Paul Mampilly’s 100x dealI listened to a sales pitch last night for over 1 hour that was geared to Paul Mampilly’s Banyan Hill suckers and was waiting for the 3 stocks that would pay returns of at least 100x or better ,
what I got at the end was an opportunity to sign up for the service for $10,000 for life. With that you would get at least 1 tip a month at minimum and pay a yearly fee for maintainence. The time frame for these returns could be anywhere from 1 year to 8 or 9 years, He gave some insight into the 3 picks he was talking about but no ticker symbols. They are all micro-caps and 1 had a patent for blood testing without the need of collecting blood without a needle. Did anyone else catch this pitch or have any idea of who it may be? Thanks Travis, he says he’s looking at Micro- caps worth 300 million, have enough capital for 1 year,experienced executives with a track record, gross margins of at least 20%, and a unique service

Just a shout out to all y’all contributing here. I have been lurking for several months here and, among other tidbits, I took substantial positions in ACUIF and SLGG, after hearing about them here and doing a bit of research. And, I can only say thank you, I mean really–thank y’all very much.
When was AT.TO recommended?
I am half a world away and watching what I consider a big drop in the market, not selling just holding on! Glad to read DD132 and others have comments on how to get thru.
I am only in PM with PU, I need to learn more about options to move forward. I have been successful this past year, partly due to the advice and critical thinking shared in this site. thank you all!
SNE
That’s it. Just SNE. What are you trying to say.
Been lurking on this group for a while now and just wanna reinforce what many are saying with holding. It’s hard to see the forest from the trees in these volatile small market caps. That’s apart of the game. I’ve taken big losses these last couple weeks, but being disciplined and using this as an opportunity for some cost dollar averaging on a dip is the advice many successful people i know are giving. Regardless of that though, just remember, it’s a marathon not a sprint. 🙂
I disagree with the holding sentiment. It is time to start buying. Sure many stocks are now down 50%, but if you were buying during the dip last March, many stocks are still up 100-200%.
You don’t entirely disagree, as you are adding to your position.
Me too, in a limited way. I went in on the one stock I hope to have the quickest and biggest rebound of the 100x — MARA. Not recommending this to anyone, but…
It had a high of 47, now under 30, Bitcoin hovering around 50 and eventually going higher.
Be interesting to see the comments here after this correction plays out.
Good suggestions DD132. I got some MARA,TTOO,RVP, HYRE,CGIX,GPRO,AEYE on their lows!
So obviously DD132 is a multi-millionaire and is doing something right. So I’m just going to follow patiently behind him and will end up being just as successful.
So no weak hands here. Though I should’ve hedged some of these positions, in 20-20 hindsight.
I don’t recommend that. We all have different investment needs, largely based on age. I’m older (56), have a separate 401(k) which is my safe retirement money, 3 kids (one a baby), etc. You have to have a plan that meets your individual goals and risk tolerance.
These boards are fir sharing ideas, stock tips, but DON’T simply follow something someone else suggests as it may not fit your needs and goals.
I meant steady hands, not get shaken up with recent market volatility, and keep a long term goal in mind.
Just heard business channel saying that this year is setting up to be on fire. It better take off soon and be a bonfire cause my portfolio is down 50% . Unfortunately I listened to business channel when they said we were in a melt up and therefore did not take profits before this big February loss period.
If you’re down 50%, I assume you are extremely new to the game.
We had a 10% drop in the NASDAQ. That is officially a correction. Train you mind to resist the fear and be buying stocks you like during corrections.
Watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” and the market crash scenes. Two people held it together. George and Mr. Potter. Strong Hands!
I hope they are right. My portfolio has taken a hammering. One of my buying platforms sends an automatic advice of stocks that go down more than 10% in a day. Yesterday I had a list of 11 stocks 4 of which were over 20%. One of these LTBR was down 38%. Normally strong hands pays off but if we are at a market turning point then one might have to wait a very long time like the 1999/2000 tech bubble. I like the companies but the valuations are difficult and may have been changed by the upwards movement in long term interest rates. Some form of rally would be nice but right now I would settle for a levelling off and no further violent falls.Lol
personally my worse financial decisions are made after listening to the business channels. That’s why I don’t anymore. I read a lot. I read a lot of boring stuff, like macro econ. and Fed minutes. there are a handful of professionals that I follow intently. Ones that have a strong history and are not worried about ratings.
Some thoughts.
By now, we have learned that stocks which go up can also come crashing down. Some will quickly recover and go to the proverbial moon, others may not recover quickly – or ever. For instance, remember Intel’s all-time high during the dot com bubble? If you invested in Intel (INTC) in July 2000 you’d still be down.
Hopefully we’ll be through this consolidation phase soon, though. More and more technical indicators suggest this, so by the end of the month we might have largely recovered from the past two weeks.
Whether you’re new to investing or have experienced a few actual crashes in your life, please do ask yourself from time to time whether your portfolio resembles your acceptable risk level. Plenty of comments in this thread indicate that some of you are treating 100x stock suggestions as sound financial advice with little risk.
