Sounds like a great formula for losing money with a volatile stock.
If you believe in this piece of crap then why don't you just continue to average in as it drops?
It is at 135, so I played this the way I was hoping to. I have a stop at 120 but am considering tightening that or maybe even selling here. I think we could see closer to 100 on this one before it becomes a legitimate long candidate. You see how your idea of averaging down would have not worked here. You would have missed it completely.

Made a lot of money on this one today. I now have a stop at 120. Former resistance around 121 hopefully turning into support. If we can hold above 120 until the next unlock on the 20th 150 will be the next meaningful level. if it goes below I will regroup and look to get back in around 110 or even 105.
Now with spcx up to 127.36 I am tightening my stop to 120 to protect gains. Let me know if you need more advice, I am happy to help. Oh and I have a tight stop on NBIS of 178 with a 181 purchase rate.
For Example, NBIS stopped yesterday at 206.23. I just bought back some of my position at 181 and change and set another stop. I like this long term but want to take advantage of better entry points. Do you see where a $25 difference can be beneficial?

If you get stopped out at 105 and it pops back to 115 are you going to repurchase it at 115 and set another stop at 105?
You are new to this aren't you? I mean, it depends. I am not basing my decision on FOMO like it sounds like you are. I am minimizing losses and looking at resistance and looking for stocks with a tailwind. Not blindly buying because something drops and I am fearful it might pop.
It is called minimizing your losses and I do it on ALL highly volatile, high beta stocks and have been for the better part of 20 years. Do you use AI to assist in your investing? Claude is way more aggressive in setting stops for high beta stocks than I am. It can save you a shitload. My stop on NBIS popped at 206.225 this morning and it is at 189.40 right now. I saved a shitload. No bags left. I will reassess tomorrow with the ability to buy more shares at a lower price tomorrow. If you lived through the dot com and 2007-8, you would have stops on all of your high beta stocks as well.
Now that is a great strategy to lose money.

so you'll lock in a loss and then buy lower? how does that make any sense?
Absolutely, my avg cost was a little under 112 so I will take a 6 dollar loss instead of a $20 loss a share. I will also buy back if it shows life. I don't keep buying down, its just bad math. Do you not use stops? I used to not. My NBIS triggered at 206.225 this morning. It is now at 197. If I buy back now I will have roughly 4 more shares than I did when I sold. I am going to watch it and see if it doesn't drop more before I get in. By my rule, I rarely buy back in the same day a stop hits.
I bought some at close. I like it under 115, I do have a stop at 105 but will buy more if it drops into the low 90's.

I am out completely, stops met closer to 200. I will wait until earnings, this could go down more, currently 181.

Good. Give me $175 I’d like 100 more.
The only way I touch this before earnings is if if goes below 185 or maybe even 180..

I have a 210 stop, but i am riding the Roller coaster for now. If it triggers I might wait until after earnings to re-establish a position,
You might be correct. I held off buying at 220 and actually sold some. I am looking for an entry under 205. Hate this long weekend without trading. Could screw me if Meta comes out with a statement that they are not competing.

213.26, I don't think she is done dropping.

216.5...

It's at 221.6, if it drops below 220 it could free fall to under 210 maybe even close to 200 so I wouldn't go all in yet.

221.50 currently, I am buying under 220, and loading up under 210 if it gets to either. I have a good position but it might be too attractive at that price...

I bought some at 232.5 but am holding off and will start buying more if it starts to dip below $220. I have a decent position already. It's a high beta stock so I am thinking maybe under 210 again but I will buy more starting at 220.

Gino's wins on veal, both the chop and the cutlets. But DG's is good. I enjoy both but find myself at DG's more than Gino's.

I answered it the first time. It went up more under Biden than trump current term. Now let’s move on from politics
Well there is your answer. You are talking about once the Fed took over and started lowering rates and you are also including the Trump bump in October 24'. What I am telling you is that if you compare apples, it is not comparable You are saying you made more money over a four year period than over a year and a half period. Well of course you did, especially if you are DCA'ing (adding to your 401k) into a down market. At this point in Biden's term the stock market was tanking.You would have been down on your investments. We went from early 22' to almost the end of 24' before we hit new highs in all of the index's under Biden.

You keep avoiding my question. I will ask again.

So you keep avoiding my questions. Compare the presidents first 2 years and let me know how you made more under Biden. The stock market was shite in 22 and falling. We are hitting all time highs every other week.
