment to GERS keeps our little friend repeating the same tune, and wanting us to answer the patent claims on the board here.

I suppose he wants it to affect the PEIX share price, but as I say, it is really counter productive. The patent case is not a secret, so I am positive the market has factored that in long ago.

GLTA!

At the moment the answer is simple. GERS is still a bottomless pit. Maybe when it's more sure to make money on it, I will might invest in both.
By I'm investing to make money. I'm finding the chance to make money at PEIX more likely then the chance with investing in GERS. Sure, GERS has the potential to give huge return once there is no need for lawsuits any more. But so far, I only did see it move down. But to still have a chance on a huge return, I buy lottery tickets instead of GERS, they are cheaper when you look at it in terms of loss so far.
