There seems to be a lot of tension here due to the SP fluctuations and negative comments. LTHs like me and many others here need to understand that BRN is not a company that is ubiquitous like Tesla, Intel, etc, as such only a select few investors (and shorts) would be trading the shares. As long as the company continues to make sensible decisions like working with IP partners (Intel, ARM), licensing its IP to SoC designers and manufacturers (Megachips, Socionext, Renesas), partnering with companies integrating AKida into their own products (Edge Impulse, Nanose, NASA, Prophesee, Japanese co that developed an event-based camera whose name escapes me), working with universities, etc.
Anyone who plays chess (or any other strategic game) knows that games are not won in one or two moves, but involve time and strategising where to place one's pieces (patents, partnerships, etc) before setting up the board for the win. A startup like Brainchip, with novel technology that requires a paradigm shift to understand, and time to learn how to utilise, naturally has a longer runway for takeoff. Contrarian investing is investing against the ebb and flow of the "crowd". Opportunities may arise from an underappreciation of the underlying company (the kind Warren Buffett likes), or a failure to understand the technology and its potential (like an early stage Tesla, or Brainchip in this case). Investors like us are contrarian in our view, and as long as our calculations, research and rationalising make sense, why should we be affected by the opinions of the "crowd"? If we wanted to invest with the "crowd", we'd be buying at much higher prices at a later date and with a lower profit potential.
What difference would the opinions of 100 or 1,000 rants from bitter people make to the plans and eventual success of a company? Instead of whinging about people posting negative views and tanking prices, and remembering that the stock market is a zero-sum game, we should see each dip as an opportunity to top up our holdings with any spare cash we may have, and wait for the inevitable launch to space (quite literally with NASA).
