Stock Market under President Biden

I never said any such thing.

I also don't see how you come up with "80% gains" with the transactions that you described.  As SF pointed out, you are doing nothing more than "dollar cost averaging".

I'll try to outline it in simple terms using simple math.  If I'm reading what you wrote correctly your transactions were as follows.

Initial position of 20 shares @ 8.97 = $179.40
20 more shares at "8.50ish" is 8 x 8.50 = $170.00
40 more shares at "8 ish" is 40 x 8.00 = $320.00
You "did it again" when it went "sub 8" so I assume 160 shares at "sub 8" (we'll assume 7.90)  160 x $7.90 = $1264.00

So your total "investment" is $179.40 + $170.00 + $320.00 + $1264.00 = $1933.40

Then you sold 60 shares "somewhere around 10 a share".  60 x $10.00 = $600.00

How exactly have you made an "80% gain"?  Especially since this is before taxes and fees?

I see where our discrepancy is. When I shaved the 60 shares is where I think my investment started. You are seeing it from an overall perspective
Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.
