Bought Equity @ 52 and Centum @ 60. Would you advise to sell and buy at a lower price e.g Equity sub 40 or buy more of the shares and average down? Never been in a bear before!

Both financially sound companies with high growth,take advantage of the cheap prices and bulk up. The when a bull appears, sell half of those u bought cheaply

Hold on to the shares, sell after 5 years then come to Wazua and buy all elders and chiefs a drink as a way of saying thank you.

If you sell you will loose .add more to reduce you avarage buying price . If you bought equity at 52 and now it's 40 and you choose to add more then the total BP will be(40+52 =92 then 93/2= 46) 46 which will be lower than the 52 you bought. I learnt from veterans like boris, vvs, Pesanane and the rest. You don't sell during bear instead you load but you sell more during bullish and buy less because price are overpriced . ...I stand to be corrected


the trend of the market is key if you will make money with your strategy because we can be in a sell-off and you are loading up.but for nse right now yep this strategy will work fine.

are your really sure about that averaging down mathematics?where did you learn it from.

The wisdom in you guys kweli. The short time I've been in stocks I have learnt much more from Wazua than what my broker would have taught me in a million years.. Will do the math on hold and average down.

@sparkly, drink after 5 years? let me save a bottle now to start aging.. smile

Haha, thought as much about that mathematics. I hate to say he or she is wrong given that could be correct assuming a scenario where the investor buy an amount equal to current holding once-off in which case the average price would be calculated as per the example. However, in order to generalize, it is important to note that the resulting price will be a weighted average.

Ha ha I did 3R for those who know it . That's why I said I stand to be corrected .but the weighted avarage sounds ideal and sound . I was just trying to drive a concept but the math involved was kaput. Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly

Why did you buy at 60? If the same reasons apply then, if you can, but more at lower prices. Think like Warren Buffett. There is a lot of information online behind his reasoning. Don't cry about a discount. Stock up when there's a discount.

@vvs You would have made a poor tearcher! thanks God you aren't a teacher. Just like diff students are at diff levels of learning, stock investors are at diff levels...Explain to each according to their level...the lower levels need arm holding for guidance. Give explanations and relevant examples just like @sniper did..You aren't at per with him/her.

The best teachers want to make you think 👍🏽😜
And why repeat what others are explaining so well?

Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett
