My takeaway from the barrage of stories analyzing the Reddit group that banded together to create noise in the stock industry is that this time, the group hit the market at the right time with the right story and, it seems, most of the people walked away with a profit. All have digitally patted each other on the back. All are anxious for the next stock swarming. All the while, the inevitable truth is waiting to pounce: If one simply continues to follow, failure will eventually reach out and control the day.
We all know that adage, “There is no sure thing.” If you survived the jump once, there is no guarantee you will again. There is only so much space on the top of the opportunity pyramid. And that space is especially small on the top of a pyramid depicting a premium market and is truly reserved for the consistently innovative.
