Understanding Stock Averaging
What is Stock Averaging?
- Buy additional shares at different price points over time
- Reduces impact of volatility on your investment
- Calculate weighted average cost of all purchases
- Helps determine your true cost basis for tax purposes
Why Average Your Stocks?
- Lower your average cost when buying dips
- Take advantage of market volatility
- Build positions gradually with less risk
- Reduce emotional decision-making
The Average Price Formula
The average price is calculated using a weighted average formula:
Average Price = Total Investment / Total Shares - Total Investment: Sum of (Quantity × Price) for all purchases
- Total Shares: Sum of all quantities purchased
This weighted average gives you the true cost per share, accounting for different quantities purchased at different prices.
Important Considerations
- • Don't chase losses - Only average down if company fundamentals remain strong
- • Set limits - Define maximum position size to avoid over-concentration
- • Consider fees - Brokerage fees can add up with multiple transactions
- • Tax implications - Average cost basis affects capital gains calculations
