The jumping on any bandwagon has just come about with the ease of buying shares in a business from the phone in your hand. I would expect that investing this way getting it wrong would be a common occurrence.

i tend to look at asset value and potential revenue and income that could be generated by the further development of those assets and what I'd like to pay for the whole company.

there's risk in all investing and your going to make mistakes, but what most people do is they sell the winners or potential winners and hold onto the dogs that are just a popular shate price with no substance.
