sage, but at the same time suprisingly shallow, advice there Sam. I'll be sure to take it board with the various other platitudes I hear daily on HC. Perhaps you are confusing the word "speculative" with the words "small and badly run". There is a difference.

BTW I have no problem at all with cap rises when the company is showing evidence that they are effectively using the funds they have garnered already to advance the company, and consequently our shareprice. Just because a company is a "speculative stock" doesnt mean they cant show some semblance of focused planning, due diligence, targeted considered expenditure and effective product development. There are any number of "speculative stocks" that show they can do this time and time again.

Otherwise the only "speculative" aspect will be how long the company will last.
