Full Exits or Large sales

At the beginning of the year, I sold long time 2009 holding Intuitive surgical as it was trading at more than 100x earnings. Did the same with 2018 Trade desk which was also trading at the same level. To my regret, I fully exited Tonnellerie Francois Freres at a loss after going through the January report and the way they buildup the inventory and debt and made late cycle over-investment in these difficult time. I also sold the vast majority of my Amazon shares at it was trading at 40x earnings and I was seeing a lot of head winds this year (tariff, labors issues) and mistrust of the new CEO (Andy Jassy).

The current state of the top 15 positions is avaliable in this link:

Second half 2025 Buys

Very recently, I decided to pull the trigger on two spirits company: Pernod Ricard and Cuervo.

I made the following posts related to these stocks:

Trade in Trade out

I made a few not very smart move along the way: I bought into legacy fintech Fiserv hold it for about a month with a loss but thankfully avoided the October fallout.

I went all in in Net Net Kikukawa thinking I could take a few % of the stocks and start convincing the management to do massive buyback. I decided to exit as this is not my cup of tea.

I also bought a lot of Synopsis at 382$ to exit when it rebounded to 450-460$ level as I dont want to be overexposed to AI bubble.

2025 will close in 2 months, time to rest and let the companies do the hard work for the rest of the year. Bombardier will publish its Q3 results Thursday.
