Any specific reason you think it will be blocker? Or simply that they seem to want to block everything including two handbag companies. 

Yes every significant merger is going to get sued by the FTC and COF and DFS will have a high combined market share in credit cards. It is going to be tough to get this merger to close, imo.

Sold Para for a trade but am getting interested in buying Sony. I like the music and gaming divisions.  It's not Nintendo but solid at 15 times earnings. Big, high quality, conservative Japanese monster. Loeb went at it twice:

Started trimming the STNG shares I bought a year ago (up 50-60%). I wanted to wait for the better capital gains treatment after the one year anniversary. I want to sit on most of the older shares because I hate paying taxes 😰   But with cyclical companies, it always feels like the Ogre's feast fairytale where you can eat as much as you want at the buffet, and you can leave anytime, but if you stay too long, at some point they close the doors and kill all the guests.

Sold my PARA 15$ calls today as they will become worthless when the new deal is accepted. 

 

First SAVE then PARA, I really need to learn to take a profit on these calls quickly and move on. 😅 Small loss now...

Not by choice, but my payout from the acquisition of Shockwave Medical (SWAV) by JNJ just hit my account today.  I bought a small amount in Feb/2020 for $42.60 and received $335.00 today.

Thats a nice gain - almost an 8 bagger in 4 years. Congrats.

Trimmed some BRK.

I think a lot of the great investors park their cash at BRK, so I've been doing that.  What did you pick up with the sell?
