Normally i would say your both right on the avg down part.
In this market/economy i feel safer avging down on a OTC/PK than i do BB lol
At least in otc/PK land you have a chance of fluff/scam/con PR to come out and boost PPS (in this economy ill take a double any day of the week)
I own right around 250 BB stocks and if i had been avg down any of them id be in a world of hurt right now. (less chance of fluff and more chances of negative PR (truth about econimic pitfalls affecting that comp directly)
otc land, pk land .... avg down right now in this econimic market is really a "safer" (not guaranteed of course) play.
Dont get me wrong, in a normal economic condition this is of course the exact opposite.
