Not blind to the odds at all. Risk/reward. Speculation. Thats what its all about. Doesn't hurt for any of the participants to look forward to what at the moment might be a rather lofty share price. The only harm that can come is if one loses sight of the speculation aspect and starts considering this as a locked in "investment".
As long as we stick with the "venture capital" (as in money that will not impact your day to day living) at this stage then a little wishful thinking is part of the fun. In some cases it actually comes to pass and in THIS case it seems the odds are building in the "players" favor.
Onward and Upward.
