The "buying the dip" trading motive is evident when traders buy falling stocks in the hope of a bottoming out – in other words, the imminent turnaround. This is what happened last week with the stock of vaccine producer . The security gave up a good part of its gains – due to the uncertainty surrounding the new Corona variant Omikron. The reason for this is likely to be statements by the company's CEO Stephane Bance. In an interview, he spoke of the presumed "considerable decline" in the effectiveness of existing vaccines due to Omikron and of months of vaccine adjustment processes, thus curbing investor fantasies.

He justifies the sell as follows: "Hypoport certainly remains exciting in the long term; however, this platform for insurances is not taking off as well as hoped, so I don't expect much momentum here in the short term." The Hypoport trade was a complete success for Hamann. He sold the shares of the German parent company of several technology companies from his wikifolio TomsTrends‘nTrades for a profit of over 200 percent.
