"Overall, I like to get into positions by steps. I don't think I ever bought a big position with a single buy. I have sold some in a single sell when I decided that I don't believe the company anymore. Though mostly, I sell in steps too." Jurgis Bekepuris: That's my preferred way to buy also. And my preference as well as regards selling (i.e. selling in steps). Every few years I seem to go for a big position with a single buy. -- That's generally not worked out well for me. I'm tempted again now with several stocks though -- some stocks near decade lows, still apparently earning good money, and if not bought quickly may move up from their lows (as financials have since their nadir of July 15).
