Today if you sold the KPLC shares and bought into KCB/Safaricom or I&M/NCBA, am sure in 2 years you will be better of than you are now.
I learnt that lesson of averaging down the hard way with KQ and in business. If you find yourself in a bad investment with dim future prospects, BAIL OUT. Dust yourself, swallow your pride and look for better investments. You will save yourself a lot of time and money in future. Also do the math first. How much do you have to commit to average down to the current price?

How much do you have to commit to average down to the current price? My little math background tells me that it's not mathematically possible to average down to the current price, unless you 1) buy an infinite extra amount of that share or 2) are expecting the price to go up e.g your ABP is 20, current price is 10, buy extra to average down to 15 and hope price will go up to 15

There must be high hope of a price recovery. Otherwise no need to average down

The average of two numbers will always be somewhere between the higher number and the lower number. It can't equal the higher or the lower number. Life is short. Live passionately.

In shilling terms, KES 10 and KES 20 per share are totally different propositions especially when holding large amount of stock. Averaging down can be done but with high caution
