In defence of that...


JBH is current on PE of ~12 and P/Book of over 5. Not too expensive perhaps, but certainly not cheap.


There's a massive difference in buying a falling expensive share, and a falling cheap share.


There's also a massive difference in expecting to be right every time, versus a positive expectancy of a diversified group of stocks.


Yes, ABC, Forge, etc are going to happen. But if you bought 50 falling stocks, at a PE, of say, less than 5, what do you think would be the likely outcome?
