Thoughts in Arts: Averaging Down



I really don't have any problems averaging down - that is, if I'm Investing.
But when it comes to trading, Averaging down is a big NO-NO.

Some traders when stuck, would find their hope rekindled when their issue rallies.
And if they have the money, they add to their losing position.

This kind of situation is like finding light dangling in some pitch black abyss.



Ain't that Light just pretty you'd touch it? 







Well, most traders just don't see the BIG Picture. 





There are always Big Evil Fishes behind these rallies.


Of course.. It's just me talking.

    This post reminds me of EDC yesterday (Friday).
    It's up @ 5.20+... then at the closing, it's down @5.0+

    Dead cat bounce.

      but after 4 years, it becomes 5.0+.
      I therefore conclude Zee Freaks is right.

    Hi sir, when is the right time to add more positions to a stock that you own? Previously from one of your blog you mentioned that when you sell one company, you use the money to add to your current positions.

      Adding on breakouts would be the safest way.

      averaging down is when you add to your losing position. There are others who suggest to average down to lessen the loss but the truth is it will just magnify your loss.
