(...however, I decided this month to cut some losers in order to buy the biggest losers of all...)
Including this month, I've bought DDD and SSYS twelve and eight times respectively. If there are any stocks that I believe in more than any others, it would be these; even to my great detriment.
There is some actual evidence that this could be the end of the downward spiral. I submit:
- Headline: "3D Systems Stock Jumps Despite Earnings Miss". That loosely translates to "3D Systems Delivers Mostly Awful Results, Instead Of Usual Completely Awful Results", or "3D Systems Stock Can Find No More Sellers".
- Gartner expects 3D printer sales to more than double every year between 2016 and 2019. At some point, reality will have to converge with these expectations.
- It might be the case that consumer 3D printing technologies are now poised to begin climbing the "Slope of Enlightenment", with further-out technologies moving post-"Peak of Inflated Expectations" (from Gartner):
Here's my current portfolio (growth, dividend, and speculative). As always, I believe in all of these stocks - until I sell them.
