August 2022 - Here we go again...
After last month, I thought we may have been all clear, but it turned out to not be the case. Despite bleeding markets, several of my companies have had good things happen, which I share here. Also, an exciting new addition has made it to my Watch List.
Unity is caught in a mess of Mergers & Acquisitions
Unity (U) is one of my high conviction holdings and I have been buying the stock heavily throughout the year. Lately, the stock has amassed attention as it found itself in a confusing mess of now several merger and acquisition bids. Shortly after closing their first major acquisition of Weta Digital - a $1.625 billion deal - Unity made another bid to merge with ironSource (IS) for $4.4 billion and subsequently received an unsolicited counter-offer from ironSource competitor AppLovin (APP) just a few days ago.

Five things to consider about Alphabet (Google)
Google is now trading at a decade-low Price to Earnings (P/E) and confidence in the company being a long-term stock pick winner is growing rapidly. I recently added Alphabet (GOOGL) to my portfolio as well, but with the stock recently becoming a lot more accessible to new investors, following their 20-to-1 stock split and the hype reaching new levels, I wanted to share some of my own long-term considerations. I hope this might also give some insight into the holistic approach I myself practice when I consider the full value and future positioning of a business beyond the numbers.

May 2022 - Downwards and onwards!
May has come and gone and so it is time for another entry in my investment journal. It has been quite an eventful month, although I have been busy with exams. The markets are still rough and both my portfolios continue to be in the red for the year. Unity (U) has taken a beating and suddenly Alphabet, the parent company of Google has found a place in my portfolio quicker than anticipated. Let us have a look!
