ni-co Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 Nobody's buying today? I bought some BX (Blackstone) at $24.25. I'd be careful with this one. Essentially, this is a leveraged bet on the S&P500 and the credit markets.
TwoCitiesCapital Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Covered my short of NFLX for a 23% gain in a little over a month. Still think it goes lower from here, but covering to lock-in some profits just in case I'm wrong to be bearish here. Added 15% to my FCAU. Reinvested dividend in SAN to increase exposure by ~1%.
Guest Grey512 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Bought BIDU again. Closed several shorts (TSLA, CVX, UA).
TorontoRaptorsFan Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Nobody's buying today? I bought some BX (Blackstone) at $24.25. I'd be careful with this one. Essentially, this is a leveraged bet on the S&P500 and the credit markets. I'm confident in their management. Like Brookfield they're able to raise large sums of money to invest. And by far they're the largest private equity player out there who will snap up some bargains if things go south.
John Hjorth Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Added today to my "probe" of LUND B.ST [L E Lundberg Företagen AB ser. B, Sweden] from the beginning of November '15 [about six fold], so that it is now about 1,2% of total portfolio.
Agrippa07 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Opened position in Exor.spa, have been following the company for more than a year, should be a good long term investment..
NewbieD Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Added some more barbaric relic since it looks like more Money-Printing might commence soon. Bought some in a Merger arbitrage (MEDA-Mylan)
petec Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Funny, I have been thinking about buying some barbarous relic for the first time.

plato1976 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 bought gold at this level? what's ur target? Bought gold. Shorting more SPY.
Guest Grey512 Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 plato, $1,600 on the underlying for gold. $1,300-$1,500 on the underlying for the S&P. Speculative trade.

I'm building positions over time. Most likely I'll buy more of this thing later.
bargainhunter Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 CSAL. Ridiculously undervalued at these levels. Now yielding 15%.
dyow Posted February 16, 2016 Posted February 16, 2016 Picking away at some energy names. Just like Seth.... 13F Insights: Seth Klarman Says Goodbye To Deep Value NOVEMBER 16, 2015 Seth Klarman's Baupost Group is trading in deep value stocks for flawed commodity ones, or so it would seem. Unless, of course, you're one of those that believes commodities can be considered deep value. In which case, you probably shouldn't be reading this to begin with. Now to the fun - Klarman added 47% to his Cheniere Energy (LNG) position, which is still the fund's largest holding - making up 18% of the portfolio. It kept the Viasat (VSAT) position steady - 2nd largest - and added Alcoa (AA) to the portfolio ti make it the 3rd largest holding. With that - Klarman's exposure to the materials industry goes from nil last quarter to 14%. And Energy stocks still make up 39% of his portfolio. Cheniere is not a play on commodity prices, that might sound ridiculous considering it sells liquid natural gas, but the core theme behind the investment is not a rebound in commodities prices. Actually you could make a very good argument that low natural gas prices, and even low oil, will help Cheniere bc it is a low cost provider. The company gets paid a fixed fee from customers. Any rebound in international LNG prices is just additional upside.
