Q: You have expressed the opinion that investors are bored with GUD as the reason for its recent rather lackluster performance but it's recent dive over the last 3 trading sessions of about 10% seems more than boredom. Is there anything going on at the company with respect to their products or with their management team that could be behind the steady downward pressure on the shares?

Q: Good morning,

Could you please comment on GUD's earnings release? Is the market reaction due to impatience like you've said before or is there an other reason? Also, for someone that holds a half position currently at a loss, would now be a good time to add with a longer term time frame in mind?

Thank you!

Q: Hi
I own a 2% position in teva pharmaceuticals. It is down nearly 60%. You have recommended selling the stock in a response to a somular question yesterday. My problem is I am holding this in an RRSP and cannot take advantage of a tax loss. I am comfortable holding for a few years in the hopes of a rebound, collecting the dividend meanwhile. Do you think this is wishful thinking?

Do I cut my losses, or do I wait patiently for a possible recovery?

Thank you
Karim

Q: The recent hand wringing (and rightly) over CRH (haven't owned for years) has made me question what rationale retail investors use to buy and sell. I understand why advisors suggest a buy and hold strategy. But can't understand why retail investors need to be tied to that philosophy. I'm making a leap and will assume most members of this site use a discount brokerage. Given the almost insignificant cost to buy and sell (assuming buys and sells of more than $10,000), isn't a more active approach to trading a reasonable proposition? I use technicals to take the emotion out of the equation and would love to know what buy and sell discipline you would suggest. Having personal buy/sell rules might help investors feel better about making these decisions.
Thanks for all your support and advice over the years.
