This was the question: Palantir: My $100 Bet on AI: Can I Double Up for Free Shares?
Almost a year ago, I embarked on a modest yet calculated experiment in investing: I bought a small position in Palantir Technologies (PLTR), applying my Double Up Free Stock Strategy. The goal? See if this technique could let me earn “free shares” in one of the most talked-about AI-driven companies.
Here’s how it all unfolded:
The Timeline
- December 18, 2023: I purchased 6 shares of Palantir at $18.22/share, investing a total of $109.32.
- November 18, 2024: After the stock soared, I sold 1.85 shares at $59.32/share, bringing in $109.29.
This trade recovered my initial investment while leaving me with 4.15 shares of Palantir that I now own outright—for free.
What This Means
- Full Recovery: By selling just 1.85 shares, I recouped my entire initial investment of $109.32, achieving my goal of owning “free” shares.
- Remaining Upside: The remaining 4.15 shares are a bonus—an opportunity to benefit from Palantir’s growth with zero risk.
Why Palantir?
Palantir stood out as a leader in AI, with a growing customer base and innovative products tailored for enterprise and government use. Its potential was clear, and the strategy paid off as the stock tripled in value over the year.
Lessons from the Experiment
- Patience Pays Off: The road wasn’t smooth, but staying the course was key to reaping the rewards.
- Strategic Selling Works: Timing the partial sale allowed me to lock in gains while holding onto upside potential.
- AI is the Future: Companies like Palantir highlight how transformative AI investments can be.
This strategy might not make you rich overnight, but it’s a calculated way to build a low-risk portfolio with plenty of upside. Want to learn more about how I use the Double Up Free Stock Strategy? Check out the full explanation in my earlier Spotify case study
