This year has not been the best for our portfolio. The 2 biggest positions $AESI (AESI Holdings Inc) and $ARE (Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc) are both significantly down, with $AESI having a -57% YoY and $ARE -51% YoY. Particularly for $ARE in December there was a flow of news, from a dividend cut that was pre-announced but confirmed now , an Investor presentation and yearly financial results report and a new Repurchase program. The report highlighted some turmoil in the industry but the price reaction was over the top. In the past some of my biggest regrets were going to small positions and selling too soon. This time I may have over corrected too by going in too soon and too big, only time will tell. I still think both companies are positioned to deliver great shareholder value in the future with their buyback programs going on while their stock is depreciated.
