Holding stocks is harder than finding them: 10 mid- and small-caps stocks that may be worth holding on to
Holding a stock is not an act of blind faith. It is not refusing to change one’s mind. It is not averaging down because the stock has fallen. Holding is an active decision. It means asking whether the reason you bought the stock is still valid. Has the price fallen because the market is nervous, or because the company’s economics have weakened? Has the macro shock permanently damaged the business, or only delayed the earnings cycle? Is the company still sitting in a sector where demand, regulation, market structure, or execution capability gives it an edge?

It is likely that, even if we don't see a flare-up at the border, the underlying tensions will continue; and that means the defence policy push will continue as is. But rather than focusing on one or two stocks, it is perhaps better to own a whole bucket of stocks.
