What “buy the dip” leaves out
Hypothetical example — not market data
An entry after a 20% drop can still lose half its value if the price falls from 80 to 40.
Methodology
Illustrative WHIUAE calculation. Linked references provide context, not observations for these inputs. Fictional indexed prices; 40/80 − 1 = −50% for the example buyer. Slang is not a risk control.
