The more extreme the volatility now, the more extreme the volatility later.
About 18 months ago, OSP 6x to 6 dollars on good volume in a week and speeding ticket from ASX. Not saying it will happen again, but that beach guy was spot on. Needs positive announcements and FDA approvals to get market traction.
Now if you invest 100k in telstra, and it drops 10%, it’s the same as if you bought 10k OSP and it drops to zero. Which scenario is more likely? Which investment decision will yield a greater return in the long run? The answer is OBVIOUS.
You can say if Telstra drop 10% some time after your purchase doesn’t count because you haven’t sold. But you have still already lost that 10% bc you could have bought it 10% cheaper.
However every 10% that OSP goes down, you are playing with fire. Because it is already so cheap.
Just imagine it is 2017, you read the fundie report and you are about to hit the buy button, BUT a Genie stopped you from buying OSP at 80 dollars. Transported you 5 years to the future. It’s 200x cheaper. You can buy 200x as much shares for the same money and same risk. You’ve missed all the drama with failed sales and Coronavirus. Maybe your friend even made 2000x in LTR.
There are only 2 reasons why people are selling. They can’t afford to lose more or they can’t afford to lose full stop long or short term. Then you shouldn’t be investing.
I think beach boy has been impartial and exceptional in his analysis. But he is just a tad too careful.
The risk lies in how much you invest as opposed to what you invest in. Even if you bought OSP at 80 bucks, now it’s 200x down, you can only lose less than 80 bucks. If you reinvest 800 at the current new price, you have resolved both your missed opportunity problem and your average entry price problem.
You might think I’m just a pumper. Actually I am trying to help everyone. Even the buying, I have only targeted big fundie sell orders bc I know if I buy off them, it’s for tax loss purposes and I believe they will buy back at a lower price. So win win for everybody. If I bought off a retail, they have lost so much and they are probably not selling for tax purposes, they have just lost. And I don’t think they will buy back. And I don’t want them to sell. Because there’s not much they can lose, but if the stock becomes 1 Billion market cap, it’s like a lost lottery ticket or Bitcoin thrown in the trash…
