Positions reduced: Microcap G, Nanocap J

Flip-flop: Nanocap L

It looks like a lot of activity in rather short period of time.
Sold Z due to the new business of house flipping that has quite uncertain future results.
Sold ODET:FR due to Vincent Bollore criminal investigation and upcoming succession.
Sold CHUBA/CHUBK - acquired by private equity.

Added to BAC, FFXDF, LBRDA, NTES, GLIBA, FB based on prices and cash availability.
Bought new positions in TWX - possibly OK price whether merger goes through or not; and TITR:IT - Telecom Italia based on activist investor elections to the board.