This is not the case. Most of the recommendation are small micro-cap stocks with their future depending on one a few big clients, on one medical trial, on one patent… you get the idea. In other words, their business risk is high. They might blow up – or may go bankrupt. Don’t invest your lifesavings into 100x stocks. Consider how much risk you are willing to take. Are you happy with investing 10% of your portfolio in high-risk stocks? 20%? 50%? Only you can answer this. Ultimately, it’s the percentage that makes you sleep through the night.
Lastly, we always hear that it’s a “high risk, high reward” game we’re playing. Perhaps it is. However, taking a high risk does not automatically lead to high reward potential. Never forget this and turn the process around: look for high reward opportunities, and then consider the risk involved. That’s why you do your own due diligence. Invest in stocks (companies, and people!) you trust and believe in. Would you still invest in a company if you think its CEO is a slimy goofball? Heck, if I was to invest a quarter of my life savings in a company, I’d make sure to understand the company and sector very well. For 5% of my portfolio I’m happy to take a higher risk, but I sure will spend more than a few hours on learning about the company and listen to my gut.
tldr;
* consider your risk appetite when investing
* be aware that ‘high risk means high reward’ is not a thing. ‘High risk’ does not necessary correlate with ‘high reward’
Very well said!
PM represents my speculative portion of my portfolio. There are some larger companies in there that don’t fit that description, but for the majority of the picks, I classify as speculative.
PM is good so is Cathie Wood and the list goes on.
Keep in mind they have been beneficiaries of a very strong market segment. As Buffet says, “don’t confuse brains with a bull market”.
Due you due diligence.
Common sense advice.
Let me add, however, that the natural tendencies of young people (often) in investing is to avoid risk, probably because they have less to risk. While older people with more disposable income might be inclined to take greater risk.
This should be reversed. So much of good investing is overcoming your fears, which are driven by the daily news. If we fixate on the road three feet in front of the bumper, we’ll have an accident. Look down the road. And if your younger, look farther.
We’re all experiencing this correction. To cheer myself up I changed the graph on my Schwab account to reflect account growth in the past calendar year rather than my YTD growth. Looks a lot better, and reminds me, this is just a bad few weeks.
Completely make sense, should not expect the stocks always to go up , when it comes down after the selloff it builds momentum ,new buyers waiting for opportunities get in and then it goes to new high. Look at all the indexes , history tells everything , the high that was in past is the low right now already, and the new high again becomes a low in the future and so on.
I absolutely agree on taking age/saving strategies into account when considering your risk approach. Still, some of the comments here have been worrying regardless of the posters’ age. Taking risks is a necessity to make money, but make sure you understand risk in terms of reward opportunities.
Just think of the GME fallout (you mentioned before). Sure, you can blame the individual for not having done sufficient due diligence or not understanding how the stock market works, but I rather mourn the financial difficulties this has caused to many individuals, than to blame them for hoping to be on the winning side for once.
Well said. It is up to each individual how much risk to take. These 100 x are high risk stocks with low market caps and when they sell off may not have much market demand which then drive the prices lower. IMHO only invest what you can afford to lose. However even doing this does not make it easy and at the moment I definitely regret not taking some off the table when the going was good. A good lesson
I do trust PM that this will turn around. Just kicking myself for not taking profits before the downturn. Also wishing I had waited longer before buying additional shares of stocks which continue to go down. Oh well, I guess it’s a learning experience. I have only been investing for 8 months.
Same. If I had just invested in NASDAQ instead of picking stocks myself, I actually would have made more money, even with this correction. This is so bad and rough. Kicking myself for not taking gains either.
I;ve been averaging down on Fibonacci levels, and recently 120day daily MA levels on some of these fast dropping stocks.
Buy AQB; EF; 3/5/21; $5.23-$5.78.
Thanks DD132. Was able to get-in at $5.96. Had to borrow from wife as I already ran out of cash 🙂
Thank you DD; any rec’s from the options services? since most of them are down 50%?
None today
Thanks DD, yours and others input and experience on this microblog are very much appreciated, but as a vegetarian I’ll pass on this occasion. This is not a ‘holier than thou’ attitude but I do try to focus on investments in keeping with my environmental and animal welfare beliefs. Not always as easy or straightforward to recognise but usually becomes apparent in due diligence. Any other folks out there have businesses or industries they will shy away from on principles or is your main focus making a buck at any cost? Not judging in any way at all, just interested where people are at
If you sell now instead of buy you will probably regret it,, don’t panic, last year was alot worse, I was up 125% from last march’s lows until this correction hit
Agree, this is why so many people lose money in the stock market. They buy after it goes up and sell street it goes down.
The market just went down. Alot. Just like it won’t go up forever, it won’t go down forever. Everything reverts to the mean. If a stock was worth buying when it was 30% percent higher, why wouldn’t you want to buy more?
