Smart Insights
📉 In Loss: Currently 20.0% down. Averaging down can help recovery.
🎯 Break-Even Tip: Buy 40 more shares to lower avg to 84,000. Only 5% rise needed for break-even.
📊 Required Rise: Without averaging down, price needs to rise 25.0% to break even.
💡 Averaging Effect: Buying 10 more shares reduces required rise from 25.0% to 12.5% (-12.5%p).
✅ Good Entry Point: 10-20% drop is typically a good range for averaging down.
