I read up on the NIA. They say they bought >100,000 shares of BVSN before they featured it. They claim they have a 60 day lockup which expires Feb 12, as I recall. Their big argument for the stock is that it has a lot of cash and has a better product than its main competitor.
It has been wildly volatile and is very active.
I would note that most of NIA's featured stocks, as listed on its website, have been the typical gold and silver miners one would expect from an inflation hawk group. They actually did pretty well, if the recommended dates on the website are accurate.
Meanwhile, BVSN is fun to watch and carefully daytrade, but I wouldn't buy it and put it away in my IRA. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the lockup expires.
