A simple rule of thumb according to the books..
1. For traders/speculators buying goreng stocks with weak valuation or fundamental, have a cut loss policy, whether it is 10% or 15%, etc.
Do NOT catch a falling knife by buying more shares. Preserve your capital by cashing out and live to fight another day.
2. For true investors, look at the valuation and fundamental of the company. If nothing has changed and the price dropped, we can consider averaging down by buying more of the stocks.
My 2 cents...

Since there are many traders here, just for sharing...

4.Markets are never wrong – opinions often are.5.The real money made in speculating has been in commitments showing in profit right from the start.
6.As long as a stock is acting right, and the market is right, do not be in a hurry to take profits.
7.One should never permit speculative ventures to run into investments.
8.The money lost by speculation alone is small compared with the gigantic sums lost by so-called investors who have let their investments ride.
9.Never buy a stock because it has had a big decline from its previous high.10.Never sell a stock because it seems high-priced.

I am no expert. Some checklist which may help us to make an informed decision...
(1) Are the glove stocks making tons of money?
(2) Is the valuation for certain glove stocks still attractive?
(3) Is Covid-19 now still raging across the world?
(4) Is the vaccine for Covid-19 available now for free for all the citizens of the world?
(5) Can I afford to buy the glove stocks now and hold it without panicking?
(6) Can I change my mind set from “The sky is falling, the price of stocks are crashing” to “The glove stocks are now selling at a discount of 20%. Mega sales is here”.
My 2 kupang as usual…

Good morning folks. In about 8 days of trading, the blood bath in glove stocks are as follows:
4 Heavenly Kings1. Top Glove -22.24%
2. Supermax -33.42%
3. Kossan -32.25%
4. Harta -26.48%
2nd Liners1. Adventa -73.67%
2. Careplus - 51.21%
3. Ruberex -43.53%
4. Comfort -58.95%
From my previous posts, you know where I stand on this. This morning, the rubber glove stocks is going up. Is it a dead cat bounce or a true recovery?
P/S: Look at the losses for Adventa and Comfort. It is truly eye watering. You need a 100% gain to recover back a 50% loss. Is it possible?
