Westport is a perfect example of a ‘story’ stock.
If the story plays out the rewards could be very big.
On the other hand, if the story does not work out, a total loss of capital is almost inevitable. (And with WPRT there a quite a few IFs).
Most of the posters on this board avoid story stocks like the plague - it is very ‘un-Saul’.
Some would say that if you want to play the natural gas angle CLNE offers a similar upside, but has ways to succeed whether or not the WPRT story plays out, so would give you a higher chance of success.
An investment in WPRT or CLNE is very risky, so if you decide to roll the dice, only a very small percentage of your portfolio should be committed.
