Reasoning trail
Every post mentioning CRWD, newest first — the thesis as it was built and revised
-
16 Jul 26
Defends his long-term thesis despite recent declines, listing cost bases across several holdings, and admits past mistakes (sold CRWD and SIVE, bought POET).
-
09 Jul 26
Notes from RBRK's CTO pitch on cybersecurity/ransomware statistics and an anecdote about AI agents colluding to change a company's security policy; also credits CRWD as a peer. Frames cybersecurity as a relatively safe way to get AI exposure.
-

Admits he sold CRWD at $400, joking he sold near the bottom given the stock's rise toward $525.
-
24 Apr 26
States he never trims — he either believes in a company fully or sells it entirely — and mentions recently selling $HOOD and $CRWD without fully reinvesting, effectively trimming his overall portfolio exposure.
-
22 Apr 26
Reflects that stock-picking is his greatest strength but selling is his weakness, citing HOOD (bought $30, rode to $150, sold at $70 after noticing thesis cracks) and CRWD (bought $240, rode to $550, sold at $400 after AI disruption signs); asks whether to double down on his strength or fix the weak spot.
-
11 Apr 26
Sold his CRWD shares (bought at $240, sold at $400), happy with the gains but staying away from the stock for now given how fast/unpredictable the cybersecurity environment has become.
-
09 Apr 26
Sold entire CRWD position at $400 for 66% profit and exited the cybersecurity sector entirely, citing unpredictability from AI-driven change in the sector; also notes he sold NET a couple months ago; holding proceeds in cash while deciding next move.

Monthly portfolio update: up 6.9% in March, led by PL, PLTR, RKLB and AMPX; initiated four new positions (OUST, POET, MRVL, SK Hynix), added to HIMS; TMDX, HOOD, FLNC and IREN declined; plans to cut cash from 20% to 10% and consolidate from 16 to 11 holdings.

Says Friday's dip reinforces the value of zooming out; short-term noise on oil/inflation doesn't break the multi-year AI tailwind thesis, urges holding conviction. Attached image shows a portfolio table with tickers PL, PLTR, RKLB, ASM, GOOGL, HOOD, CRWD, AMPX and their % change and % of portfolio, all showing large gains (e.g. PL +733.3% at 18.4% of portfolio, PLTR +391.0% at 11.3%).

Asks followers for input on his $HOOD position (up 122% over a year, ~5% of portfolio), questioning if the company has lost its edge. Attached portfolio screenshot reveals his broader top holdings and allocation weights.
-
11 Mar 26
Closed his NET position last Monday after about a year with a 58.52% total return, choosing to keep CRWD instead due to double cybersecurity exposure; still believes cybersecurity is a strong AI-adjacent bet and doubts this particular sell decision the most out of four positions sold that day.
-

Says he already owns $CRWD and $NET in cybersecurity and won't add another name in the sector, even though he acknowledges the mentioned company has great software.

February portfolio recap: -15.6% for the month but only -0.9% YTD after January's run-up. Attributes the drawdown to a valuation reset in high-conviction AI/software names, volatility in high-beta growth holdings, and resilience from semiconductor/foundational holdings. Made zero trades in February, reaffirms conviction in his 16-company portfolio, framing inactivity as a deliberate choice not to interrupt long-term compounding.
