never thought I would say this- sold my vita $coco position for a decent 120%+ plus profit - held it for two years. the reason is quite simple- raised money to buy more of $VITL and the valuation of $COCO was just (coco)nuts. will be a net-buyer long term as and when valuation

the joys of pre-market buys: $VITL's PR is misunderstood by algos and they are dumping. bought a decent chunk.

since doubling down, I have been adding more and more to this position ($NZL.NZ) and is currently my second largest position. the discount to NAV provides plenty of margin of safety- and I am modeling 50% discount to their forestry land due to NZU pricing volatility and
doubling down on this position $NZL.NZ chair of the board Rob https://t.co/k8H7r49PIi is no joke. He is kind of an activist investor in NZL at this point. On Sep 30 they started a 'capital review' process with KPMG https://t.co/6K0vAs03gM and on Oct 16 he bought stocks on the

this worked out quite well. the note (baby bond $BWSN) was redeemed today.
$BW $BWSN tender offer is at $20. https://t.co/qvFbnPEi1W The original note was for ~150m with ~100m remaining. This tender offer, if successful, means 30m of debt will be left for refi. Given their profitable thermal business and solar business already marked for sale, I see

Although $FOSLL worked out quite well for me (exited the position with decent gain), there is a painful learning here. When investing in stressed debt, make sure the company can't abuse the UK restricting law to force their decision on you. If they can, they are going to cancel
this worked out quite well- I am glad I did not short $FOSL (my bar is quite high for shorting) but I did buy $FOSLL (thanks @finphysnerd ). I also bought $BWSN - similar theory: the downside risk is low compared to upside. There are plenty of baby bonds floating around with

Going the extra mile generally helps and can’t hurt. Many moons ago, (about 20 years ago I think) I had a job interview at Microsoft for a cybersecurity role. After a set of interviews, they gave me a real-life project— go through some source code files and identify security

going to start a position in $VITL tomorrow. it is fast becoming a high conviction bet. the current margins are depressed due to high opex for the new facility built-up. at current price, the market isn't looking forward next 2-3 years when the operating leverage starts to kick
$VITL feels like a buy at $31 P/E ~23 20–25% top-line growth 20–25% EPS growth No debt Expanding farms Expanding distribution Expanding SKUs Most investors still treat it like “just eggs” But it feels like one of those rare consumer staples names that’s just getting started

Bitcoin down 33% since the end of September. Any stock / bond with a cash flow would see its yield up 50%. But in this case….only backed by belief. Belief is down -33%. Tragic

Maybe we can dilute some shareholders to support loss making "asset" 😀
It currently costs $112K to mine a bitcoin only worth $86k think about that
