Reardon95 - nobody can tell you the right thing to do but, if you believe in the long term, as you say you do, then the question is ultimately:
- If you believe this will recover to 200p in a year, 300p in 2 years, and 400p in 3 years (as an example) then what's the trade-off between buying at 110p versus buying at 100p versus never buying because it never gets to that price.
- If it gets to 100p and then later gets to 300p you triple your money
- If you buy at 110p and then later gets to 300p you nearly triple your money but not quite
- If it doesn't dip to 100p and then later gets to 100p you miss out completely on near tripling your money
So that's a big rise to miss out on (if you believe it will do it) for the sake of a marginally better potential buy in price that may never come.
To make it worth holding out for a lower price I'd argue you would have to be VERY confident that it will dip lower in the short term, otherwise you're putting big potential rewards you're confident in, on the line, for a marginally better buy in price that may never come.
