When that NSE20 4000 handle breaks down the losers boards will be having very nasty readings with the gains board having one or two stocks only!

People seem to have forgotten GFC's ulcers central when fear sentiment hits the max reading gauge with days of no stock gainers!

Those may have been painful days but were great times to invest too.I got into BAT then ,today i enjoy over 30% dividend yield.Another opportunity is knocking although i doubt the GFC levels will present.

When S&P and Dow break some key levels, things will start rolling very fast! China is just a distraction. Stay focussed.

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!

You pulled those words right out of my mouth.It is very disigenuous of the US,UK,Europe et al to look at china as the cause of the turmoil while pretending to be the beacons of economic growth prototypes.

The chinese are being schooled in lesson 101 on the perils of market meddling.The other culprits are in the final class session and the consequences will be worse.Far much worse.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.

You know things are getting interesting when there are only 3 stocks with gains. Who doesn't love this market?

I wish the Techies on this forum would tell us how long it will be before it stops...in the meantime we keep buying.

One can only estimate market tops and bottoms. The topping signs were there from Q3 2014. At the moment I don't foresee any bottom signs yet as long as we have CBK in the current mood of hiking rates. Then add on to that the global selloff and the cocktail gets very potent. When NSE20 exhibits excess fear at least then we can say the bottom is almost there. But since the start of the selloff people are still in the hope mood. Hope during selloffs means more pain is in the way. Extreme fear/pessimism is what marks bottoms.

The hope language is what I have highlighted. This market has a lot of this language floating around in the forum. We have acres to fall.

Guys! Someone please explain this math

Average Down:
bought 1500 centum shares @63 bob = sh94,500
say the share goes down to 35 bob smile , invest another 50,000 ~1400 shares
TOTAL investment = 94,500+50,000 = sh 144,500 for 2900 shares
Average price sh(94,500+50,000)/(1500+1400) shares = 49.48 bob

If the share was to rise to 60 bob, then investment value = sh60*2900 shares = sh174,000

Sell and buy later:
Sell all 1500 shares at 50 bob 50*1500 = sh75,000
say the share goes down to 35 bob smile, invest all the money back and the additional 50,000 to the stock ~3500 shares (125000/35)
TOTAL investment = 75,000+50,000 = sh 125,000
If the share was to rise to 60 bob, then investment value = sh60*3500 shares = sh210,000

Is this correct? How is it you make more money option 2 unlike averaging down??

You do make more, but less than you think. You forgot the 'loss' between initial buying and selling prices (sh 19,500).

Applause A very good question, moreso to value investors. I have a feeling someone will say, one can't predict the bottom. So just keep buying!d'oh!

Your math is right. Based on the share prices used, sell and buy later with top up beats averaging down. The key is that your exit price (50) is higher than your re-entry price (35).

I am very glad you are taking the time to figure out your situation. On my initial post I did not provide this scenario which was an oversight on my part. My apologies. I'm also sure you have deduced by now what it will take to make a profit if you use a hold-only (no additional funds) strategy.

Apart from that, there is also significant commission on selling and buying back in, then selling again
