Added 20% to my LAACZ position.  ~8% expected gain on those additional units in a few months.

 

WTF just happened? Congratulations.

Added to MO, initiated a position in BRK.B (I know, sacrilegious that I didn't own this until now), short 11/19 63.50 ATVI PUT (to experiment with picking up pennies in front of steam rollers).

I like the ATVI.  I saw a blurb summary of a sell side report today that was like, "it could be long term horrible to loose an ace capital allocator at the helm of the company, but anyways it won't impact the next two years so let's roll."  haha. 

[ERICOPOLY]

Bought more ATCO today.

SWCH.

 

Amazing how under the radar this co is.  Just had analyst day yesterday.

Guides double digit revenue growth for next 10 years.

Guides best in class EBITDA margin 55% for mature properties

In the catbird seat for migration of workloads off enterprise into cloud / tier 4 colocation.

REIT conversion on track for January 2023.

Just a solid solid co that noone talks about.

 

A timely recommendation:

Per Reuters 11/15 Deals of the day:

** KKR & Co Inc and Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) will take U.S. data center operator CyrusOne Inc private for $11.49 billion in cash, the latest deal in a sector that has boomed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

** American Tower Corp agreed to buy U.S. data center operator CoreSite Realty Corp for $7.51 billion in cash to tap into a sector that has seen a boom in demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I'll suggest reading two writeups on VIC, https://www.valueinvestorsclub.com/

For me, I am mostly looking at bigger picture and downside protection. Plasma protein market will continue to grow for the foreseeable future. GRFS is in plasma protein oligopoly. Debt is being used to acquire smaller players in the market. The cost of debt is low, indicating no worries that company will not be able to debt/interest. I don't see a scenario where rev does not grow or margins suppress. The risk is that gene editing tech (CRISPR etc) makes plasma protein therapies obsolete, but that is really far in my opinion. Recent weakness in share price is due to debt and dividend cut. My time horizon and expectation is a double in 5 years.

Thank you very much, irnovo. I appreciate your calling attention to debt and dividend cut as current concerns of investors.

 

I will plan to start a new topic for Grifols in order not to interrupt "What are you buying today?" any further.

[E. Nashton]

Added to V and DIS. Still small positions. 

[Gregmal]

Added to the losers. MSGE and Z. Bit more DIS too. 

[boilermaker75]

I wrote some MSGE Dec 17 expiration puts.

[Monsieur_dee]

Wix and Disney

FIS. Averaging down. A smaller position that I plan to make larger.

 

Seeking advice about whether and how to attempt to anticipate tax-loss selling (share price > -20% YTD): should one expect the rate of selling to increase substantially toward the end of the year? or would that process typically already be well underway?

I'm certainly no expert, but in previous years I've often found bargains in the tax loss selling bin around the week of Christmas-New Years, there seems to be a combination of low volume and tax loss selling that can cause an extra steep selloff right before year end. Who knows in 2021 though, the markets are crazy.

Thank you, RedLion. It makes sense that lower volume might produce opportunity for weakness to intensify.

 

I should also have noted the potential effects of buybacks over that same period.

 

On 3Q21 earnings call (11/4), FIS management declared interest in buying back aggressively and described current valuation as a "generational buying opportunity".

 

There does not appear to be a topic for FIS; I will plan to start a new one in order not to interrupt "What are you buying today?" any further.

Added to GBTC and T, new position in VZ

 

Thanks
