Flattered you would ask.  I will have to look at the VNO preferred.  Obviously, VNO presents a superior credit risk at this time.  I was going to buy VNO common to maintain my exposure, but Roth didn't help me get there on that last call (singing from the denial playbook and cutting himself off mid-rant and then calling out that he wasn't in the office lol). 

 

It sounds like I went through part of the same analysis as you did; plenty of upside if they're money good and less risk (of course then they're up 1% today versus 7% in the common).  I also transitioned my exposure to a tax advantaged account.  CEO and CFO were buying the SLG preferreds at around the price I got earlier in the year.

Same idea, but I bought some KW 2030 bonds in two of my tax deferred accounts. They are yielding a bit more than 10%. KW is overlevered imo but I think they just shed some properties by sending the keys to lenders or raise some equity if push comes to shove.

PYPL and MTCH. I will be dumping these like a Tinder date on the first (and latest) fuck-up (by management) or if the relationship (stock price) continues to decline. That's how I try to build a long-term relationship (with a stock).

Interesting.  I will have to check them out.  Of course I looked at KW and liked it back several years ago when they were hot.  Human psychology is weird.

PYPL looks pretty washed out and has a good balance sheet. A new competent looking CEO might move the stock. I don't like the high SBC, it is not appropriate for a business growing in the mid- high single digits.

More MSGE at $38.00 because I have no patience. When something is screaming value however, what's a few extra bucks? ...Right? My cost basis is still far lower than what it's trading for anyways.


EDIT: bought triple the previous amount at $35.75 a pop. Sitting at a bit 10% now. Cost basis less than $28 per share still.

You forgot about the heads I win, tails they don't lose much thing. That's the essence of private equity investment management.

 

If things wrong, they are losing other peoples or their creditors money. Worst case, they are also lose their reputation, but I think most wont get there.

And then there's this:

Curious on your thoughts on this vs Vno preferred? I’ve been buying some vno preferred in my retirement account, and thinking of making it a larger position. With the yield plus narrowing of discount to par there seems like a pretty good case for mid teens returns with less downside risk than the common. 

Yeah ok, hard to argue for the SLG prefs over the VNO ones; higher yields and better credit both cumulative.  Which series do you like?  I didn't read prospectuses yet.  Reminder to self you generally don't like prefs because, historically, the right tail is what drives nearly all equity returns.

Same idea - I bought some KW 2030 bonds in my retirement accounts. Yielding more than 10% to maturity. Not the greatest credit but I think they will pay.

We should probably just be buying more Comcast.  They're going to sell Hulu and the market is going to be like "oh dang they are good as heck at bidness."

I’m just getting comfortable with this position now, and now researching ALX as well per Dinar’s request. 
 

I had some nice busted preferred trades coming out of the GFC, and maybe I’m just a little bit of a closet yield pig after all. 
 

I started building a position in the M, which was the cheapest when I started buying, but I need to setup a spreadsheet to find which one is cheapest. I honestly tend to prefer discount to liquidation preference over yield, but that may just be internal bias.
