You can say the same thing about a stock with low volume and low price. There must be a reason why no one is buying it right? Well, one of the reasons could be that everyone is completely wrong about it. I would avoid believing that since I shifted my strategy into Google (where everyone is) that that is where all the success is. If I told a ML researcher they were better off focusing on web development in the 2010s because that’s where the money is, I would have been hopelessly wrong. Several things can be true at the same time.

Why do some people 10x their money? They have a certain amount of time, money and risk tolerance. Not everyone can sit around and stay invested in certain convictions.

A truly industrial entrepreneur will be like a good investor. Buy the obvious, bet on the not so obvious, and be prepared to keep working on both.
