Price of EIF has been on a downward spiral over the last couple of months. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this stock going forward? I have a full position on it, is it a hold or sell now? Regards and thanks for the good work.

Q: Would like to know if I am calculating the amount of the reduction in weighting for a particular position. This is how I do it....I take the current market value of the position, say 7% of the current market value of the portfolio, and deduct the original book, cost value, which is 5% for this position in the total money to be invested in the portfolio, and then sell this difference at market price at that sell date.....Am I doing it right?!

Q: There were a couple comments today referring to a stocks yield based on the initial investment (which could 1 year ago or 10 years ago or more). I have seen this come up here before and on investment chat lines I follow. It seems to me that investment decisions should be based on the current situation (current yield, fundamentals, or whatever) and that yield on initial investment is somewhat meaningless other than as a pleasing way to view a successful investment. What am I missing? Could you comment?
Thank-you
