    If anyone following likes business biographies, I recommend "Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight

    Your money would be better off buying and watching the movie Risky Business and doing what Tom Cruise did.

    I'm intrigued. It could very well go to zero, or it could bounce to $10+. The asymmetry is appealing, but you literally cannot trust their financials because they've been cooking the books for the last year.

    My gut says there is at least a 50% chance they survive, which would make it a good bet, but I'd like to have a better handle on the numbers...

    At least let it base out.

    If you really want to take a chance, Dec 17 $5 calls @~$0.30. I wouldn't touch it on TA or FA.

    Putting a Porsche 928 in a lake? Yep you're probably right.
