While the stock market in general has been dropping in the last few months, there is one stock I have been paying a lot of attention to and that stock is
PLTR
Palantir.
I started buying this stock since the IPO and made some additional buys till we reached $26, but looking at the chart the initial parabolic rise it had was clearly very unsustainable and decided to stop buying into the mania at the time. Afterwards I made some Technical Analysis and decided that a fair price to make some big buys once again was actually the range from $8-$11 (you can see the green rectangle on the chart I named "BUY ZONE"), the reason I figured out that my fair buy zone was that specific range, is because I saw a pattern of pure speculation and hype around the Reddit pumps, SPAC pumps and the FED printing money like never. With all of those factors put together it was clearly a time to let the markets cool down and wait once again for a fair opportunity. To be honest I left my original BUY ZONE there although I was in big disbelief that we would ever see those prices any time soon after more than a 300%+ pump, but NOW the fair opportunity has presented itself once again. The time has arrived and I'm not looking into this from a pure technical perspective I have been following their financials and they are getting way healthier each quarter, revenue is up, earnings are up, clients are up, use cases are up and they have a big pile of cash for any unexpected circumstances. Yes the stock has dropped more than 75% from its ATH and seems like it is going to die for the moment but the company itself has never been better, how one of my favorite quotes goes: “Buy when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own.” I will wait some time to see if we hold support on my "BUY ZONE", if held you know what I will be doing.
