There’s a common trick in the sector which is to grow market share, float on a stock exchange and in all the hype initial investors cash out their shares at a hyper inflated price.

The bread and butter concepts of investing get lost: what is the return? Often, to hope someone else caught up in the hype or another large company comes along with a combined stock/cash offer in a combined company. There’s only so many times this can happen before the customer base has to return profits in the form of dividends.
