It never feels like it at the time, but I always see an influx of FUD as an acknowledgment of potential value. In this instance it seems somewhat coordinated, as four or five people appeared from nowhere acting as good Samaritans.
FUD is an intervention intended to lower the price of a stock, usually one with low volume. As the original poster and SeaGull commented either 1) they care and don’t want people to risk their hard earned cash, 2) or they believe they can shake out some nervous investors, lower the price and gain added value for their entry. Not a nice headspace for the instigators of FUD to be in and I hope they are getting help for the low self-esteem they must have.
It is the way of the market unfortunately, not just small caps but big NASDAQ tech stocks can be affected by coordinated FUD. However, I always return to my value thesis and although much of TM1 was previously speculative, that speculation is quickly becoming a reality, and that’s where I am placing my bet. The recent gains in the FTSE 100/250 may also start spilling over into small caps soon as the margin of safety in those blue chip stocks narrows. The move to RG1 ticker early next year should also be a core catalyst for both sentiment and value.
DYOR and all the best, even to the derampers.
