Agree 100% . Averaging down on a stock in a strong downtrend is foolish. I did this many times back in the day and would always try and rationalize that the stock was cheap and still had a lot of growth. Of course I was a technical guy and was using the valuation as an excuse. Bottom line: averaging down are for trades that went bad and a trader that didn't utilize a proper stop strategy.
Sad to see AAPL go down They [Jobs] have given the world some great stuff- let's be honest here! So good that others want to steal/imitate it. What's that saying about "imitation is.." ?! Let's not forget they have a lot of cash. A lot of flexibility. AAPL will live to fight another day! Take that to the bank.
