If you tender as an odd lot, you won't get prorated. It should be good for about $150 per account. I've done APF's tender offer three times in the past and it always goes smoothly.

Expiration: June 10
Tender price: 98% of NAV
Current discount to NAV: 10.87%
I don't see the docs on Edgar yet but I'm assuming it has odd lot since it always does.

I admit I made a mistake.

I strongly believe oversizing positions (due to concentrated investing or leverage) is a bad idea for most investors. Few have the emotional requirements and skill needed to succeed at it. You need to have conviction when positions move against you and more importantly you need to be right. If you have the conviction and you're wrong, that's when you lose big. Mistakes will be made, it's inevitable. The important thing is to survive them and learn from them, and putting huge chunks of money in a small number of stocks is a good way to blow up. This was my biggest mistake personally. I got lucky and was able to exit at a profit but it was a harrowing ride with huge unrealized losses in the interim. It could've easily ended with those losses realized. Never doing that again (hopefully).
