Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Lufthansa), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Lufthansa is a major part of the OTCQX, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Over the last 12 months, Lufthansa's shares have ranged in value from as little as $6.7 up to $10.82. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (OTCQX average) beta is 1, while Lufthansa's is 1.516. This would suggest that Lufthansa's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Lufthansa P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Lufthansa's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 4x. In other words, Lufthansa shares trade at around 4x recent earnings.
However, Lufthansa's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
Lufthansa's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $3.9 billion (£3.1 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Lufthansa's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
