Congratulations to all the "low IQ individuals", "smartass short-term traders" and "people who are allergic to free money", that didn't buy the value stocks that "couldn't go any lower".

Pat yourselves on the back for not falling prey to the bag holders's manipulation.
I know it may seem ridiculous, but when you're part of a community where a large number of individuals constantly highlight how something can't go lower because their DCF analysis shows a bear case above a stock's price, it can be tempting to pull the trigger at something you shouldn't have.
Likewise, when one of these beaten down names jumps 5% on a random day, it can be easy to fomo in when you notified an old comment of yours that suddenly has 4 new comments, all by bag holders looking for people who didn't agree with them.
Let us stay low IQ and avoid companies with rapidly deteriorating moats, declining revenue growth, and little to no growth prospects.
And no this is not about laughing at people's losses, this is about avoiding losses due to cult like communities of bag holders that call others idiots, dm people after their stock goes up 5%, and outright lie about their investments. Coincidentally, this is most of the "value" names around here.
