The market goes down, so does becton. The market goes up, down goes Becton.

I am resisting the urge to complete a nervous sale of BEC, but it is getting harder. It is said often, but the company needs to keep the market posted as to what is happening. Some good news would go a long way towards supporting the SP.

This one is now stuck in my "don't touch it and pray they don't go broke, hoping they will recover" pile. Luckily, Becton is the only stock I have in that pile.......

They need to add another category to the sentiment folder - "holding nervously", for those times when you don't want to sell and miss a recovery bounce, but would not normally buy the stock because it looks unsafe.
