BIDZ lost 75% Since I bought 100 shares for $ 1008.

I checked on Alexa that the online auctioneer’s website still attracts large number of visitors. So I figured I may average down (which usually is a bad idea!) by buying 90 more BIDS for about $230.

Here is my silly order:
Executed Size: 90

Executed Price: 2.47

Let’s see what happens.

    I first bought BIDZ at $14, held it above $20, and then watched it fall all the way to $2 last spring. After shaving off some, my average is now $4.18. I am doubling down after a 52 week low high of $2.15 yesterday.

    yea,

    it continues going down. I swear I won’t put one more cent on that sucker. Not even if it goes down to $ 0.1.

    Mgmt still has $$ authorized in their repurchase program, look at last weeks volume….they won’t let it fall too much. Also noteworthy is their recent increase in adwords spending, should be a good quarter. I am a long term holder & customer.

    Andrew,

    this doesn’t surprise me.
    There were strong doubts about morals of BIDZ management. We basically invested on a questionable company. We did not know at the time.
    I am not selling for 4 reasons:

    1) my losses are so wide (-74.51%) that I would just get peanuts if I sold
    2) people with questionable morals are capable of playing tricks to manipulate stock prices and make us small fishes undersell
    3) My strategy tells me to hold and only sell stocks that re 40% up. This way I never do panic selling and I am more protected from stock price manipulations.

    If your losses on BIDZ are nont as wide as mine and if selling to cut losses is part of your strategy, it may be a good idea for you to get rid of this sucker.
