Sigh.
I don't know what it is with me and Goldcorp [TSE:G]. I may have made a big mistake.
Last week Goldcorp was dropping and dropping and seemed to be hovering around $25. The 52 week range is 21.87 - 32.46 so it seemed there was way more upside than down, so I put in a large order at 24.75 ...... and got it.... and the stock continued down. It hit a 52 week low of $19.18, and I bought some more. Its around $21.36 now. My average cost is $23.31.
I should have stuck to my 'only buy if at least a 5% up movement'. Hopefully it will recover soon.
never average down
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree.
DeleteIf I had stuck to my 'buy on min. 5% up movement' I would have bought on an up trend at $20.13 and instead of complaining about a 7.35% drop I'd be crowing about a 6.36% increase.
