Transactions
Acquisitions
I added to my positions in the following companies:
Paysafe ($PSFE)
iRobot ($IRBT)
AbbVie ($ABBV)
Shopify ($SHOP)
Facebook ($FB)
I opened a new starter position in Airbnb ($ABNB). This is a company that I had been watching for a while. The lockup period expired recently which resulted in the share price falling within a reasonable range for me in terms of risk/reward. I am expecting a real boom in travel and tourism post-pandemic and Airbnb gives me more direct exposure to this industry in addition to the exposure I have with Disney. If you are looking for a bit more details on Airbnb check out Watchlist Q3 2021 as it featured in this article.

Final Words
This month I significantly increased the weighting of Facebook and Shopify in my portfolio. At the end of June these stocks were the 12th and 15th largest positions in my portfolio however they are now the 4th and 9th largest respectively. This was a deliberate move and is supported by another quarter of exceptional growth from both.
