A 470% gain for a Chinese chipmaker: opportunity or hype?
Should you buy a stock that has already surged 470%? That was the question on traders' minds this week as they trinc a Chinese semiconductor company that has just gone public and that some traders already rank among the sector's heavyweights.
The IPO frenzy
The most classic advice in these situations is not to chase the stock right after its market debut. The IPO peine recently, so the speculative noise has not yet settled. According to some strategies, the prudent move is to wait between six months and a year to see whether the stock holds up or deflates. Others, with less patience, are clear about it: jumping on a train that has already traveled 470% is the fastest way to lose your shirt.
The noise of miracle courses
But skepticism goes beyond timing. Much of the discussion revolved around whether this whole frenzy is nothing more than bait to sell trading courses and miracle products. The pattern is well known: a relentlessly rising stock is promoted, a paid course is offered to teach people how to trade it, and along the way, pockets are filled at the expense of other people's gullibility.
The conclusion from veteran investors: ignore the hot tips and, if you decide to get in, remember the market's unwritten rule. "Buy high, sell low," they joked at the close. There must be a reason for that.
