think my next stock im adding to my portfolio is going to be msft, this virus has exposed companies wfh culture Microsoft owns azure and Skype so can see microsoft easily increasing in value the next coming years. The only real competitor to azure is amazon

brehs, apologies if this is a silly question. But lets say you buy 2 shares for $10 in a company, one share costs $5. Then the next day a single share for that company now costs $10 and you buy 2 shares for $20. How does the company now look like in your portfolio since you bought additional shares but at a different price? does another copy of the company appear in your portfolio because additional shares at a different price?

No one is buying a $1000 phone without a job.

Damn, they're saying next week is going to be the worst week since 2008.

2.5 million unemployment claims. Up from 240K last week.

Average cost of $7.50

Two questions. Is that how much I will pay to buy the additional shares individually? And how did you calculate that?

Buy the dip had turned into sell every rally

Nah breh, you always pay the current market price.

Nah breh, you always pay the current market price.

but how will it look in your portifolio since you bought shares in a company at different prices? for example:

if I bought 20 shares in a company, one share being $20.55.
It will look like

$411
One share (average price): $20.55

But the next day one share now costs $18.10, and I decide to buy two shares which is $37?

How is the $18.10 taken into account since it's lower than $20.55

What's the new average price of share in the company I invested in or will stay at $20.55 per share?

Breh is just takes how much you've spent total and compares it to how much it would cost for that amount of shares at the current market price.

What you want to look at is your total gain in that column.
