Ooh boy, another one of these debates again. guys, do you know how many viable investment strategies are out there? This debate could go on ad-nausium. Buying losers is called contrarian investing, and the strategy is similar to venture capital financing. You have to spread your risk wide to ensure you can capture sufficient probability of hitting the 10-bagger. I doubt that most of us have that type of capital in our personal capacity. Maybe we can get more selective, (something that I sometimes try to do) but I have to confess that this is not really worked well for me overall. I still use my SAMROC success in the past as a motivator for embarking on this, and I am seeing those profits getting chewed up. My biggest gains have been in the last 2 years with value stocks, but then again, how often in life are you going to get that kind of a buying opportunity?
