As part of a new approach to LOTM information, we will share charts of positions held and of LOTM companies of interest we may not yet own. We will post this update on roughly a four week cycle.

There will be very little on the Company, Products, Capital Structure, Fundamentals or Valuations. We are available by appointment to share verbal thoughts and comments for subscribers of LOTM.

Our three-year-performance of companies held in one of our accounts related to LOTM is below. Most of these names are in this portfolio.
