In most kinds of investments it is important to build positions quite slowly. However, most of people, usually beginners, do not know about this especially if they want to make stock market investments. Once people decide to build a position in stock of company, they should not buy all the shares altogether. The wiser way is to buy the shares following the fluctuation of prices. In other words, people should purchase the shares incrementally in order to help them keep their cost basis as low as it can.

The reason for not buying all the shares of stock market at once lies at the fact that share prices can fall and rise very quickly. To get profit people should carefully follow the ups and downs of the prices.

For example if someone wants to invest 10,000 dollars in company A and wants to buy shares of stock market from the company that has price of 50 dollar, he should not buy all 200 shares at once. Instead he should probably only buy 50 shares so in case that the price will drop later, he will still have 7,500 dollars remained to be able to buy another 50 shares. You will need to wait until the stock price goes up if you buy 200 shares at once and that is not good for your portfolio.
