algebra my friend...one of the few useful levels of math past elementary

x = desired new agv price
y = original # of shares you own
c = your current avg cost/share
z = # of new shares you need to buy
n = new price you're considering buying at

your example would never work as you can't avg down to the current lower price while having shares above the current price, but the formula is

x = (yc+zn)/(y+z) ---> solve for Z

if you had y=15 shares at c=$1.2/share, you want to buy z shares at $1.05 for a desired new avg of x=$1.1

1.1 = ((15*1.2)+ 1.05z)/15+z...z = 30 shares you'd need to buy @ 1.05 to average down to 1.1

Yes i typed all that out because i'm a nerd :hamster:
:ohhh:

I didn't see this yesterday. I'm going to look at it right now. I appreciate you providing the answer.

1st Round Playoff Exits
I'm waiting for Amazon to hit <$100, I can see it coming.
Buy my shares and come back in 4 years and see where I stand.

I told my boy, we may just go the rest of the year without ever seeing green again.

:pachaha:
We still got a long way to imo.

My target date to start buy super heavy is July 11th.


When the big banks report consumer spending it’s over :wow:


Everyone make sure your savings is in place…

And you have some money on the side to buy.
