bottom fishing

Buying beaten-down stocks

Bottom fishing is seeking bargains among stocks, assets, or goods that have fallen to low prices.

The term comes from fishing techniques that target the ocean floor.

In investing, it suggests buying when prices seem to have hit bottom: He's been bottom fishing in the tech sector since the crash.

The strategy assumes beaten-down assets will eventually recover.
