You ONLY average down when a stock you bought hasnt changed fundamentally but price wise as gone down... you want to tell me i wount average down on kk at sub 7 ??? if you believe uchumi isnt worth more that 7 bob in the future just sell your lot..

The verdict? Its a dumb move. The conclusion was: at any one time, only buy the BEST counter. averaging down is a fundamental based strategy. Averaging down a stock with weakening fundamentals is very dumb, rather accept your mistake, sell and look for a better one. If a good stock's price goes down, buy buy buy. Averaging down and trading do not appear on the same page. Life is short. Live passionately.

I don't believe in averaging down. Stop loss is the way to go. Sold KCB @19.50, COOP @13.90 and BBK @12.80 I think. Waiting for Dec to enter again! The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

When the market changes from its current state, then yes. Right now when you do the stop loss, don't buy anything else. What share can you buy now, and expect it to rally? The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself
