            • Επένδυση σε μετοχή της οποίας η τιμή σημειώνει απότομη πτώση. Ο επενδυτής λαμβάνει την απόφαση για αγορά της συγκεκριμένης μετοχής βασιζόμενος στην εκτίμηση ότι η τιμή της μετοχής θα αρχίσει σύντομα να ακολουθεί ανοδική πορεία. Είναι μια επένδυση μεγάλου ρίσκου, καθώς είναι επίσης πιθανό το ενδεχόμενο η τιμή της μετοχής να συνεχίσει να πέφτει και μάλιστα με τον ίδιο γρήγορο ρυθμό. Own research - by Maria GR (X)
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Αν έχετε χάσει από μια μετοχή, μην αγοράζετε και άλλες, με σκοπό να μετριάσετε τη ζημιά. Παραδεχθείτε ότι κάνατε λάθος και ξεφορτωθείτε τις μετοχές. Αν η μετοχή σάς ενδιαφέρει πραγματικά, θα βρείτε μια πιο κατάλληλη στιγμή να την αγοράσετε πάλι. Αν προσπαθήσετε να πιάσετε ένα μαχαίρι που πέφτει, μάλλον θα κοπείτε. - in.gr Χρηματιστήριο by Maria GR (X)
            • Αγορά: Η ώρα να πιάσει κάποιος ένα μαχαίρι που πέφτει δεν είναι αυτή της μέγιστης επιτάχυνσης της πτώσης, αλλά αυτή της πρόσκρουσης. - Ημερησία by Maria GR (X)
            • Οσοι, δε, επιχειρούν να πιάσουν το μαχαίρι που πέφτει πιστεύοντας πως οι ευκαιρίες που δημιουργούνται θα τους ανταμείψουν για το ρίσκο, κινδυνεύουν περισσότερο να χάσουν το χέρι τους παρά να γευτούν τους καρπούς μιας ανοδικής αντίδρασης των τιμών που όλοι θα ήθελαν να δουν, αλλά ελάχιστοι μπορούν να διακρίνουν πότε και από ποια επίπεδα θα εκδηλωθεί. - Ελευθεροτυπία by Maria GR (X)

            • to catch a falling knife
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • To catch a falling knife is a phrase used in investing terminology to describe a risky investment strategy. If you buy a stock that is dramatically lowering in value, you do so in the hopes that it will rebound shortly after you purchase it. The danger in trying to catch a falling knife is that the stock will continue to drop, causing you to lose money on an increasingly worthless investment. The phrase is a metaphor based on the idea that if you literally try to catch a falling knife, you may cut your hand. wiseGEEK - by Enrique Cavalitto
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Buy, sell or hold? I think it is too late to sell. The question in my mind is whether to “catch a falling knife” or wait until there is some confirmation of a bottom in technical or fundamental terms. - seekingalpha.com by Enrique Cavalitto
            • The phrase perfectly captures the dangers of buying into a declining market. To do so is like trying to catch a falling knife: the momentum is all down, and we all know what happens to those who grasp a razor-sharp blade in mid-air. - Charles Hugh Smith by Enrique Cavalitto
            • Bargain-hunters tempted by the banks' falling share prices should beware the Square Mile adage; it's dangerous to catch a falling knife. - Telegraph.co.uk by Enrique Cavalitto

            • prendere [al volo] un coltello che cade
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Traduzione alternativa: "afferrare un coltello che cade". Espressione metaforica di derivazione anglosassone con la quale si descrive una strategia di investimento rischiosa, che consiste nell'acquistare strumenti finanziari il cui valore mostra una forte tendenza alla diminuzione, sperando che il valore torni ad aumentare in futuro in modo da poter realizzare un guadagno. Tuttavia, se il valore di tali strumenti finanziari, anziché "rimbalzare", continua a diminuire, l'investitore può subire un grosso danno. Da qui la rischiosità della strategia, che viene paragonata, appunto, al gesto avventato di prendere al volo un coltello che cade, con il rischio di ferirsi gravemente.

            • Siamo ancora nel mese di Agosto e se le cose a Settembre cambieranno nuovamente, per ora non ci sono segnali di inversione, per cui cercare di comprare sterline e' come prendere un coltello che cade (in gergo catch the falling knife). - Asca by Adele Oliveri
            • Don’t Catch a Falling Knife vuole essere un inno al buon senso. Un coltello che sta cadendo, lo sanno anche i bambini, non bisogna mai cercare di afferrarlo. In tempi calamitosi di stagnazione incipiente, democratici protezionisti che stanno per riconquistare il Congresso, banche centrali impegnate a prosciugare il mare con le idrovore e portafogli colti in flagranza di over-extension i prezzi scontati e calanti di azioni e (alcune) materie prime non devono indurre in tentazione. Sono caramelle avvelenate, giocattoli bomba, attenzione. Don’t Catch a Falling Knife è il ritirarsi in casa a coltivare i Bot. E’ il piacere catastematico di Epicuro, il piacere come assenza di dolore, la gioia tiepida di stare flat. - La Lettera Finanziaria by Adele Oliveri
