Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Stock Averaging
Stock averaging (also called cost averaging) is a strategy where you buy more shares of a stock at different price points. This helps spread your risk and can improve your average purchase price.
Averaging Down vs Averaging Up
- Averaging Down: Buying more shares when price falls. Reduces average cost but increases exposure to potentially declining stock.
- Averaging Up: Buying more shares as price rises. Confirms uptrend but increases average cost.
When to Average
- Only average in fundamentally strong stocks
- Have a clear strategy and target price
- Don't average just because price dropped
- Consider overall portfolio allocation
