Speculative Stock

  

See: Speculation. See: Speculative Company.

A speculative stock is the underlying manner in which investors invest in speculative companies. CancerBGone has no data to support that its Witch's Brew is effective in curing cancer. Yet many people drink it and "swear by it." The company is about to go big with an add-on Warlock's Brew. There's no residual value if it turns out that dessicated turnip mixed with the ear hair of donkeys really does anything more than gross people out when they hear what the bitter drink consists of. Yet...people invested. Maybe it will turn out to lower blood pressure instead, and that'd be an accidental win.

What? Could happen. Maybe. Never underestimate the power of ass hair.
