On any individual truly random data set you might get a lot of compression, a small amount of compression, or even expansion, depending on what patterns have randomly occurred in the data set. But there is no current lossless compression algorithm that can take truly random data and systematically compress it to be smaller than the original.

No i am not wrong.
