Reddit users in a r/stocks thread [1] share mixed outcomes from 70-90% drawdowns: success stories include Amazon (AMZN) recovering from an 85% dotcom bust drop [1], Cloudflare (NET) turning $215→$45→$255 via averaging down [1], Palantir (PLTR) gaining seven figures after a 70% drop [1], and EOSE converting $60k underwater to $210k profit [1]. However, some (e.g., BlackBerry (BB) holders) see no recovery hope, and 90%+ drops are often viewed as terminal [1].
Historical data shows tech stocks (AMZN, Meta (META), Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX)) recover from massive drawdowns [2]. A 70% loss needs a 233% gain to break even; a90% loss requires900% [10]. Recovery timelines vary: structural (111mo), cyclical (50mo), event-driven (15mo) [5,7]. Effective strategies: dollar-cost averaging [11], Permanent Portfolio resilience [8], diversification [2].
Both agree recovery is rare but achievable. Reddit’s averaging down aligns with research’s focus on fundamental analysis to avoid permanent impairment [2]. Research adds mathematical context and timeline variations missing in Reddit anecdotes.
- Risks: Catching falling knives (permanent value loss), long structural bear market recovery times [5].
- Opportunities: Disciplined averaging down on strong fundamentals [2], diversification to survive drawdowns [2].
