really don't believe in averaging down
may end up getting a lot of money stuck in one counter that you don't have excess money for other counters when better opportunity comes
when you buy a counter whose price is going down against your purchase price, this is just like your woman's heart is drifting further and further away from you
in trying to average down a counter, it is just like trying to hold onto someone who no longer loves you, because letting go is not easy, you feel that you have already spent too much time and money on 'her'
when face with such a situation, either you move over, dump her, look for a new love (buy other more promising counters and/or cut loss if you can)
or you just pray that someday her heart will return to you (not doing anything, hoping that share price will one day come back to your purchase price)
actually buying/selling shares is just like handling men/women relationship
it's your call, to let go or to pray if things get messy and ugly!
hope you find your 'love' soon !
