At the moment, I am holding a stock for a long period of time (2-5 years) andI want to gain a better position with my share count and also average down. Is it a good idea to either swing trade it or position trade while putting the profits back into the stock?

Also, should I put a little aside for tax's when or if I swing trade?

thanks

never average down... very bad idea... as for taxes.. dont put any aside.. just pay them when they are due... it's a cost of doing business..

What are my options for increasing my share count?

My goal by the time I sell, a 2-5 year period, is to have double or triple the shares I have now.

Is that possible?

thank you. Hopefully by the time I sell, I will have the amount I am looking for.
