"All I can suggest is that regardless of how much research you have done and how confident you are you should never go ‘all in’ on an AIM stock or any other investment."
That depends on two things. (a) Risk appetite: For some people, making sure they profit fully from the upside carries more weight than insuring against the potential downside. They would rather take the risk of losing £X than potentially missing out on £XXX. (b) Perceived risk: When a company like EUA releases an RNS saying that they are "committed to execute on the strategy outlined in the May 12 RNS" it's fairly clear the outcome is weighted in favour of that upside. Therefore, by not over-committing to EUA right now (or de-risking at this stage) investors are arguably diluting their profits.
Sure, this approach isn't for everyone. But it's why those who are prepared to take the biggest risks get the biggest rewards (or, if they're stupid enough to take even bigger risks by shorting, they get jubbed big time). As GMF78 tweeted yesterday, anyone who ignored Motley F****'s advice three years ago and went all in on EUA would now be sitting on 5000% gains. In a few weeks' time, anyone still piling in now could well be sitting on 500%+ gains.
