Today, we’re seeing the rise of meme stocks... stocks that are not being bought and sold based on the merits of the business behind them, but because of a viral trend on social media. We’re talking about companies like BigBear.ai (BBAI) and KULR Technology Group (KULR) with little to no fundamental value, yet they skyrocket in price, driven not by the potential for long-term growth, but by nothing more than online chatter.
We are witnessing a time when the very principles of common sense are being thrown out the window, and nowhere is this more apparent than in stocks like BBAI and KULR, companies that should be trading for pennies yet they are each worth more than 10x the market cap of cash flow positive One Stop Systems (OSS) a company that is selling its high-tech AI solutions to the Army, Navy, and Military Defense Contractors around the world.
Once upon a time, the stock market was a place for hard-working people to invest in companies like OSS that have real value, real products, and real growth potential. It was a system built on fundamentals like having positive free cash flow. Investors would look at a company’s earnings, its management, its products, and its overall financial health before deciding where to put their money. This was the bedrock of sound investing. But today, we are seeing something entirely different.
We are seeing speculation at its worst. And it is fueled by a dangerous mix of greed and ignorance.
It doesn’t take a financial expert to see that this is no longer about finding value. It’s about hopping on a bandwagon, trying to make a quick buck while ignoring the fundamentals that drive sustainable growth. Where is the common sense? Where is the logic?
Why did Castellum (CTM) suddenly gain by 900% during the past month? It has nowhere near the potential of OSS!
Let’s take a step back and ask ourselves: What happened to the idea of responsible investing in companies like OSS that will be powering our future autonomous Unmanned Surface Vessels that will save lives? What happened to the idea that the stock market should be a place where people put their hard-earned money into companies they believe in, where the risk is balanced by the possibility of reward based on sound business practices like signing customer funded development contracts, where OSS has seen customer funded development revenue increase by 219.27% year-over-year?
Instead, we are seeing a market fueled by hype, manipulation, and FOMO, where ordinary people are encouraged to buy stocks not because they believe in a company’s long-term vision, but because it’s trending on X or Reddit. It's not just retail investors but also the hedge funds with their dangerous algorithms that buy stocks based on nothing more than the number of X and Reddit posts!
This is not a healthy market. This is a market where volatility reigns supreme, where people lose their life savings on a whim, and where the pursuit of profit is driven by emotion, not reason.
The stock market is not a casino. It should not be a place where you gamble with your future on the whim of a meme or a tweet. We must return to sanity. We must return to sound financial principles.
NIA believes in a future where we rein in this chaos and restore confidence in the stock market. We must ensure that people understand the importance of doing their homework... looking at the fundamentals and making decisions that are driven by reason, not the latest viral trend!
It’s time to bring common sense back to the stock market! The way forward is one where investments are made based on solid, reliable information, into companies like OSS that are valued for their actual performance... and where individuals are empowered to make decisions based on logic and long-term goals, not the next big online frenzy.
Let’s take the stock market back from the realm of speculation and put it back in the hands of people who understand that true value comes from hard work, innovation, and sound financial practices.
