Started a position in SONO. Brand recognition, great balance sheet, margins are good, '22 PE of 15 and growing at 15%+. Audi deal and they successfully defended their patent against google. Every Sonos household buys on average 2.75 speakers and their music subscription service is getting traction. I see this becoming the Apple of home audio. 

 

 

Their products are decent but pricey as hell. That said I'm an audiophile who can squeeze a penny so I probably shouldn't be projecting that onto their customer base. My buddy spend like 3k on sonos equipment for his spot, just because it's the easiest platform for whole home audio (with actual speakers - not counting amazon/google home devices)

Bought some more OZ. To my knowledge it's the only stock in the world that gives you an immediate tax deduction when you buy it. It's a dollar for dollar tax deduction where you write off 100% of your purchase price, retroactive to last year so you get to claim the deduction on your 2021 tax return, and to boot it's selling below NAV.

Yesterday I freed up some cash and today I pulled a Greg (bought PSTH as a cash sub with upside optionality)

 

Past week or so I've been picking at things, generally in order of size: 

MSFT under and around 280

Berkshire under 300

Bought some T in the 24s

The RE plays everyone loves (CLPR<9, AIV<7, MSGS<70)

C around 60

Bought some damn SNC that Dazel and Gabe love although I may eat my hat there

 

A bunch of stuff I flipped intraday 2 days ago when the market swung like +/- 7% in a few hours.

Pretty much my strategy is: wake up, if the market is tanking, try and buy some quality stuff. 

Go skiing for a few hours. Come back, if the market is now up 5%, sell half that stuff. If not, wait till tmrw.

could you please explain how it works?

Started a position in BUR at $9. I had a previous roundtrip trade with this in the aftermath of the Muddy Waters short report where I exited at $10.20 and have been following the company since then, and feel like this is a good time to start buying in.

Used to own it. Total shame what happened to the company. Literally nothing from the clown report turned out accurate but reputational damage here was massive. Basically pure smash and grab as Cohodes calls it.

Agreed regarding the reputational damage to the stock. I got lucky because I had a starter position going into the short report and ended up buying a large position at under $6 US and ended with around a 50% gain in a few months exiting just over $10. I've been watching the share price tread water since then and think the long term upside could be huge if they're able to scale up this business model, it seems like a logical takeout candidate for an alt asset manager if the strategy can be proven. 

 

I have some personal experience with litigation finance, and there are a lot of shady small operators in this space financing personal injury cases, etc. Burford seems to finance serious blue chip  litigation by comparison, has more ties in the United States, and is starting to play with third party capital for a pretty huge carried interest %. 

 

So if they really can keep pulling 30% IRR on these non correlated litigation financings then this seems like a really good place to be over the medium to long term. Covid definitely has delayed a lot of litigation, but my understanding is that BUR will likely be able to recover higher total fees based on its funding agreements the longer a financing remains in place.

Took some trading profits

 

Starter position is good ole Disney

 

Also curious re: the previous comment on Belpointe OZ re tax deductions. Per their whitepaper you can invest capital gains realized from any investment from the prior 180 days, into OZ, and claim a tax deduction on those - not realizable for the lesser of 10 years or when you sell OZ? 

 

Why not take all my cap gains over the last 5 months of 2021 - buy OZ for that amount, sell OZ a few days later, and defer that entire taxable amount to 2022? Could I then repeat the process in another 180 days?
