We made some changes to the high growth portfolio this morning. Shares of Monday finally showed a bit of relative strength and we sold the entire position-550 shares. A big loss-but we simply have no wish to marry a company that seemingly lacks visibility beyond the next 9 months. We sold 550 shares at $76.45 and that…
It was a poor way to start the week for holders of Pagaya and Monday shares. I was pleasantly surprised that overall, the high growth portfolio appreciated a bit more than 1% on Monday-but that in no way took any of the sting from the 21% drawdown of Monday shares and the 24% depreciation of…
We sold the last 100 shares of the Snowflake position. Snowflake spiked up today in sympathy with the strong results reported by MongoDB. I imagine that Snowflake, which reports tomorrow did have a strong quarter-I am just now sure if the upside will be strong enough to sustain the share price spike. Snowflake is a volatile stock, and…
The last couple of weeks have been painful for investors in high growth IT shares-brutal really. With a crescendo of bubble articles and headlines talking about stretched valuation, good news got interpreted negatively and indifferent news resulted in significant share price compression. Basically, as the year end approaches, some investors, with significant gains have moved…
We made some portfolio changes this morning. We sold 100 shares of our Snowflake position at $266.99. This raised $26,690. We now have 500 shares of Snowflake which has a weight of 7.11% in the high growth portfolio. As discussed earlier, we bought 400 shares of Dynatrace at $46.89. This cost $18,765. We now have…
We decided to take some profits on our Zscaler position which has risen by more than 80% so far this year and has reached a rather substantial valuation above average based on my estimates. The sale of 250 shares at $325.39 raised $81,340. We still have a position of 350 shares and that has a…
The market continues to trade in a consolidation mode, and we took some actions today. Although objectively the inflation news was reasonably positive, and initially stocks rose, selling resumed shortly after the opening. The consolidation trade may last until earnings season gets underway. Or it may last until the next Fed policy meeting. My ability…
Sale of AppLovin; Purchases of Monday, Atlassian, SentinelOne and Samsara in the High Growth portfolio Sale of NetApp and Cognizant and purchases of Dell and Google in the Income/Stability portfolio We made some portfolio changes today. We do not intend to make changes every day, but when opportunities arise, we take them. High Growth We…
I made some portfolio changes on an opportunistic basis. There were no news event that motivated these transactions; simply a desire to take advantage of some share price anomalies. This has so far been a “Tuesday against the trend” day. It is also the day before the Fed’s decision on short term rates. At this…
I am getting this to subscribers a bit later than normal-last week’s post ran too long so this was not included. Then too, with the excitement with regards to Oracle and Nebius, my scheduling got severely impacted. Here is the list: the first 3 ideas are the companies that have just reported, i.e. Oracle, Nebius…
