Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) recently did it again, hitting a fresh all-time high and cementing its status as one of 2025’s top-performing tech stocks. Up over 100% year-to-date, it’s become the poster child for the AI-driven rally, and investor confidence seems to be growing by the day.
Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR)
The momentum is undeniable. From defense contracts to AI infrastructure and government intelligence partnerships, Palantir is increasingly viewed as one of the few “real revenue” plays in a field still full of speculation. And the market is rewarding it accordingly.
But here’s the thing: I’m not buying.
Buy Low, Sell High, Not Chase Highs
My strategy has always been simple: buy low, sell high. Palantir might be the hottest name on Wall Street right now, but that doesn’t mean it fits my investment approach. In fact, I’m actively avoiding it at these levels.
Why? Because I don’t chase highs, and I definitely don’t FOMO into trades. I’ve learned the hard way that buying into hype at elevated prices often leads to regret, not riches.
Yes, Palantir is flying. But I prefer to stay grounded.
Risk-Averse? That’s Me.
I’m a risk-averse investor. I like clear value, strong fundamentals, and good entry points. Palantir may continue its meteoric rise, and if it does, I’ll genuinely be happy for those who believed early and held on. Every market needs winners and they deserve their moment.
But for me, the price feels stretched, the margin for error is thin, and the emotional temptation to "get in now before it's too late" is exactly what I try to avoid.
The Bottom Line
Palantir’s rally is impressive, and it may have more room to run. But not every rocket is meant to be ridden. Sometimes, the most powerful move an investor can make is no move at all.
I'll wait for better prices and stick to my plan. In the meantime, congrats to the holders. You’ve earned the win.
