So, are you suggesting buy.. if price drops, then get stopped out versus buying by averaging down? That's an interesting problem.. and would depend on how much lower a stock drops below your stopped out price before buying again to be stopped out again... Compared to amount of capital invested or shares invested total average cost over time. Compared to how long it takes for a stock to rise to what threshold. I'm assuming the stocks will come back 50% eventually but lets say 33% of highs.. though many won't come close. '29 eh? That took quite a while.. don't think either method worked particularly well unless you bought heavy into big caps near the bottom and held on for 20 years... or kept money in debt instruments.
