Q: In May of 2017, I purchased some stocks on the advice of a different service than I5.
Including dividends, my returns are as follows:
CSW.A minus 11%
XTC minus 21%
PZA minus 30%

In hindsight, I should have probably cut my losses at some point.
Do you have a suggested trigger to sell after a set loss percentage?
Do any of the above warrant holding or should I sell and reinvest in similar categories? Probably for another 3-4 years.

Thanks for your advice
John

Q: We have been divesting ATL1880 but it still is 1.7% of our portfolio (was 20%). One reason is because I realized that its return is mostly ROC and it has a high turnover rate.
I feel that the turnover is churn to the benefit of management company. I have recently read that receiving ROC is not necessarily a bad thing. Would like your opinion in general and in relation to this fund. This is our last mutual fund holding and its fees are also higher then I think reasonable. As we need income I want to replace with something that would provide equal income so would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
