Q: Greetings 5i team,
I noticed a question today asked by Tim concerning GSY and what a target price to enter a position would be. I added some shares today at about $179, which was above your suggested entry price of $170 but this purchase only raised my average cost / share to a little more than $160. In addition to the entry price, do you think that this is a good way to view such a purchase as well?
Thank you
SP

5i Research Answer:
Yes and no; the stock of course, does not know what an investor paid for it! But it is still important to track average price for tax purposes. We are generally comfortable with averaging up on stocks moving higher, but less comfortable average down on declining stocks. But we think GSY will be fine, over time.
