@Assumpta I think you need one of Booms famous hugs. I agree if investing for the long term then choosing a shell is not the right space to be. These plays are trading plays imo as not many will succeed long term. You would watch your profits come and then go just as quickly (and likely your capital outlay with it in time..)
I think however if you can identify value in these shells and capitalise on them by getting in early then you can exit for some serious profit. Then tip it into ailing blue chips if you like (of which there are many to choose from atm) regardless of how manipulated the Bull market has been for a while now. But the markets aren't manipulated by hearts.. Hearts provide guidance but you need to use your own head to make your own decisions ultimately.. Certainly doesn't help to bash hearts as they are human and make mistakes too..
If you separate your trading (short term) capital from your investing (long term) capital maybe that would work for you? Or maybe just don't play in the shells and just stay on the beach?
I understand what you are saying and there's always pump and dumps. You just want to be on the right side of both. Patience, strategy, timing.. All that fun stuff yeah? Smiles and a big hug for you!
