SKS Technologies was up by around $1.20 at one point today. This could have been my very first real-life "spiffy-pop" (I hope I'm using that correctly - haha). I'll give myself a small pat on the back but not without first reflecting on a recurring theme with any of my winners, in terms of cognitive bias. It occurred to me today while driving home, that whenever I make an initial entry with the intention of buying more, and the stock shoots up by more than 5-10% from my buy price, I almost always fail to buy more on the way up. Definitely something to work on!
I'm sharing this with the group mainly for accountability. Putting this out there helps me stay focused on my growth areas. Sticking to the basics is key: if the thesis is on track and the valuation looks appealing, pull the trigger and buy more. Don’t just get sucked into buying more of stocks that have fallen just to average down.
Hopefully, sharing these experiences will be useful to others too.
