Hey, I'm wondering what happened to cause this company to move 20% in a day.  Why did you decide to buy calls?

 

Mfcb calls

MFCB owns a royalty on an iron ore mine that has shut down in Canada. Tacora, the private company that owns the mine announced they had closed the funding on the 27th. This is a big deal, as it should be $20 MM+ in annual revenue at 100% gross margins for a company that has a market cap of ~$60MM after the move.

 

We talked a but about it in the ALS thread.

Took a position in sec.to.  PB was around 0.55 based on Sept 30 numbers, book would have dropped for sure over past 2 months but still should be around 0.6 book.

BAC; down 11% in 2 days... Trading at about 10X 2018 earnings.

 

Perhaps the end is coming... I doubt it :-)

Just heard from my daughter. Now they have pouring rain, which will probably result in more losses caused by mud slides.

 

If you remember Dan from the BMY board, he lives in Malibu. He is fine. They had power out for a couple of days, no mail or internet for 9 days, problematic road closures — all small stuff in context.

[SmallCap]

Dipped my toe in the water with WY at 25.15

Honestly, a stint of good humor in this carnage does not harm anyone. -Which also brings me to the point: What have you been buying today, Jurgis? [The answer for my own part to that particular question is: Nothing].

Sorry, but I don't post day-to-day purchases and sales.

 

I'll post my monthly activity as always on SI and my blog.

I'll let it go from here, and stay away from it here on CoBF going forward, as useless, from my own personal perspective.

I put 85% of my portfolio into BIL today. This is the 3 month treasury bill ETF.

I am not seeing a lot of opportunities right now, so I am patiently waiting and spending a lot of time researching.

For people who bought AAPL thinking it is cheap, don't forget Cisco lost 90% in 2000 before it turns back up. AAPL changed its reporting metrics. This is a big red flag.
