Hi Saleem,

Sold two laggards from the portfolio:

Sold BMEA @ 12.29
Sold TOST @ 17.59

In this higher rate environment, the lack of earnings is hurting valuations. There are also major disruptive forces in the drug industry that might be leaving BMEA's drug behind, and the restaurant industry may be hurt by student loan and more cautious spending for TOST and they are leveraged highly to individual restaurant successes with their capital program.

Ultimately, these are relative strength calls as the reasoning for the sells is driven by explanation for the recent price action.

Hi Saleem,

Sold U @ 30.05
Bought PINS @ 28.12

This is an unwind of a prior trade I made where I thought PINS catalysts were over and U had more room from here. The price action tells me otherwise, and recent analyst indications signal PINS is gaining traction with its new initiatives.
