This was a lesson with high tuition fees for someAs someone who has been into this since just after the IPO, and who has seen NTAR develop along with a "community" that shared info, I was quite open about taking profits in the $5 range a week or three ago.
Instead of it resulting in an intelligent discussion, I was dumped on by some....why would I ever sell any amount of this "stellar stock"
I pointed out I still had just over 1/3 of my position, and that it makes eminent sense to lock in profit on the way up, and not to get too greedy. Still folks called me dumb
Now I in no way foresaw this dive, but I have seen stock go up and then down like this...it is more common than not in speculative small caps.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS WILL TURN AROUND AGAIN...but it may take a bit of time before it returns to its highs.
I say this because many specs go for a run, then dive, then linger there
The fundamentals of this stock are sound and the seeking alpha hit piece scared a lot of investors seeking to lock in their profit on the way down instead of on the way up. Far easier to sell when it is going up and you "leave some profit for the other guy".
The lesson is to never be afraid to take profits. I said it then and I will repeat it.
This is NOT an "I told you so", rather, a passing on of some market wisdom I have heard and lived through.
