I am not a trader; i am more of an investor. For good stocks, i would prefer to buy when the price is right to average down. Of course, the other strategy is also to take profit and buy more when the price is right. However, if the earnings suggest that the company is not performing and if fundamentals change, then i would be better to take profit or even cut at a loss; no point holding on to lousy stocks. With the exception of SREITs, I generally prefer to buy ETFs so that i have an easy time deciding in times like these![Chuckle]
It all depends if the war escalates and if there will be further rate hikes or cuts. These few years, prices move more based on ‘market mood’ rather than fundamentals. There will of course people who want to buy when it’s cheaper or take profit now before it drops further. Expecting the next month to be quite volatile.
