Low liquidity is often seen as an absolute disadvantage in investing, like most things it is more nuanced than that. What if it can actually become an independent driver of returns, creating a Lollapalooza affect for the company who's value of float is increasing due to fundamentals: On liquidity and float: The users are buyers and sellers, and a connection is a possible trade between them. As the float's value rises, more people can take part: bigger funds, index trackers and market makers. Each newcomer adds a possible counterparty for everyone already trading. So, the number of possible trades, which is what liquidity really is, grows roughly with the square of the participants, not in a straight line. It also feeds itself, like any network. Liquidity attracts traders, because they can get in and out cheaply. Those traders add more liquidity, which pulls in more traders. Bid-ask spreads narrow, which lowers trading costs and brings in more volume. The majority of this was eloquently articulated by one of the most formidable minds I am aware of @sammutgabi. Our investment strategy leads us into a fair amount of low liquidity names, where the dynamic mentioned above can spark tantalizing returns such as $RYSAS $RYGO $RYSKF $RYSAS.IS
