Q: I get that this drop and volatility is a bit multi faceted but it seems centred around rates and QE easing. So hitting tech and growth stocks makes sense but I just can't figure out why something like RUS is getting hit so hard. Any thoughts? EAF is in the same boat but its always been a bit more volatile.

Q: I have been invested in EAF for a few years now (currently down a bit). It seems like they are making good progress in paying off their debt and over the time and the overhang of Brookfield selling off its stake is decreasing. I am fairly patient on this one and I am likely to keep being patient but do you see negative issues I may be discounting because I already hold it.

From my perspective they seem like they could end up with a low debt ratio and good cash flow in a few more years while the biggest risk seems to be that the long term contracts they have will not be rolled over at anywhere near the same levels.

Q: Do you have any updated thoughts on Graftech? Profitability and revenue growth look good on the surface.
