Lowering the entry price hardly makes a story better

I added more Microsoft shares to my portfolio today, making them my largest position in the (single stock) portfolio. This means that I have "worsened" my "entry price" considerably. Who cares?

Sure, many are waiting for the perfect setback. I've often done that too.

Can also be really successful - but very often not. Most of the time you buy the dip - and it just keeps on dipping (in my example Novo, LVMH, Nike). The result is deep red figures in the portfolio, a strong imbalance and at the end of the day the chances of beating the market drop enormously.

At some point, it's no longer an investment, but just psychology coupled with emotion - and then it becomes dangerous.

That's why I currently prefer to build up positions that are successful & that I really want to hold for the long term - even if not through a -50

even if there are no "quick" profits to be made due to a -50% correction...

Well, many see a drop of just a few measly percent (2-3% a day) as a dip. That can't be anything. You should rather focus on whether the price is overvalued or not and buy accordingly.

Buy the Dip can also quickly become Fomo.
Something I often observe here too.

Buy after the usual long-term corrections, borrower's equity doesn't matter when they correct, I buy them (see april)

My outlook for the next 12 months - stagflation. See sentiment and institutional statements. Long term - 5 years + - no problem. I'm keeping a low profile for now and have set my SLs.
