pcyhuang: regarding: "Curious if any of you guys in the process of building up a very large position hoping to achieve a 10 bagger type gains end up in a big loss instead?" Such a loss would almost never happen on a value thread where somebody is buying a value stock. If the presumption is that the company/stock is The Next Great Thing, then it's more than likely not a value stock. And if it were a value stock, it's not likely to be undervalued by 1000% (i.e. worth $10/sh., but selling for only $1/sh.) Certainly possible for somebody here to figure a stock could be a 10 bagger and make a big bet on it, and be wrong, but - imo - that figuring is related to growth/future prospects/or something else -- not value.
