No matter what ‘sage’ investment advice you may hear, don’t fall into the trap of averaging down. Especially when it comes to low-priced stocks. If you trade blue-chip stocks like Microsoft or Apple, maybe it could work for you. But here we’re talking specifically about day trading and swing trading.
Thing is, these are very volatile stocks that tend to spike and drop quickly. And too many new traders fall into the trap of trying to apply a traditional investment mindset to these volatile stocks. Today, Tim shows you with a specific stock. Watch the full video for a complete breakdown.
With this stock, you see it spikes ... and then drops hard, over and over again. If you average down in the stock every time it spikes, and then it fails, you can’t make a profitable trade. Look at the long-term chart. The stock fades and fades.
Keep in mind, the stock we’re looking at here — CEI — has had a few reverse splits through the years. This stock is fading. It’s a great example of why averaging down doesn’t always work.
If you're trying to add to a losing position, averaging down into every spike, it'll do the opposite of what you intend. Now you're trapped because it moves so quickly to the downside.
So, yeah, the stock bounces, but those bounces get smaller and smaller ... to the point where they're barely perceptible. Because every spike gets slammed. And the reverse splits dilute the stock even further, dilute the share count. You can get trapped. Getting back to profitability on a stock like this is near impossible.
This isn’t unusual in the land of low-priced stocks at all. We love these stocks for the momentum, the potential for meaty gains. But you need to understand why you should never average down into a loser. If you're a losing trader … if you're inconsistent … if you're struggling and adding to losers… that's loser behavior.
That’s not a smart, viable way to trade. And it's not a winning strategy over time.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Nick Neal says:

    Funny that I watch this video at this moment in time. I am running through trade reviews from 2019 and come across a profit I took on CEI when I first started trading my live account back in July. I was meant to see this.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andy Salo says:

    Been averaging down on $CYDY since 2015…yes long term, but recent advancements in the FDA process and trial results have the stock at an inflection point. I am now up over $100K on my position just in the last 3 weeks. Should just get better from here. Agree, they are rare….and $CYDY is a gem.

    Tim you look like you mean business in your still picture on your YouTube video 😂 you look like don’t mess with me!! 💪🏽 😂

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kema Wellington says:

    Agreed. Averaging down is not suitable for pennystocks but ideal for super long term investments. Also I've gotten lucky in the past and averaged down into a company that got acquired the following week 😃

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Leonardo Caycho says:

    This is a short trade. Who ever would play this long deserves the loss
