#579 RE: Heartland99 #578

That is a really good idea. Each incremental decline is a larger percentage decline than the previous purchased decline. In your example the first purchase was based upon a 17% decline, the second purchase would have been on a 20% decline, and the third purchase would have been on a 26% decline, etc.

This is something I had never thought about. Gives me something to serious consider.

Guess the first question that comes to mind is when do you sell after making a couple of consecutive purchases?

One thing comes to mind is that if you sold the shares bought on a decline when they recovered to the previous purchase price you would have a good LIFO profit. The shares bought at $4.15 would be sold when they reached $5.00 for a 20% profit; the shares bought at $3.30 would be sold when they reached $4.15 for a profit of 26% profit, etc.

Is that the way one would do their Sells? Or, do you have another method?

Thanks for sharing this idea with me.
