🚨 The Brutal Math Behind “Buying the Dip” – Why Most Traders Go Broke
Let’s break down a truth few want to hear…
🔻 The Recovery Illusion:
Drop 10%? You need an 11% gain to break even.
Drop 50%? You need a 100% gain (that’s a full double).
Drop 90%? You need a staggering 900% return — just to get back to zero.
💡 This is why blindly Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) into losses can be dangerous.
🎭 The Influencer Illusion:
They scream “BUY THE DIP!” when it’s down 90%.
As it recovers, they chant “DIAMOND HANDS!”
Meanwhile?
They quietly sell as you finally break even.
Whales offload onto emotional retail traders — again and again.
✅ Want to Win in This Game?
Measure gains from the bottom, not from the last peak.
Don’t average down without a clear plan.
Take profits aggressively — 900% comebacks are unicorns.
💡 Golden Rule:
“If you wouldn’t buy at +900%, why are you holding at -90%?”
Drop a 💎 if you’ve felt this lesson in your portfolio.
Protect your capital — always.
