First allow me to say that I've been reading your TMF posts because they represent quality interpretaion and organization. Good luck to you,
You raise a question that continues to puzzle me . "How does one manage the trick?" Perhaps no one really succeeds at managing the trick, but some seem to do OK nevertheless. To assist in the process , if indeed it is assistance, I wish to make a few observations, recognizing that I am more of a novice than you.
I think AYX managed to avoid the heaviest headwinds and will plow ahead successfully, I trimmed some as did others but it probably was not necessary. And now the question is when and how much to buy back. Having distributed the funds it is almost moot.
COUP has more headwinds I think. The reentry problem is also tougher.
DOCU Numbers look super. I probably need to have bought more heavily. There is still time but resources are committed.
FSLY You may have noted that beta users for "compute @edge" are very happy with the product. Many of them and others are preparing use cases for 2021. It portends well.
ROKU has bee a disappointment as you noted IMHO it doesn't measure up to the others. I sold out.
SHOP and TWLO- I sympathise. I sold them both. Still don't know if that was an error.
TTD IMHO it looks like a long term winner in the ad market. Big TAM. It may move tortoise like but move it will. IMO if I sell I will regret it. NVDA is also a holding. Similar story
NET This is an enigma for me. Early on I was convinced it was a competitor of and superior to FSLY so I traded FSLY for NET. Then Poffringers articles appeared and FSLY had its great quarter with a very upbeat remarks by the CEO. I realized I had been mistaken and so I switched back and added some. Good run up since then and one can't look back. so I suggest we look forward.
I really appreciate how you present your portfolio, color-coded for exits, entrances, buys and trims. I am still tinkering with my spreadsheet (actually, several sheets of data) and I will experiment with this, too!

Excellent thoughts and very thorough. Maybe you should think about starting a blog… 😃
Thanks for the reply.
