Let's see, here. Decriminalization of prostitution, drugs, theft; add in, litigation, regulation and taxation.No.

Positions with under 1% of portfolio, NOW, Costco, jpm, Axp, salesforce, ASML, arm, Nike, pins, crowdstrike, Cisco, meli, path, meta
small positions but have been solid. Have quite a bit more but overall it accounts for less than 20% of my stock portfolio.
After this circlejerk of 2023 it’s looking like a good area to take a little profit, but sometimes it’s easier said than done.
For those who read all this. Cheers!
