And watch out for longs-turned-pumpers who blame fudsters, patterns, market makers, the SEC and basically everything under the sun except for the company. Every stock has a true value--that value might be zero or it might be a lot. It would be extremely hard to "manipulate" a stock down 98%. How often do you see an asset which fluctuates by a factor of 50 based on someone talking it up or down??

The reason there is any fear, uncertainty or doubt is because a company refuses to give a clear picture of what's actually going on. The company has determined it's better to stay intentionally vague and suggestive about it's value proposition than it is to tell the truth and remove all doubt that it's worthless. That makes for high amounts of speculation on the boards. If you find your investing 'edge' is faith, hope and patience, you're out of luck.

After over five years, JBI has all the information it needs to determine the value of the process. They know exactly what they feed into the processor and they know exactly what comes out. The reason they don't share that wonderful information with the shareholders and watch the stock skyrocket is because that information shows the process is actually just as worthless as the scores of other pyrolysis companies which went before it.
