    There are 54 pages of risk factors, which, after reading many S-1 filings over the years, seems pretty long. One of the most notable is the sentence, “We have incurred substantial losses during our history and may never achieve profitability.”

    Well that doesn’t sound very promising for them.

      may never achieve profitability.

      I’m not an expert or anything, but that doesn’t sound like a very good investment.

        My understanding is on these fillings you’re supposed to give a full accounting of all the risks so investors can’t sue you later. It’s like going for surgery where they say you could die - not saying it’s likely, but tries to get them off the hook.
