This is the first portfolio update of 2023. At the end of January, none of my portfolio companies had reported their results yet. I typically like to wait until all or most of my companies have reported before putting in the effort to write a lengthy update. I was also on vacation during the last…

By GauchoRico

Recently, we’ve had some years for the record books. In 2020, stocks surged with many investors posting returns far above what they ever could have dreamed. In contrast, 2022 was a year in which some investors had the worst year they’ve ever had. In particular, growth investors felt the euphoria of 2020 and the despair…

2022-09-02 Portfolio Update

By GauchoRico

Another earnings seasons is in the books so it’s time to review the recent results and reassess the positions in the portfolio. As I’ve alluded to since January, I’ve thought about and come to some conclusions about my own investing goals. I recently wrote a blog post about investing goals/objectives considerations. After some consideration, I’ve…

We continue to be in the midst of one of the most challenging periods for investors, particularly for growth investors. It’s not just growth stocks that are down. One of last week’s headlines stated that the first half of 2022 is the worst start to stocks (S&P 500) in the past 50 years. Crypto currencies,…
