RE: Wandisco (WAND) 30 x bagger potential?26 Jul 2023 22:20
Dai,
I can still recall company's from back in the 90's that have changed names several times. Or phoenixed several times. For instance ZPHR where I think you correctly called the recent low has changed name about 4-5 times.
I actually remember when AIM started back in the 90's and comprised of only had a handful of companies
Now it's 800+ companies & I guess it's like when you can recall the names of 100's of footballers over decades and who they have played for and facts about them it all just builds up over the years.
It's no bad thing starting out learning all the players in one particular sector (say oil and gas) but there will always be sector rotations when certain sectors (such as lithium miners etc) enjoy a 12-18month boom and they are the hot stocks seeing multibaggers and then something else happens (like covid) and all the Bio Techs 10 x bag and then slowly sell back off. We mentioned all those hydrogen stocks. They all 10 x bagged and have been in an 18 month downtrend and now trying to break.
Some of the lithium stocks that have 10 x - 20 x bagged have been seeing profit taking recently.
The Gold and Copper exploration Co's are on their knees at present so have the potential to move quickly.
AI and Tech has been flying over the past year, but some are trading at crazy multiples..
It's good to be able to rotate across all the sectors and be able to move to where the action is (ideally ahead of the herd) but it takes time to learn all the various players and what they are up to.
Once one particular company in a particular sector starts to move quicly you tend to see the copy cat trades in similar companies doing similar things that are priced more keenly vs peers, and when that happens that's where you often see the herd running to next.
I've also got notes on stacks of companies on what news is expected and when, so I'm not having to try ro remember it all. :-))
On the flip side, I've seen other traders successful employ a 'one AIM company at a time policy' and go both long and short on a volatile stock that they have fully researched and feel they are better positioned to know when to go long or short as they just focus on that one company.
It's finding out what works best for your trading style and risk appetite imo.
