3). Is it somewhat of a moat business?
4). How long until the up-front costs of establishing the business begin to pay off?

Q: Trying to reduce my number of stock holdings. Have identified these 11 as small positions that can be eliminated. Intending to use the cash to add to stronger holdings.

If you were doing a portfolio clean up, and held these as roughly 1% positions, are there any that you would be reluctant to sell?
