Closed #CTA.L. Was able to sell 50% of my position at 34.3p and rest at avg 32.2p. There is no split of revenue but I guess majority of the new orders were from Mexico and 25% tariff could hurt. Depends if CTA sells to OEM in Mexico or directly to OEM in US. Either way current trade war is no good.

#CTA.L Good update. Some key points,

1) Mexico plant can do 3x revenue with no further investment. Should benefit from US near shoring. Trump tariff threats exists.

Doubled my large position in #3UKS.L @ 236p. Nasdaq is on track for having its biggest one day loss since Sep-22. DeepSeek will have its effects on Magnificent7 and considering the weightage of US index, we could see close to 5% downfall by this Friday.

Opened a large position in #ALPH.L @2170p. Trading update last few years in mid-Jan.

Client balance in Q3 £2.2bn. Interims mentioned macro concerns, with Q3 balance increasing, macro effect should be minimal. Around £84M in interest income FY24.

Risks : New CEO, Alternative banking softening.
