Is is advisable to WAPO
This may be not relevant ,
But just an example:
Can you please check yahoo finance and see the sock price of General Electric 1960 to 2011,
Can you see: around 1960's 1990 Buyers has to wait about 30 years to come to break even .
Then one who purchased around in 2000, still in the que for waiting...
About your Buying again. IMHO it will be a blast..
You should not average your positions when you have a loss, what you shod do is exactly opposite. When you have profit you should buy more in pull backs.. ( how to find those holy pull backs is a problem?? )
{ " Cut the losses and let the profit run " }
Since you are already thinking to average,
(IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BURN:)
If i am you, this is how i do.
( I assume you guys all have knowledge about market cycles / Elliott wave theory etc..)
Say i buy 100 shares @ 980, (point A)
(like you have done)
Now i want to get out.. with some profit or at least break even. It is going down like hell...
I am willing to risk my capital more ( here you have to make a choice
) an i know if i play right, i can rescue my investment. If this gone wrong, i have to bear more loss..
So, rescue can be done only in correction wave.. so what i have to do is bring my average to correction wave. (point B) then exist in small profit or at break even ..
So ASSUMING (predicting is bad thing
) correction will goes to Rs 300 /=
I try to make my average to 290/= { 300 is for profit
}
so, I should buy .. 980*100+280*x shares=290*(x +100) , x shares..
Do the math and find your X...
If you are having large capital.. then no problem..
