2021-09-03 Portfolio Update

By GauchoRico

During earnings season, I like to post portfolio updates after groups of my portfolio companies have reported their results. The first group of companies reported in early August so I posted an update on 13Aug. The last of the second group reported on 2Sep so this portfolio update includes the remainder of the portfolio companies.…

2021-08-13 Portfolio Update

By GauchoRico

I’ve decided to post this mid-month portfolio update because about half of my companies (DDOG, LSPD, NET, UPST, and ROKU) have reported their latest quarterly results. That and because my family’s been out of town so I’ve had some extra spare time. The companies’ results mostly reinforced my previous sentiments and hopes; I’ll discuss my…

By GauchoRico

I had intended on posting my next portfolio after my portfolio companies with quarters ending on 30Jun (DDOG, NET, LSPD, and UPST) had reported their results. However, I’ve made some adjustments that I’d like to discuss, so I decided to write this relatively short write-up at the end of July. PRIOR PORTFOLIO UPDATES 2021-06-30 Portfolio…

The last portfolio update was posted as of 7May. Since the last update, there have been earnings results for UPST (11May), LSPD (20May), SNOW (26May), ZM (1Jun), CRWD (3Jun), and DOCU (3Jun).

2021-05-07 Portfolio Update

By GauchoRico

The last portfolio update was posted as of the end of March. Rather than provide a portfolio update at the end of April, I decided to wait an additional week to capture the earnings results for DDOG and NET which both reported on 6May. I plan to post the next portfolio update after the first…

2021-02-12 Portfolio Update

By GauchoRico

I prefer to write portfolio updates after some of my portfolio companies have reported quarterly results, and this may not coincide with the end of a month. So far this earnings season, LSPD, PTON, DDOG, and NET have reported their results. I plan to write my next portfolio update at the end of March, after…
