Hey burglar,
I always want you to be honest with me! Otherwise, these conversations are pointless!
1. Very simple. When you buy, it is always better if you pay less for a same product.
2. As you mentioned, dose it matter much when you invest in long term? ...
Hard for burglars to be honest, but I'm doin' the best that I can.
1.)
Yes, you pay less per share.
Most likely, you buy more shares!
The dividend is based on shares.
So ... more dividend!!
2.)
Yes, to some it matters!
Sometimes you will be holding as the shareprice falls below your purchase price.
Can be scary for the feint hearted; especially if unexpected.
So you need to ask yourself questions about your psychology of trading/investing.
Will you hold in faith (noobies big and easy mistake, in my opinion)?
Will you panic sell (noobies biggest and easiest mistake, in my opinion)?
Will you have a pre-planned exit?
Much of this depends on how you feel about your money.
I write my money off as soon as I do a buy order.
That's the gambler in me!
... Metrics??? What metrics? That sounds very PRO! I like it!!! ...
I meant "financial measures" not knowing how broad this term is!?
:
Definition of 'Metrics'
Parameters or measures of quantitative assessment used for measurement, comparison or to track performance or production. Analysts use metrics to compare the performance of different companies, despite the many variations between firms.
Investopedia explains 'Metrics'
Metrics can refer to a company's EBITDA, earnings per share, or any other financial measures. They can also be industry specific, such as barrels of oil produced for exploration companies.
Taking the ratios of some metrics forms multiples, which further allow analysts to compare diverse firms.
