ABK...I think if you buy very small, then add if it dips more, but space your buys you might just come out very well. I started that way, but then it looked like it could be traded for a nice profit, I added over 1k shares in the 1.80s and that proved to be unwise. So now I'm back to 200 shares and when/if I add it will be more carefully. Lexi
