I bought some Berkshire b shares. With Apple shares near all time high and Berkshire with probably very good results in August I think it's still cheap.

I had lightened up some positions recently and had a temporarily large cash balance, some of which I transferred to max out our tax free accounts for this tax year.

 

Like a few above, I bought a bit of BRK.B yesterday around $273-274 equivalent in those accounts.

I'm considering today writing/selling some 1 to 4 week BRK.B puts in boilermaker75 fashion around the $270-$275 strikes in my taxable account where I can trade options. Hopefully, I'll get a bit of premium income and then fill at some decent effective prices.

Continuing to play whack a mole, smashing the bid on weekly CLF puts. Also added a bit more JOE too today. 

 

Also started small BRG position earlier in the week. Disclaimer, dont follow me on this....its a shitshow schemeco IMO that hides behind great assets, but I think the force is strong enough on this one to grab $1-2 per share in relatively short order.

As I continue to do!

I bought a smaller position in a merger arb a couple months ago, NEWA, trying to pick up a 9% return from $3.35 to cash sale price of $3.65 in hopefully less than 6 months. 

 

But wierdest thing happened today. This weekend they announced shareholders had overwhelming approved merger, and it opened over $5. By the time I found out I was able to dump all my shares at $4.77. 

 

Announcer: It was not all his shares.

 

Too late I figured out I had a bunch of shares in a account I had taken out of my trading group and was only able to get $3.87 for the rest.

 

Still no news to explain this. It can't be a trading error, the trades went on for hours. This is the weirdest market ever.

Sold BRG for a quick 70c. Flipped proceeds into more PSTH.

Have been buying Suncor (SU) lately, with the latest purchase today at US$22.02.  Close to 20% 2022 FCFE yield if WTI oil can stay above US$60/bbl.

Why warrants? 

 

I picked up a little more common 

 

Well this is embarrassing. The reason is I forgot I had an outstanding limit order for it...

 

I usually have a bunch of orders outstanding at various price points for my holdings.

You mean you had a Ulysses contract with yourself to buy at a price in order to overcome the behavioral challenges inherent in the human condition?  You rational market participant you.

I was going to ask the exact same question as Castanza.   I picked up some more common today as well.
