From time to time, readers and clients ask what they should do when stocks they own drop in price. Here’s one related question we sometimes hear:
“What’s the difference between ‘averaging down’ and ‘averaging in’?”
The short answer is “not much,” at least on the surface. The longer but more accurate answer is that both aim to gain by reacting in a consistent way to stock price fluctuations, while neglecting the fact that short-term fluctuations expose you to a substantial random element. The random element can work for you or against you.
