I had to look that up to see what the reference was. I never saw the movie. But yes --- the parallel could be made there. And not just pharma stocks - but any company where there is similar "amazing upside" but little in actual real business to back that up except a lick and a promise.

To be clear --- with all due respect to Sebtarta (the OP) I mean no disrespect for his question. If you're new to the thread -- without reading about half a billion pages -- you would have missed the full idea behind the thread. So - Sebtarta - please don't take our pokes at this type of investing as a personal shot. But this type of investing is EXACTLY what this thread is about in a 180* way. The thread became a blog almost - but about how to safely invest - how to get started investing - how to stay invested without gambling or stewing about big quick losses etc. So unfortunately for your questing -- it played right into the "WHAT NOT TO DO" that this thread has tried to cover.
