ace,
Studying economics will not help you to navigate the treacherous waters of the market.
A very important decision you have to make....Technical vs fundamental approach....Moreover, never confuse one for the other.
Given your youth ,I suggest a purely technical approach to start with...Concentrate on ones in established ,but early uptrends.
Out of all the stocks you hold none stands out as a must buy, JHC will do OK , NEA I don't mind....The rest are not inviting technically in the short to intermediate term.
Don't be a contrarian hero.
Read something about charting & never touch a stock or a sector in a downtrend......Remember ,the price of a stock is the price the market is willing to pay , not the value you think it should be.
