RE:Unreasonable concerns???@rummager: "As for analysts... a company that has been around for several years with so many supposedly hot irons in the fire, led by a CEO with a fiancial background, and, no one from the financial community following??? It tempers my enthusiasm and holds me to just 3000 shares. Would gladly welcome considerate replies to the contrary outling why those concerns are unreasonable."
As strange as it might sound, I find I have far more luck with boards than with analysts. I was in no way troubled by the lack of analyst coverage here: for me, it simply meant more runway.
The rule I follow is simple: extraordinary companies generally attract extraordinary individual investors, people who will happily share their insights and expertise. I call them 'vulcans,' but I've heard them referred to as 'autists,' hyper-rational people who express high conviction, despite signalling a skeptical mindset otherwise. For me, that's always a powerful inducement to invest time in deeper research. That led me to conclude that Pascali wasn't being hyperbolic about parabolic growth. The man's the real deal--the kind of iconoclastic personality you see propelling many breakout companies, the kind that the establishment often squints at... in the beginning. No one has more skin in this venture than he.
