What's your single largest holding? Read comments for ideas.

It's uncomfortable and taboo for many to talk about their personal investments (unless of course they had a big winner!)

Surprisingly, people are often candid with this question:

"What's your single largest holding"?

$PTON Peloton InteractiveThread

1/ $PTON Peloton subscriber churn looks to me to be around 20-30% per year. But they reported churn of 0.7%!!
Math with me here.. the reported churn is a 'monthly' churn, calculated as net cancels in the period, divided by 3 months. So 0.7% = 2.1% per quarter, or around 8.4%/yr.
