You are correct....I suck at timing and tend to get in too early and sell too early (like my UVE at $3.60, waaaaaaa)
EGMI, however, I finally got lucky and loaded most of my shares in the .20s, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
But I have recognized my timing sucks so I always buy a starter and scale in over time myself. Once in a while as with EGMI I end up averaging up which feels emotionally great for a change, lol. With others I'm slowly learning to be more patient. I have a ton of news picks I've kept on radar trying to find the right timing for entry instead of being so anxious to jump in, scared to "miss it" and end up buying too early as you point out.
That said, I have another pick that Mike & I have been researching for the last week that we are going to unveil even though we haven't finished buying. Figure out your own entry, but it looks like it's gotta be close to a bottom (listed NYSE stock down over 90% that smells like a 10-30 bagger in the making. We think the analysts have it all wrong). Doing just a bit more research then will say what it is. Only got a tiny starter in it for the reason you say -- my dumb arse is always in too early and I want cheaper shares this time! hehe... :)
