Thought I would start this thread as AMP is resuming trading today(I think).
A couple of months ago a thread was started that was suggesting the purchase of lower priced blue chip shares, AMP was one example given, of quality regarded as cheap. The then price was around $8.00. The price then fell to around $6.00 before rebounding to above $8.50.
If as expected AMP trades at new lows because of the new writedowns, then the TREND is just continuing, and anyone who bought at $8.00 is suffering huge losses in percentage terms.
My question to people who employ this type of trading is; Where do you place your stoploss?? How wrong do you have to be before you get out??
To me, the buying the low, or averaging down is just plain DUMB, and AMP is helping to prove my point.
