Good that you mentioned your loss on Apple, as whenever someone invest in high risk high rewards penny, people always advice him to invest in blue/steel stocks like Apple, IBM, Amazon, Google .. etc
Your loss on Apple confirms: Nothing is risk free even these big companies, Boeing is another example that may even bankrupt
When i buy a stock, it's either long term or trade
And I only invest on sleeping giants, taking high risk high reward
I see PVSP a "possible" sleeping giant (knowing the risk, and taking into consideration the history of Paul Riss as a risk factor)
1. PVSP is in a sector that will have a booming market in near future, but that is applied to every company in that sector not only pvsp
2. PVSP, assuming that their plans are honest and transparent, can be the lead of this sector.. that what makes point one has value for PVSP specially ahead of other (most of the other are scam with wishes and dreams .. e.g. $mine
Based on that, I made my decision to invest on PVSP
Knowing it's high risk/high reward, I didn't put big money on it until their credibility is proven .. that will happen within the next month or so (through Uzbek and Artisan deals finalization)
Financial advisors normally don't pick high risk companies, as they can be sued by their customers, and because of that they lose the high rewards.. they are normally looking for 10% overall annual gains on total investment.. different approach than the freedom that we have to risk
