Several people have sent me DM's complaining that I didn't update my portfolio in Google sheets yesterday. I think they're trying to accuse me of hiding on a bad day.
I was down 6.5% yesterday. I got smoked and could not care less. I don't worry about my stocks day-to-day.
Not that I owe anyone an explanation but the reason I didn't update my portfolio yesterday and won't update today or most of next week is because I start running my fund for @SocialCapital on Monday.
I have been busting my ass the past couple weeks to identify some really exciting small cap stocks that I can start buying for my new @SocialCapital fund.
I would prefer to not have anyone front-run me on those positions.
Why should I do all the work finding these stocks only to pay 15% higher prices b/c I shared them before I could start buying them. That makes no sense.
I know some people lack common sense but please think twice before sending me a DM to complain about something ridiculous.
After I've had a chance to build my positions I'm happy to share the names with everyone and my investment thesis.
I pride myself on being one of the most transparent people on FinTwit so accusing me of hiding is only going to get you blocked. I don't have time for nonsense.
As of this morning my top 15 positions are still:
$DMTK
$MWK
$TMDX
$FUSE
$CELH
$UPST
$SBG
$STIC
$APPH
$DNMR
$YI
$TIGR
$OZON
$PRCH
$FUTU
Once again, I'm focused on exciting, disruptive, innovative companies under $10 billion market cap with at least 30% revenue growth for the next 2+ years and an upcoming catalyst that could/should move the stock by at least 50% within the next 12 months.

Rick thinks we might see 7% GDP growth this year which means record corporate earnings and strong employment so why do we give a shit about a little inflation.
I've never seen so many growth stocks down double digits at the same time. Insane washout!!!
Even though it was painful it was needed. Now the big funds (that run the market) and have been sitting on cash can put it to work and buy these great growth stocks at cheaper prices.
Should I have been trimming some of my stocks the past few days... maybe... but these are stocks I plan to own for the next few days so why incur unnecessary capital gains?
If I believe most (if not all) of my stocks can 5x over the next 5 years then it doesn't make sense to over-manage my portfolio in the short term.
Sometimes you're better off just accepting these big washouts will happen and adding to positions during the panic selling.
Looks like there’s going to be a lot of great companies on sale today.
I think everyone should be focused on their existing portfolio (including me) so I’m not sending out my new Substack writeup this morning.
Let’s hope for a big red washout then the buyers can step in.
I still believe we are in a bull market with low rates, plenty of stimulus and QE, low regulation, strong corporate balance sheets and and robust economic activity. Perhaps some valuations got stretched but the pendulum always swings too far in both directions.
I will definitely be a buyer this morning because I’m focused on 3+ years for my companies so a 5-10% selloff today is only telling me to add to my highest conviction names.
