With large price swings, I bought and sold a lot. Not always in the best way. No significant changes in top positions.

Practically no action in the fixed income category. 

Sold PSTH without waiting for SPARs.

Lots of M&A activity. Sold most of positions in VMW and ZEN. Some flip flop with TWTR, mostly not profitable yet. Bought a position in ATVI. ATVI results are not good, so the stock may drop a lot if MSFT acquisition is not approved.

Sold ADCOF on bad results. Sold tiny position in COST.

Flip-flops were mostly in selling direction. Apart from META, I have way smaller positions in ETSY, COIN, IAC, PINS, STNE now. Selling in bear market is likely a mistake though. For example, COIN has now ran up way higher than where I sold it. I bought and then sold ALGN after they reported results.

Practically all purchases were based on attractive prices or adding on price drops. June reports from these companies have been mixed. Some are more attractive now, some are less, some have not reported yet.

THRY seems to be executing well. YELP too. MELI continues high growth. I liked ABNB report. KARO is growing well.

MTCH has some issues with Tinder business unit. I'm not particularly excited about new MTCH CEO, but planning to hold for now. I think they can do well.
