[QUOTE="Brownslave688, post: 3729869, member: 34439"] It does erase the loses in a way because it brings your breakeven point way down. Your breakeven point for a 50% loss is a 100% gain. That's only if you don't add any new money in. The figures here do not matter at all I'm keeping them small to make the math easy. The math is the same no matter what. I have 20k in stock XYZ I bought at $100 It drops to $50. If I leave this be I need a 100% gain to break even. BUT let's say At $50 I buy another 20k. Now I have just significantly decreased the gains I need to break even. Now I only need a 50% gain to break even and if the stock gets back to $100 I've made a good amount of money. [/QUOTE]
