Everyone's reasons are their own. For me personally there are some reasons that are more utilitarian in nature... and some reasons that are value driven.

I removed Tesla because it entered the S&P 500 after a huge run up. I own the car (and love it)... def the future. But I think the stock has been overhyped. There are more diverse ways to invest in EVs being the future vs "just buy Tesla".

On the other side... I removed FB because honestly I just didn't like the company (so a values reason). This was well before the whistleblower, etc. Was not looking at that one through a performance lens. Just wanted nothing to do with the company.

Most of my edits are removing companies that I already have too much direct exposure to.
