It's becoming clear that if these stocks survive the tough times you still have to wait abit longer to see it rise again hopefully. Why would I? I'm blue collar and lack the finance know how like some of you here. Big Canada banks are giving what 2-6% dividend. You can lock in 5% GIC for what 5 years? If I can manage to save money despite house mortgage payments having gone way up if you had to buy to renew food gas etc. You think people like me are looking at the Pyrogenesis of the worlds? No it's Coca Cola, BMO, Johnson and Johnson that are attractive. Years of stability, dividends, etc. the regular folks if they can play the markets, they want stability, certainty, comfort in these uncertain times.
Pyrogenesis failed to deliver on certain timelines, they have legal issues to deal with. Etc. I don't think it would really matter if they had no legal issues or if they would've converted in some of the guidances. They'd still be relatively small and unstable/unproven and a risky pick for today for most people who can't rub two pennies together.
Fair enough Paul.
The bulk of my money is in dividend growth stocks as well. I have a smaller portion for high growth, cash flow positive companies, and a very small part for story stocks. The latter is where I have lost the most
To each his/her/thier own
