“Joint Chiropractic (JYNT) – We have sold the remaining 6% Core Portfolio position in Joint Chiropractic at $17.50-$18.50 price levels, resulting in a 200%+ return on this investment. We are still big fans of the business model and the CEO; however, we felt that the price has gotten ahead of its fundamentals while an increased risk of potential copycat competition modeling on the success of the Joint’s chiropractic subscription service model was not reflected in the stock price. We will continue to follow the company closely and hopefully be able to invest again at much better prices relative to fundamentals.”
