I haven’t even looked at a chart in like 3 weeks

Let us know what he says.

I've been reading a ton of financial books.  One of the ideas that I've been putting together based on a number of different books/articles is that you shouldn't catch falling knives and that you should ride your winners.

Another article I saw looked at historical data and they noted that most people hold their losers far too long and get out of their winners.

Just throwing out thoughts and ideas for discussion.

Battle Approved Motors (BAM) quickly hit $900,000 during its 1st round of funding, leaving little time for investors to “get in” before the close. In fact, the company is closing in on 90% of its goal, seeking just $1.07 million before closing out this early Round, so investors will need to act swiftly if they don’t want to miss out.
Imagine hearing, “If I would have gotten into Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or Ferrari (NYSE:RACE) way back when — I would already be a millionaire by now!” At just $0.26 per share, Battle Approved Motors is one of those rare opportunities an investor should feel the fear of missing out (FOMO). 
When the opportunity is gone, it’s gone. So, it’s essential to know what this brand is about. 

Why Invest in Battle Approved Motors?

With double the horsepower than the fastest utility vehicle (UTV) on the market, BAM’s high-powered line of luxury UTVs takes off-roading to the extreme. In fact, it’s said that BAM itself will be considered one of the “fastest, most powerful utility vehicles on the market” — that is, once it hits the market.
Minus the upgraded rotating doors, these vehicles are as sexy as a sports car, clean like a Tesla and capable of quickly accelerating to top speeds, just like a Porsche (OTC:POAHY).
BAM UTVs are superslick vehicles that run on electric. They’re perfect for glamping and fun to spin out or explore the outdoors. Using touchscreen technologies, its dashboard is something from out of a movie. They come pre-designed with custom roll cages, chassis and other aftermarket parts.
The company, currently valued at $6.29 million, was listed in StartEngine in October 2020. And, within just 3 days, It quickly exceeded its original goal. The listing was then put on hold. And, a month later, BAM went live again — this time with a much higher limit. The momentum picked right back up, and the company shot closer to the finish line. With more than 1,200 investors, there’s a clear and present demand for this vehicle in the market.
The UTV market is currently valued at about $6 billion and is estimated to grow with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% through 2025. As more people take to RVing and other recreational outdoor activities, this number is likely to rise. Battle Approved Motors is one of the 1st high-end elite UTVs and is currently an early-stage startup within the manufacturing, testing and validation phases.

How Battle Approved Motors Beat a Trend in Volatility
As we have seen in recent months, stocks for electric vehicles, materials and parts have been quite volatile, to say the least. Much of this is directly related to inflation, the economy and a shortage in semiconductor materials. Some say crypto may be to blame, as retail investors have been more apprehensive. We have seen days where stocks fall “right off the edge,” then we see days where they “rocket to the moon.” 
Microvision (NASDAQ:MVIS), for example, went from $13.14 at close on April 22 to over $30 on April 26 during the pre-market rally. Today, it’s closing around $13 again as tech stocks have once again fallen. Microvision’s price is rumored to reach $60 or more when the market returns to normal. This is just one of the many stocks that have felt it. And, somehow, BAM found a way to avoid the economic downturn and volatility. 
BAM has seen continued interest as early investors line up. With the stock priced so low and the product that good, everyone has got to have it. Forget the new infrastructure bill and the race to create semiconductors at home, these UTVs are ready to roll and as BAM says, “rolling to the future!”

How Will You Find Power if you are Off-Grid?

Some investors may seem a little apprehensive about mixing off-grid and electric. But, the folks at Battle Approved Motors have already thought of that. 
The Edison Electric Institute estimates 18 million electric vehicles (EVs) will be on U.S. roads by 2030. As a result, EV companies are literally joining forces to overhaul our current electric grid. Companies like FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE:FE), for example, and its subsidiaries are pledging to bring electric charging stations to places they’ve never been — this includes rural areas and locations generally considered off-grid.
The Electric Highway Coalition is one group of organizations committed to doing this. The group was formed in March 2021 and includes many of the nation's leading utilities in 29 states and the District of Columbia. It currently has 14 member groups in the Northeast alone. 
Many states are establishing their own EV pilot programs and interconnecting these interstate territories over the next few years. Potomac Edison, for example, began installing direct-current fast chargers (DCFC) throughout Maryland earlier this year.
By doing this, many companies are working tirelessly to power a network of EV fast-charging stations, which will connect across major highway and roadway systems. So, technically, it won’t be hard to find a station even while off the road. 
Battle Approved Motors, however, waits on no one and will instead be releasing its proprietary electric off-grid trailers with more information later this year.

Custom-Designed for Speed and Safety
While BAM makes it clear that it chooses quality over performance, it’s safe to say that this particular line of UTVs doesn’t lack in either area, as electric brings that added performance out the gate. 
When compared to other UTVs and EVs on the market, CEO and Founder Chris James has this to say, “Ours are safer and much faster. Are they double the money? Yes. But, do you really want a cheaply made vehicle to drive? While our UTVs may come with a higher price, drivers may actually spend less money on upgrades over time.” 
“We’re also not in the tricycle business,” James states, in relation to the three-wheeled vehicles emerging into the market. ”Now, if we were to do a more affordable vehicle down the line, it would likely be an electric ATV. I love ATVs and that would fit nicely in our portfolio.” 
He continues to tell Benzinga why he chose this route, “instead of customizing your vehicle, ours are built with upgraded parts that you would have chosen, otherwise. It takes time to build a quality vehicle. And, ours will come out of the box and race-ready if so desired.”
These vehicles are mean, green and not as bad as burning coal, gas or diesel.

Created and Inspired by a Team of Young Racers

In early 2015, James and his film team began producing an extreme sports film called Mod Kids USA for Prime Video, which documented the lives of an elite class of youngsters who race mini off-road trucks called mod karts.
In 2017, UTVs started to encroach on short-course racing and began growing in popularity, being more affordable than trucks. The problem that began, however, was when those racers turned 16, they would be forced to leave the class. And if they wanted to continue racing, they’d be required to upgrade to a larger truck class — which could cost close to a quarter of a million dollars — or, they could race a UTV, which didn’t perform as well by design.
In 2018, the idea of Battle Approved Motors came to life. Since then, the company has teamed up with several professional drivers, athletes and lifestyle brands industrywide.
Garnering feedback from the experts, they began to develop a super e-lite race model, expected in late 2022.
