All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

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 Ocean Power Technologies), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Ocean Power Technologies is a major part of the NYSE MKT, 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, Ocean Power Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.1825 up to $0.769. 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 (NYSE MKT average) beta is 1, while Ocean Power Technologies's is 2.097. This would suggest that Ocean Power Technologies's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
