Advance Nanotek<\/strong> (ASX:ANO), a manufacturer of nanoparticles for the cosmetic and sunscreen industry, came onto my radar over a year ago. Several high-profile Strawman members had recommended it, offering an articulate and well-reasoned Bull thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, shares were trading at around 50c each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not long after, the price started to climb — strongly. By late August shares had more than doubled. Well, I thought, I’ve probably missed the boat. Besides, I can always buy in on a ‘dip’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, such a dip was presented, with shares dropping by almost 20% from the high watermark by years’ end. Still, I was too anchored on the earlier price, and speculated (hoped?) that shares could keep falling. It didn’t matter that the Strawman community had posted a consensus valuation that was well above the market price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then things really started to take off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by a series of impressive market updates and financial results, shares doubled again. And then again. And then went up a further 50% from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those keeping score, that’s a more than 1200% return over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, those already eye-watering gains were further boosted after the company reported an “unexpected” 100 tonnes in additional orders from the US. 100 tonnes! And with a recently expanded manufacturing capacity, Advance Nanotek is well-placed to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a few lessons here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, investors should avoid anchoring on past prices. Who cares where the market was at previously; all that matters is what the price will be in the future. So long as shares are being offered for a price that is below a sensible notion of intrinsic value, a rational investor should be prepared to buy. And, according to the Strawman community consensus, that potential has existed for much of the last 12-months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, and related to the first point, existing investors should avoid the temptation to ‘lock-in’ a profit for the sake of it. Undoubtedly, it would have been tempting to take a profit at 50%, and even more so after shares had doubled. At 1000% profit the urge to sell would have been downright irresistible! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet shares have climbed a further 20% since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, there may be good reason to lighten the load, so to speak, due to considerations around portfolio weighting — it’s probably not wise to have a position that represents 80% of the total! Outside of that, so long as shares represent value, there’s little sense in selling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, it’s entirely possible for shares to become better<\/em> value as the price climbs, so long as the underlying fundamentals improve at a faster pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we have to remember that although such gains always look easy in hindsight, they require an immense emotional fortitude to achieve. The path to the so-called “10-bagger” was well illustrated by @RamBhupatiraju<\/a> on Twitter recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it looks like Advance Nanotek has only moved in one direction, there have been plenty of so-called draw-downs along the way. For example, shares dropped 20% from their previous high in just one week over March!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the million dollar question remains; is it NOW too late to buy shares in Advance Nanotek?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well that, dear investor, is for you to decide. But you can stand on the shoulders of some of Strawman’s investing giants by visiting the Advance Nanotek company report…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
