Yes, it was a typo. New ticker for Nextera energy partners. It dropped so much after the dividend was cut to zero that it looked good again. Probably take a year or two to see some price improvement but I can nibble along the way.

Thanks; sorry I should have picked up that it was NextEra.

 

And thanks for the analysis on it from a few weeks ago - I didn’t know anything about it prior to that. It’s interesting and I’ve been thinking about a small position.

 

I do wonder what stops them from just getting themselves back into the same situation again over the long-term (over leveraging with CEPFs). Maybe they’ll be more disciplined. But I guess the reality is that this is probably a 2-5 year story with constant re-assessing, not something to buy and put in a coffee can.

All these traders selling a great long term company like Nintendo... You guys are crazy! 

[Gregmal]

Well how many of you guys have Nintendo weighted north of 20%? 
 

Like I said in another thread, if it’s a 5% position, then yea what’s the point in trimming? But at larger levels sometimes it’s just about managing the size.

Not me - but I got to love the confidence! 

 

At least enough to make it interesting for me.

[Paarslaars]

Yeah wasnt referring to you cutting 20%, you mentioned it was position sizing.

 

For me it is currently 24% of my personal portfolio, most of the position was bought in the 5000-7000¥ region. Though this equates to roughly 15% of the combined portfolios so I guess I am still undersized.

If it was in my brokerage sure, but I held it in my Roth so I have no problem flexing in and out of tax free positions (Brk.b as well). NTDOY, love it long term, but the stock has gone up ~30% in a month on news that isn't all that new imo. Great future and great business moves. 

 

@Gregmal After the runup this was getting close to 12% for me. If it wasn't in my Roth I likely wouldn't have trimmed. Debated trimming to just 5% but figured why not with how this thing swings around (famous last words).

BAH

[Gregmal]

Haha yea I’m somewhat joking around but I think trading around the core to a certain degree is helpful. Ive had a ton of stuff that’s worth having a position in but too much capital tied up in stuff I already like, so perhaps its boredom driving me but I want to own a few more things and ringing the register a bit to do so accomplishes that. I would be pissed if Nintendo went back to $12-14 and I didn’t at least have a little to show for it.

5% for me, but wish I went 10% when the CEO confirmed backwards compatibility

What's your thesis? BAH is a total mess internally. They are losing contracts and people are jumping ship. BAH is also pure gov play and don't have commercial contracts to offset (unlike ACN which lost $1.5B or so of contracts already).

My gambler's crystal ball sez... there's a better than 66.7% chance that you can buy back at a significant enough discount to make it worth your while sometime during the next 2 years!

How about CACI?

BAH has something like 35% of their portfolio in civilian, and a lot of them are getting hit very hard (cfpb is $0 now). CACI is a bit more insulated because of its technology play but some of their service contracts are looking weak (e.g., part of USCIS that handles inbound immigration, etc.).

What about opening an account with library  and get online access for free?

 

Part of my stingy me dies when I see people spending on things that are freely available.

 

How do you get this? I am in NYC and I can't figure out how to access value line online via my library. It looks like I have to go in to look at it in person.

Here's the Value Line link from NYPL. You will need the bar code number from your library card. Get the library card, if you haven't already. Or apply for a digital card if you don't want to visit a branch.