Yup. People need to realise that this dip isn’t about the companies being less valuable. Money is just leaving the market or shifting elsewhere for a while. Great opportunity to buy if you believe in the fundamentals of these stocks, just need patience (and the risk tolerance). Unfortunately the “quick gain virus” and FOMO seems to have spread as quickly as COVID over the last 12 months. I was horrified to see some of the numbers of people borrowing against their home/current mortgage. Not sure how we educate people that risking anything but SOME of your disposable income (that you know you won’t need for 3-5 years) isn’t the most sensible idea. If your only equity investments are in PM stocks, the $ you have invested really must be cash you don’t need any time soon. I know people are desperately wanting to get ahead, and see many of the rich getting richer, and have seen some people get lucky on reddit. But just as many risk being unlucky and the reality is the rich have far more appetite for risk. There are going to be other opportunities in the future. It took me until my mid to late thirties to have that risk appetite. To any of the younger folk that are joining in on this conversation, work hard, pay off your credit cards, try and be sensible with your cash and save some money wherever you can, focus on your career and developing wealth that way and make small steps on the investment front when you can afford to do so.
Devildog, yes, I am a new investor and have made plenty of mistakes but I am learning. I’m still holding strong though. I saw the same positive things you mentioned, so I thought the market would correct quickly and then continue to rise. This is the first really big drop I have experienced so it’s tough.
Thankfully, although at the time I though regretfully, have been through several of these devastating periods. Thing about them, they all turned out to be much briefer than they felt like they would be. I never sold during the huge drops, but made the mistake the first couple of not buying. That is no longer a problem, as once I decide on what I am doing portfolio wise, and investment selection, I proceed with conviction.
I was not in a period I was planning on increasing my 100X stakes, but because of the drops I have bought each of the last three weeks, including adding to my WWR position today.
If you believe in why you are invested in this, you should be buying.
If you don’t believe you never should have been in.
Major indexes move up 74% of the time, so the odds of the market coming back is pretty good. But having conviction in these PM recommendations is really …..what most others very knowledgeable people here say “a personal risk tolerance” choice.
I see EYES received FDA approval and jumped big today. I can’t find it in this thread but didn’t PM recommend selling out of its about a month ago?
Yes, PM sold EYES. bought AEYE. Looks like an eye for an eye replacement, LOL 🙂
It looks like he traded us out of the right eye and into the wrong eye. Feel like I am in the eye of the storm right now with this current market.
Lazut Inku/calculatedrisk, I’m glad we can joke about it a little. Let’s hold strong on the rest of our PM holdings and hope for a big comeback.
LoL
I jumped right in
When I first got started in investing back in the 1980s, my grandfather told me that there will be months when it’s best to leave your statements sealed and just go golfing. I’ve never been a golfer, but I can tell you that if you’re struggling with this correction as a new investor, take a break from all your devices.
I think it’s healthy to have some time off regularly. I went off to a silent no technology 10 day meditation course recently. No access to the market at all, and I had no active orders on my account. I was nervous as hell when I went in, but I came out and my portfolio had grown 6%. If it was down 6% it was still worth the 10 days completely switched off from the market. If you’re doing enough research before buying, you need to just trust in those decisions.
good thoughts to remember, easy to get carried away… thank you quant
Grateful the market seems to have stopped the freefall! Hope my options recover!
hope you are right
Anyone know if Paul sold his ttoo? It got destroyed.
Thanks
Doubt it. I haven’t seen a sell notice. He may just sit on this one. To give a little perspective,I believe he recommended TTOO back in May 2020 when the price was < 0.80 (Someone can correct me) And whilst there's been a big drop in the last couple of weeks, the stock was at 1.90 at the end of January and this rollercoaster has really only been Feb/Early March. Still double the price at rec. This is one of those future stocks that people have pulled money out of for the short-term. Their results yesterday didn't seem to be too well received, but expected loss vs actual loss has been bouncing around. They're still very small. 18mil in revenue last year, and that was a 118% increase on the prior. I haven't had a chance to listen to the earnings call but its available here: https://www.investornetwork.com/event/presentation/74993
No it hasn’t. There have been no sell recs in 100x since it opened.
These are long term holds. They are small caps. Expect volatility!!!
Paul sent an email out yesterday emphasizing Strong Hands. And Ian King sent one out saying this sell off is overblown. Hang tough.
DD I am going with you. Thank you.
#StrongHands. #BOP
2021 Outlook – The Resurgence Of Small Caps
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4399565-2021-outlook-resurgence-of-small-caps
Doctor and DD are correct. It was May of 2020 and .97. TTOO has excellent growth stability, which is an assessment of how stable the growth of earnings and cash flow has been over time. Like the rest of the picks, it is a high risk, longer term hold that will almost certainly experience extreme fluctuations.
i don’t think so

I want to thank you all for this incredible thread. The support here is not to be believed. The past few weeks have been really challenging, and the support of the group here has been a lifesaver. I personally sold out half a year ago when I panicked, and have drawn so much support this time around.
Thank you all and cheers to a bright future!
