Michael,

The strategy I have been using is: build your long position in increments.

If you sense the stock is priced in the "right" range, you can start out by purchasing 1/4 of your total, intended position and wait. Should the stock go down, you can buy more at a lower price.

If, however, the stock goes up after your initial purchase, you can congratulate yourself and do the same--buy more.

Ibexx

PS: trying to catch it at the lowest trough is merely an ego trip, IMO.
