RE: PRAYING FOR A MONUMENTAL RISE28 Aug 2025 20:18
@Offler, I tend not to share my own investment strategy, but I fully respect that many investors do choose to de-risk on spikes, and as you say, there have been plenty of those along the way. It’s the nature of AIM: extreme volatility on the downside, but also explosive upside potential.
Plenty of investors top-slice on the spikes, keep a bit of powder dry, and reload on the dips, a classic way to ride AIM’s volatility while still holding for the big upside.
As for the old “it’s only a loss if you sell” line, worth noting that many investors don’t view their holding purely in monetary terms, but in terms of accumulating shares. They want to own a larger piece of the company they believe in, so price swings are often just background noise until the fundamentals crystallise.
On stop losses, yes, they’re a valid tool, particularly in liquid blue chips. But AIM can trigger them far too easily on false dips, shaking people out right before a reversal. They protect some, but they also cut others out of multi-bag moves. Each investor has their own toolkit and preferences, and there’s no single “right” strategy here.
For me, the key is patience, conviction, and understanding the asymmetry of risk/reward. Everyone has and is entitled to their own methods, some just don’t shout about it.
In the end, each investor walks their own path, what matters is conviction, not conformity. And I remain extremely bullish on HE1. 🔥🚀
