Then when it goes down significantly from where you first bought, you can invest in more stock and have a lower average discount instead of feeling that you were wrong and paying that money to brokers for commissions. It's nice to be happy when your stock goes down and buy more instead of adding to your expenses. Just my thoughts.

What you say makes a lot of sense. I'm honestly curious though how you would rationalize riding a stock down with a major downturn in the market such as occurred after 9/11? Wouldn't you want to stop-out of a stock and preserve capital? (presuming someone would buy as the market tanked)
