After all, “buying low and selling high” should be a good strategy to increase future returns, right?</p>\n<p>Well, in this case, yes and no.</p>\n<p>The chart below shows that, since the turn of the century, the average forward-year return of buying Amazon on any given day has been nearly 36%. Buying when the stock was undergoing a correction has increased those returns, but not by much: about 38%, on average.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/587a9f2bb799271dc5016289f7b5cef4\" tg-width=\"1100\" tg-height=\"658\"><span>Avg.
