RE:Serious questionI hope you have learned from this experience not to be a blind follower again. Look at the financials and understand what they are saying. Companies with no customers (Bad), companies with no net income (Bad), companies that have constantly changing directors (Bad), companies making outrageous marketing claims about being market leaders etc (Very bad). Learn from it and move on and don't forget to take friendly advice when it is offered - even when you don't like it.
