Averaging down vs selling and rebuying


Noob question. When is it better to average down vs sell and rebuy? I’m trying to learn fundamentals of investing before going crazy on anything.

Let’s take my current situation, I have $500 of a stock that historically has been averaging around $11-13 per stock. I thought I was a goddamn genius buying it at 9.90 a share but the stock is currently close to its 52 week low at 9.20 a share. I stand to lose under $100 ish if I sell off. With such a small amount of downside (small cash loss) and a potentially high upside would selling and rebuying down to 9.20 make more sense? Or would you hold?

Appreciate any advice.
