Typically you buy a tech stock for growth since they rarely pay dividends. When you see that the growth is negative and potentially accelerating there is probably little reason to hold the stock-particularly when they have no earnings.
Yes, but that doesn't answer the question. Sure, it makes sense that there's not much reason to hold stock when the growth is negative. The question was: how do you decide why the growth is negative? This is an important, because sometimes stocks dip for a day, and sometimes they dip for a decade. Knowing why would seem to be the best basis for investing.
