Position Update: Mid-February

The S&P 500 is on track to reach new all-time highs this month, despite growing concerns over Trump’s tariffs and trade wars. Rather than chasing stocks at extreme valuations, I believe there are still value opportunities for those willing to look.

Here are some of the positions I find most compelling for the remainder of the year.

New Positions
