You're sounding awfully defensive and hostile. I'm not the one who told you to buy your AEB shares nor the one who caused them to decrease in value.
Lots of fads are based on old or ancient ideas. So what? The health goodies have a following, again, so what? As you say and as I already had, this isn't a new industry. It's already being done. AEB made promises about making fuel cheaper than anyone else including the experts said was possible but have utterly failed to do anything with it or show any evidence of their incredible claims, and now they claim they can suddenly compete in the health scene, and you want to believe them. Fair enough, but I don't, because of all the obvious reasons. If there's a fad and high demand at the right time and they actually do get to production (they failed with the oil and I don't believe they'll ever be in commercial production with it), then they may make some money. Briefly. The gimmick, er, alternative health industry may not be as big as the energy industry, but there are still plenty of hippies, hipsters and the gullible who throw money into it, and it is dominated by a few large companies (I have relatives who work in the industry and have had a lot of exposure to it). AEB has a tiny market cap and almost no funds. It's going to be difficult to remain competitive among the big fish in that industry. Alternatively, this product catches on and becomes more mainstream, and instead of Metagenics you're competing with the pharmaceutical companies. Good luck with that!
I've spent years making predictions about AEB and being spot on. It would be stupid to try to predict the exact price at close on the last day of the year, but back in 2012 I predicted seeing prices at 5c or less in 2014, and!at the start of this year I think I predicted 7c or less (if someone wants to bother checking, knock yourself out). I'm on holiday at the moment and don't have my files handy. If you want an updated prediction I'll stick to it and say I expect 5c or less before the end of the year, and at least one rally, with prices dropping below the pre rally figure within the following six months, probably the following two.
Other holders have claimed to congratulate me if I'm right, but instead they disappear
