How to manage the risk of buying the dips?
Dips in fundamentally good stocks are good buying opportunities. You may earn handsome returns in the long run if you are ready to take this risk. Buy the dip is a strategy usually adopted by long term investors.
But what if the price drop never goes back up again?
What if the company has experienced a shift in its underlying fundamentals and which caused the dip?
Then, you will have to suffer a great loss or might have to wait a long time for a comeback in the stock prices if the volatility continues for a long time.
Above all, seeing the stock in red is a psychological discomfort.
So my recommended strategy is buy when rebounding after the dip
Buy when rebounding after the dip
- Watch the dip diligently.
- Read and collect as much as updates on the stock.
- Analyse the patterns and trends.
- Recognize when there is a comeback from the fallen value and then jump in.
This is not same as buy a bounce strategy where in you are not looking for a dip due to some market corrections or so, but instead you are aiming stocks which fluctuates in a range mostly (For example, you found some stocks which varies in the range 100-110/- You buy it when it goes to 100 and sell high after a quick bounce as expected). And there you are quite sure of comeback as you are purchasing the stock at the support level only and not a dip or crash level.
For short term investments I go with “buy a bounce strategy” usually. But for a long term investment buy when rebounding after the dip and not at the dip. (So Are you a Trader or an Investor?)
Buy when rebounding after the dip means you are buying the stock after it has just escaped from the dip.
Advantages of buying when rebounding after the drip
- You won’t have the depressed waiting period of stock being in red
- Stock rebounds to its previous high very quickly
