M1Rob,
You have to understand the markets can remain irrational because it's all about human behaviour.
I'm sure you didn't buy the like of Rolls Royce or airlines or travel or sea cruise companies stocks during Covid as they wasn't making a single penny during that time. Yet for the brave, some investors brought into companies like Rolls Royce for 43p and now sitting on at least 12x return on their investment. No different to not buying Apple or Tesla because they were loss making during certain parts of their business market cycle history.
Conversely you could play it safe and buy a company stock like Vodafone and over the years the SP has been decreasing. Where to you sit? You do need to take some risk in investing to make a return and sometimes it pays off and sometimes you lose all or less than your investment. Like Railtrack , Lehman Brothers, Natwest, Halifax
As for FXPO, there's plenty of risk and some that will certainly wipe out the shareholders in company or conversely reap lots of profits for the risky investor. It's a choice....risk it or not.
