Another term for averaging down I learned this last year (very painfully) is called, "Catching a Falling Knife". I did this with ASND, starting with 200 shares at 59, 200 at 41, 37, 35, then 31. At 22 1/2, I was out of money. Thankfully, it is back in the 50s!

Just because a stock price looks "cheap" doesn't mean it is a good time to buy.

I recommend buying several of the great books on Technical Analysis. They discuss stock chart patterns and the crowd psychology and behavior they represent. Understanding TA will improve your Buy-Hold-Sell decisions.
