Every decision

  • 30 September 2026Sold

    CRWD valuation has run away again, my AI trade is playing out too well. Reduced to a 3% allocation

  • 10 June 2025Sold

    CRWD valuation is ahead of itself, stopped reporting DBNR, likely below 110%, growth slowing as scale, can't stomach more than a 2% allocation at current price

  • 28 April 2025Sold

    Trim most overvalued holdings while market feels very volatile

  • 13 February 2024Sold

    Back up to 7% allocation, valuation is very punchy, reducing back to 6%

  • 8 December 2023Sold

    I hate to do this, but it's currently a 7.1% allocation for me, and it might be more prudent to redirect a sliver of that into PANW, just to balance up a bit, without actually reducing my overall exposure to the cybersecurity thesis

  • 3 January 2023Bought

    My highest conviction stock right now

  • 24 November 2021Sold

    Tidying portfolio and building cash position for dividend portfolio. Too overexposed at current valuation

In percentages and multiples, as one portfolio. Past performance is not a guide to future returns. Nothing here is financial advice, and I may buy or sell at any time.
