COMMENT

Trimming positions with recent strength in the market. Numerous positions are rising above portfolio and evaluation thresholds. Investors should be weary of bull market as it makes it difficult to generate forward returns (worried about buying at too high levels). Overall - long term investors shouldn't worry about state of market - and should focus on investing in high quality business' at attractive prices.

investment companies / funds
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Alphabet Inc

Overall is an excellent business. Good long term position. Difficult to determine outlook of business in short term. Recession could weigh on company (advertising correlated to strength of market). Generally speaking, business is very strong. Would recommend buying if and when share price falls.

DON'T BUY

Retail is a difficult business to operate in. Capital intensive business with lots of inventory. If recession occurs, will be hard on business. Better options for investors out there. 

specialty stores
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Target Corp

Retail very hard business. High amount of working capital tied up in inventory. Difficult to build competitive moat with lots of competition. Would not recommend buying. If stock price falls to 12x earnings - would be a good investment. Current valuation too high given return on capital for business.

Price very volatile. Business that is hard to evaluate. Too early in business life to determine long term outlook. Return on capital is volatile. Founder led, but would pass at this time. Needs predictability at this time.
