. Given the comeback, we think it is appropriate to trim the position. We will realize a solid gain of about 20% on stock purchased in January 2022 On the buy side, we are adding to our Disney position. Shares our down about 8% from our previous 50-share buy in July, which was our first time adding shares since selling a total of 490 shares at an average price of about $118 in April. We think the box office success of “Inside Out 2” and now “Deadpool & Wolverine” is a sign the company’s franchise sequel strategy is working. Lastly, we are picking up some shares of Starbucks. A week ago, we upgraded our rating to a buy-it-here 1 after learning that activist firm Elliott Management took a stake in the coffee giant. We’re big fans of Elliott Management’s work and believe its presence should lead to much-needed changes. One more thing to note is that Starbucks reports after the closing bell Tuesday night, and our buy Monday is not a call on the quarter. We are expecting more subdued results, but the market should be too. We think Monday morning’s reaction to McDonald’s quarter — it’s slightly up despite a miss on revenue, earnings and same-store sales — is a good sign that sentiment in these quality global restaurant companies is washed out. Plus, if trends don’t get better from here and Starbucks’ operations do not improve, we think Elliott will agitate for new management that can fix the problems.
