Bought some more AIV. Flipped the ABNB tracker. Felt greedy looking for more than $20 per share in a couple days on something so obviously not worth what its trading for at the moment.

 

+1

 

 

Ride or die.

 

I just sold my starter ABNB. 30% in a week is just money growing on trees but it's so uncomfortable. Bought some AIV, ATCO, and bought back my 25% in KNOP.

Don’t get me wrong, I went from 25–>45 bps in AIV today (getting crazy!) and understand why people are buying it, but think that it was much more interesting to buy the package in the low to mid $30’s at 60% of NAV including the apt portfolio, than CrapCo/RemainCo is right now at 55% of company NAV.

 

Think my fellow AIV holders have a long and tough road ahead of them.

^It was, but IMO there was also a lot of other stuff floating around where you could make some easy money. In hind site, you definitely cant argue with buying the package(especially if you sold AIV at $12! on the spin), but right now there's substantially less value/opportunity I see, substantially more evidence of the bubble expanding(such as all those IPOs last 2 weeks), and IMO a couple weeks left until the clock strikes midnight and everyone does their predictable "its a new year, lets get serious again" routine. Ive got a lot planned for that oh so special week between Xmas and New Years where Robinhood hunting season is in full swing!

 

Agree on AIV, but Ive never let overhangs or "no catalysts" stop me. Bring on the $3s!

Wrote some WFC 29.5 strike, Dec 18 expiration puts for $0.21.

 

I wasn't assigned, even though WFC closed at 29.01!

 

Wow, that's quite a surprise, but I guess it can be a useful bonus that you can probably replace that exposure either with a higher premium or a lower strike at a good IRR. I don't do this as much as you, but I've never had that happen. The most unusual thing for me was to have a few contracts assigned to me a good number of days before expiry.

I used to have this happen on occasion, but only when the put was in the money by just a few cents. In the last few years, even when the put was in the money by only $0.01, I was getting assigned.

I had something similar happen. I had written WFC covered calls with a strike of 29.5. The covered shares got sold at 29.5, even though market closed at 29.01.

You covered call at 29.5 is essentially the same as my naked put at 29.5. There must of been an expectation of WFC opening well above 29.5 today.

Good lord, I bought 10 shares of Quantumscape when it was at $13 before the spac merger. I was going to research it but never got around to it. I have a 10 bagger but I only put a hundred dollars into it. I guess a thousand dollar profit is better than nothing. Too bad I didn't buy a 100 shares.

I decided on an experiment. Will help with my bubble project.

 

Live like a RH rockstar for a bit. So before heading out to the supermarket to grab dinner, I figured, lets do this. Went to StockTwits. Top trending stock, XL. Lets buy 100 shares. Due diligence? Fuck it. #1 Trending is all the due diligence one needs. If its trending, it must be the shit. Entered market order. Cuz limit order are for pussies. Filled at 31.13. Shut the laptop...didnt want to work too much harder. Got in the car. Peddled around the grocery store acquiring items for tonights stuffed peppers. Headed over next door to the liquor store to get the nights beverages. Drove home. Kicked on the laptops. Sold for $33.17. Definitely a much easier way to make money in the market than all this other bs Ive been doing for years now. Heck, some of my value stocks only do 6% a year.

It's an interesting time...  I follow this small company AirT, controlled by Nick Swensen, which I (unfortunately today) don't own shares in.  I have kept their filings in my RSS feed since Swensen picked a fight with Biglari.  I liked AirT yesterday and was encouraged by some news they filed after the close.  They have been really good at taking in PPP and Main Street Fed program money as well.  So today the stocktwits / robin hood crowd is suddenly aware of them because they are "low float" and "trending" or whatever.  This company usually barely trades and they have had to keep halting it all day.  First at 13 and change, now at 18.10, and they can't seem to get it to open again but indications are currently at 30 / share...  Just nuts to see it happen in real time.  Nobody cares what the news is or what the company does - just ultra low float and she's running!  Pile in!

 

One of the funnier quirks to this is the 1000% move in a warrant that entitles you to buy Preferred shares that haven't budged and can be purchased below par.  But I suppose people think AIRTW might be a warrant on the common...  It isn't.

Sounds like a formula for the new 21st century value investor.

 

Discover & buy, low float, thinly traded business.

Pump to WSB / RH crowd.

Dump.

 

edit: DJCO anyone?
