Back in 2010-11, billionaire venture capitalist Vinod Khosla backed three advanced biofuel companies that went public. These companies, debuting on the NASDAQ, were KiOR, Gevo, and Amyris. It has been almost exactly 6 years since Gevo's IPO in February 2011. If you had invested $10,000 in Gevo at the IPO and left it there, today that investment is worth about $2.36. On the strength of the positive news, they would then issue new shares -- which would tend to crash the share price.
