Zscaler — closing a small position I kept just to watch

In progressZscaler (ZS)Decided Sep 30, 2026Review Dec 31, 2026
Decision
Sell by year-end.
Why
A watchlist is enough for following a company. I've decided not to add tech stocks for now.
Expected outcome
The position is gone by year-end — one less holding with no thesis behind it.
Options not taken
  • Keep it to stay close to the news.
  • Keep it as a starting point for when I revisit tech.
Since the decision
