@formthirteen agreed. VRSN isn't going to set the world on fire, but i only need 8-9%. It has a high probability of outperforming cash with a low probability of impairment. Its a one foot hurdle.
I bought a single share of VRSN. I've read the annual report, what's here, and a few seeking alpha articles. I like the company, but it's too expensive right now.
I sold out of GOOGL in multiple accounts. I've been losing some sleep weighing the long term impact of AI search results versus Google search. The DOJ cases mounting just add to the unease and I don't think all of these negatives are priced in compared to October 2022 when I established the position.
Well I have a standing buy order for 1500 shares of FRPH at $29. IBKR filled 500. The other 1000 are on order through Fido. I guess you get what you pay for!
Sold out of HSY. The company could still be a good LT pick, but future estimates have come down from both analysts and the company and a 20x PE is too expensive with earnings below $10/share for the next several years.
