Positions increased: V, OSSIF, GOOG, OTCM, IVSBF, KKR, YY
Positions reduced: BOMN, FRFHF, STNE
Positions eliminated: LTRPA, SYTE
Sold remaining shares of LTRPA - I don't see very likely future growth. It is quite possible that TRIP will be acquired though.
Sold
 SYTE position as the management continued to mostly self-destruct. It 
was an entertainment value sized position. I decided to be entertained 
from sidelines from now on.
Sold part of position in BOMN after 
annual meeting. The management are nice people. The businesses are 
OKish. The valuation is high considering most of the book value is cash 
(received from selling shares at above book). Tough to see a scenario 
where shareholders do well short/medium term.
Sold part of position in STNE as stock ran up. Sale based on valuation and position sizing.
Sold
 part of position in FRFHF - I believe FRFHF can achieve 7-10% returns 
going forward, but unlikely higher than that. This might be OK compared 
to opportunities in current market. I decided that I would rather look 
for possibly better returns elsewhere.
Rebought some LBTYK on presumed Vodafone deal approval in Europe. This position may be sold at any time.
Bought
 some MSFT - I completely messed up with Microsoft in the past. I sold 
just as Balmer was going out and company was experiencing kitchen sink 
quarters after Nokia purchase. Then I watched on sidelines as the 
company and stock performed very well under Nadella's leadership and 
turn towards open software, enterprise and cloud. I think that with 
Office 365 subscription model and with Azure, MSFT still has good 
future. The stock is not cheap though, so I bought just initial 
position.
Bought a tracking position in BRFRF.
Added to V, OSSIF, GOOG, OTCM, IVSBF, KKR, YY based on prices/valuations, prospects and existing position sizes.
