Q: Both these stocks are in my portfolio at a substantial loss. At what point does one, or for that matter you, decide to sell a position as it slides downward. Some have argued that if a stock slides 10% that it should be sold. Perhaps not the best rule of thumb but it would avoid the substantial losses in the company's share price. TCL continues to slide each day seemingly without a bottom. So at what point do you pull the plug on a position and move on? Recent research I have seen on TCL sees potentially another $3-4 of downside, Where do you see each of these companies forming a bottom?
Clearly the market is not in love with either of the two at this time. What will change this?

Q: I have 1% positions in AD (at about the current price) and EIF (down about 20%). You just added AD to the income portfolio. I'm thinking of selling EIF and rolling the proceeds into AD since EIF has been range-bound for a year and AD is showing a rebound and some momentum. Your thoughts?

Q: Hello, SIS announced a couple of days ago it is increasing the dividend by 17% and provided its update on 2018 and 2019 guidance. The market welcomed the announcement with an upswing of 5%. But today again, it is down by 3%. The volatility is not matching with the market movement. Yes , the shares are up compared to a year ago. But still the movement of the stock is becoming un predictable to large extent. Is there any other news that I have missed on this counter. Thanks for your advice always.

Q: Following up on Marios' question from Sep 19 which was:

"PHO is selling pretty hard on higher volume today and on a down trajectory since august. Lost 23 %.
What gives?",
I have the same question except a day later on Sep 20 it still gets pummeled but at yet much higher volume at 1.3 million volume vs a 50-day avg volume of 0.255 million. That stock has really taken a dive on "no news". Given no news, could you please educate me on possible explanations for this price movement with such relative hefty volume? Anything possibly nefarious here? Or is this just normal territory for a $2 stock (even though it's a "good" company). Thank you. I really appreciate your insights.
