 In this podcast, I will discuss indicators that are the catalysts for changing my  position. I had owned FSLY during its COVID driven surge in 2020, enjoying price appreciation from the $20 range in May 2020 to break $100 by August. After some disappointing earnings reports later in 2020, I began reducing my position in increments around $80-$90 and closed it in early 2021. The stock continued to underperform in 2021, dropping below $10 in 2022. While software infrastructure stocks in general have lagged in 2022 due to macro effects, FSLY began its slide in 2021. Yet, peers were hitting all-time highs.
