It's about getting more value when prices are depressed.
At a level of uncertainty that one is comfortable with.
In any case, no one strategy works for everyone an investor needs to understand him/herself.
There is more than one path that leads to Rome.
The market is fluid in nature, circumstances change, moats do widen and narrow over time.
Best to stay nimble. And since it is Hunger Games season...."May the odds be in your favour"

It's very, very difficult to time the market. You can never tell when it will collapse. And after the cave in, you can never tell when it will be a volcano again. But if you can be patient, you will witness the cave in and the volcano. The problem is how many cave in - volcano cycles you have for your lifetime?
Also after each cave in what you do most probably will determine your investment outcome.
So do you have the Patience, Money, Wrenching Guts and Longevity?
Last and definitely not least, do you have Lady Luck or God's Blessings?
Of course do you have diligence?
WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.
