Updated: Jul 30, 2022

KEY POINTS:

🔑 Returns received will start to magnify when buying into stocks which prices have fallen 20% below their all-time high level.


🔑 Its a much better strategy to add more positions for the main holdings in your portfolio, rather than adding new assets just because they are cheap.


🔑 Not all stocks will bounce back to their all-time high price.



TOOL:

    • for extended period of time and their price did not recover.
