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 Air Canada), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Air Canada 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, Air Canada's shares have ranged in value from as little as $11.52 up to $19.802. 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 Air Canada's is 2.416. This would suggest that Air Canada's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
