Rarely and I mean extremely rare do a retail investor on the OTC become millionaires - those that are successful remove all emotion - they don't become married to the company - they play the price action.
A friend if mine has made $13.52 million since 2013 - all of the companies are Company X to him. And he started with $1500.
But most OTC investors will never cut losses - after about 8% losses he is out and on to a new ticker.
He posts screenshots if his trades - but most OTC investors that brag about making a great deal of money never show proof.
He made a great deal of money on a stock that had a great deal of volatility and he played it short and long - it was beautiful trading.
