How do you decide what your entry point is in a stock?

So lately I’ve gotten into calculating the intrinsic value of the stocks I’m buying. Obviously that’s only one part of researching a stock I’m interested in but it’s just made me curious about the entry point.
If I come up with a value of a stock then theoretically I should be happy getting it for anything under that but sometimes get greedy. For example, right now I might have 4% in cash waiting for the right moment on a couple stocks that I’ve watched and feel like a dip will come based on moving averages and other technical factors.
Just curious how other people do it. Do you calculate a value at all? Are you happy with any price point under that value? If you don’t calculate, how do you decide your entry point?

Depends on your goals.
If you're looking for dividends, buy when the dividend yield is the percentage you want.
If you're looking to flip on a few months, watch the fundamentals and try to figure out the price point where it's temporarily and artificially low.
If you want long term capital gains, just make sure it's a viable company. Anytime is a good time to buy in.

I try to come up with some kind of valuation of what I think it's worth but it varies by industry and business how I get there. Biotechs are probably the most consistent and easiest to value.

Mines typically a range based on scenarios. I try to buy at lower half of range but I'm ok with paying a fair price for a good company always. So anyone in range is fair game to slap the buy button.

I guess this part of the portfolio I’m talking about the goal is looking at a 5-10yr range for the stock. Finding ones I think are undervalued based on their current trends. Pricing it for a 15% return and hoping they blow my projections out of the water.
The thinking being that if my estimates are conservative then I should at least get 15% return and hope a couple blow it out of the water. Maybe I’m just thinking too much about the entry point and should just trust the calc.
I guess hybrid between holding forever and short term investing.

I look for a sag and hopes it turns into a climb

Not sure if serious?
They’re some of the most notoriously difficult things to value.

valueinvestorsclub, IMO a must to learn about valuation, is free just sign up with email. You will learn a so much from reading the equity ideas.

Just take 2 grand, buy 200 dollars each of a bunch of different meme coins
Wait to get lucky.

In the market we’re in today, this is sound advice.
To the OP

How do you decide what your entry point is in a stock?

So in some ways yes and in some ways no. But I'd much rather take a swag at understanding the value of a single to medium sized pipeline of drugs than dig through the tangled mess of GE or other large conclomerates legal entities and contracts to calc their value
