RE:Not sureWell old friend, if your investment account isn't thanking you yet, it will be one day. Nobody knows how to time the market perfectly in the short run. NOBODY.
In the long run though, if you educate your self enough about a company, you can push the odds VERY highly in your favour of making some really good money, if you buy when the share price seems out of favour.
I hold long in almost all of my companies, and the reason is that for me, it is by far the least risky way of putting down a favourable return year after year.
Cheers!

Perhaps I am buying wrong but when I put in a bid and don't get my order filled I just end up paying the asking price after awhile because I am buying for a hold and don't want the stock to get away from me. Sure I get caught and end up paying more when the stock drops at the end of the day. But I don't want the hassle of trying to time things perfect as I have also lost out because price got away from me. I buy with a plan, some times it works and some times it doesn't. First I have heard of what you are suggesting. But as they say you learn something new every day.
