nwoodman Posted April 23, 2022 Posted April 23, 2022 Trimmed BRK.B, FRFHF, USAP, ATCO, AAPL. Exited DIS, BAM, BABA. all very small positions. Mainly tax matching and reducing the risk of sleep walking into a potential margin call if this really gets a head of steam up. We shall see. I can’t think of a better inflation pass thru entity than Berkshire but the market is thinking the same and has bid it accordingly, as much as I hate to say it I don’t want to get caught out on a mortality trade. The 50-60% drawdown test is all too real.

Pros: railway and some other businesses (eg See's) have pricing power Cons: little fixed rate debt to get less valuable. Utility cash flows are a fixed % return on capex, but paid in depreciated dollars. The longer duration insurance float is a risk - they took premiums upfront in past year dollars and will pay the claims at higher inflated prices.

Higher interest rate hurt private equity’s ability to buy companies and thus benefit Brk’s ability to get more deals done
Spekulatius Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 (edited) @sleepydragon Private equity has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of low interest rates and high asset valuation. These business could be in for hard times, if valuations compress and the cost of debt goes up substantially. Edited April 24, 2022 by Spekulatius
Agrippa07 Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 got extremely lucky with timing, closed puts on Tesla 815 - May 6th, which I initiated on Friday as a small hedge position
Saluki Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Trimmed some HHC. I love the assets, but they keep switching out management and saying things are getting better, but I don't see it. Investing $50 million in a restaurant chain? Really? How about buying back more stock or a dividend instead? I'd love to sell all and add the whole position to my JOE holdings, but HHC is cheaper than I'd like to sell at and JOE is higher than I'd like to buy at. First world problems?
CorpRaider Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 SPY. Testing period in value + trend account. aaaaaand I'm out.
Spekulatius Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Sold VMW in my IRA's. Worked out OK , thanks to the offer from $AVGO. Edited May 27, 2022 by Spekulatius
Viking Posted May 27, 2022 Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Cut my Recipe position in half. It was a ST trade; up @5%; time to sell some. Also selling other smaller position for quick mid single digit gains. I expect lots of volatility in the coming months. As long as inflation runs hot and the Fed continues to hike rates. QT begins next week I agree there is lots of opportunity in the stock market today. But my main investment strategy continues to be capital preservation. Until the Fed reverses course. Which will ONLY happen when financial conditions have tightened sufficiently; and we CLEARLY are not ‘there’ yet. Edited May 27, 2022 by Viking
