Q: MCAN (MKP) is a mortgage company that I hold. It seems to be a good income stock. It is raising more capital that I interpret as positive. Is this to hedge against the "expected" rising interest rates? If rates go up how will this affect their business? My holding is 3%, I am thinking of bring this up a bit based on their positive moves to increase capital. Am I reading this wrong?
Thanks,
Doug

Q: With the market rotation, I have seen a number of questions from people who are down 30-50% on some stocks asking if they should switch out. What guidance can you provide regarding the best tactic when highly volatile small-mid cap growth stocks turn downwards. Putting in a stop loss of -15% may get you stopped out of promising but volatile stocks. Holding until you are down 30-50% leaves you looking at a 50-100% recovery to break even. Hard to feel positive about this scenario even with a 3-5 year outlook.....
