Intended Long(er) term holds (NOT equally weighted):
-
Company bought by Jazz Pharma this morning. Unexpected surprise.
-
The reason I am selling is I want more commercial names and I do not understand the evolving competitive landscape enough in MS indication. If there is another opportunity later in the year here, I will reconsider after I learn more.
-
I feel an overexposure to biotech. And with the drop in the market due to tarifs, I want to purchase more commercial companies that are strong long-term plays and that were already undervalued.
-
I am in over my head in this company and want more commercial names in my portfolio. It feels to me after the last 3 months that I have been too unselective in what I own in some ways. In that I have allowed some investments because I was diversifying and needed a place to put funds. This was one of those selections. It will likely still do well. It is just not where I want to be, not how I want to invest.
