I bought 400 shares $25.25 a couple of weeks ago and it is now at $23.51. Is it time to buy more to move my average price down, hold or sell? Any idea's on why this stock is moving the wrong way?

TIA to all of the MT folks smarter than I.

If you feel good about the stock why not buy more?

Only if you think the price will go up.

This was my original thought but will probably stand with my current stake. I don't see any fundamental reasons why this slide is happening.

Pretty sure too over the past couple of weeks the market has been trending lower as well.

ETA: I might be a little worried if the market was kicking arse and it was getting left behind, but no need to worry IMO.

SLB and HAL both posted good numbers from International growth - Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific and Russia. Where does FI growth come from and how strong or saturated are those markets?

Thats because the people moving the price know more than you.

Northwestern, I came to work Monday morning and did my usual: Take a look at pre-market for all my stocks. It felt like someone kicked me in the balls. It's still kind of tender down there.

What cha gonna do though?

Good luck with SMTC!

Just a saw this article about BWP

Top wall st analysts say sell these stocks while you still can

Boardwalk Pipeline Partners (BWP) got smoked big-time, and there could be more damage to come. The company cut its dividend huge and reported very poor earnings. Credit Suisse immediately cut the stock to Sell, and in its report was very negative about the future. Boardwalk also cut its distribution for the quarter to just $0.10 a share. The Credit Suisse price target is cut to $15, and the consensus is still at $29.41. There is a good chance that could get cut in half as well. Shares closed Monday down big at $13.01.

I know MT doesn't like charting and TA, but I couldn't help but notice that every stock mentioned in this thread had plenty of warning signs before the big drops.

FI looked like a strong sell the first week of January, and before that there were 6 weeks of strong sell signals leading up to the big drop in November.

BWP has been on a long slide since the middle of last year, with the initial 'sell' coming in August, then another in November, and kind of a continuing confirmation of the sell in January.

SMTC was pretty similar to BWP in sliding since the middle of last year, with the initial 'sell' coming in early July before the big dip in late July. It went sideways for a while after that, and then there was about 2 weeks of a sell warning before the big gap down in December.

Kork, I have looked into charting and TA. Its useful I think.

I wont go into it here, but there are very good reasons I should have been more wary of this holding.

I have had it for years (since the IPO) and sort of took it for granted.

Thanks for the analysis though!
