I consider these factors as ones that would push me to sell.
i) Dividend cut
ii) Financial misconduct with company figures - Something like what happened to ARCP
iii) A swelling payout ratio (MAT is 104%, nowhere near sustainable)
iv) A collapsing earnings per share and continuously falling sales.
Many on the forum here are a lot wiser than me and will probably offer better advice. How long have you held MAT for? It would not be a buy on my radar - for the payout ratio alone before looking in depth at other factors.
As for selling that's your choice, it's more or less on it's 12month low by the looks of things. If you fancy seeing resistance levels e.t.c check

You're not alone by the way, GAZP with me is down 40% (a stupid buy from when I knew nothing). What keeps me from selling is that I can wait 40years for a return.
Hope this helps
