Disclosures of Possible Conflicts of Interest

This is not a list of companies with the best environmental, social, and governance practices.

Disclosures are updated periodically but not on a set regular schedule. I look forward to collaborating with other shareholders, where mutually advantageous. As of August 29, 2018, the publisher held a financial interest in the following companies and funds (some in multiple accounts), as well as Parnassus and an affiliate of Lawndale Capital Management:
