Here is a summary of my activity this month.

About this blog: I have been investing for 25 years, professionally and personally. I look for stocks that have a high probability of compounding at 15% for at least 5 years with limited downside. I write these stocks up on my blog. You can find more about me, my philosophy, my mental models, and my portfolio structure on my site.

Trades

Reduced Banco Itau after the first round of the Brazilian election.
Bought Brookfield Asset Management (BAM).
Added to Amazon just before it tanked.
Added to Fairfax India after the IDBI deal.
Switched some BN into BAM - I am now roughly 50/50.
Sold NOV, preferring the drillers.
Reduced Grupo Cibest to buy Kaspi.
Bought a little SpaceX for my kids and myself.
Added to Mercadolibre after the second round of the Brazil election.
Added to Google just before it tanked (there’s a pattern here…).

Switched some Ensign Energy Services into BORR Drilling to balance out my rig basket.

Phew - busy month, at least for me!
