I bought some at lunch yesterday. Ill throw some money I can afford to lose at it. Ackmans had a lot of success but also Valeant so hopefully we get more of "Baby Buffet" than riding a company off a cliff. Pershings been on a real roll lately.
I skimmed part of the prospectus last night. Need to go back and read. Seems like buying now in a multiple of 9 units is optimal for flexibility. As you'll get a full warrant when the units break in 50 days.
I was trying to think what might be on their list to buy. Minority stake in a mature Unicorn
SoFi?
Stripe - this would be amazing but they just took another funding round. 2 years to close a deal though
Airbnb - I'd feel meh but it probably is a value investor type play. It was profitable pre-covid and probably pretty damaged in terms of how big a stake they can get
Palantir - they've flirted with IPO'ing last year
Unless they're going outside the US those seem like top targets. Airbnb seems to make a lot of sense. Pershings made a ton from the activist position it took in Chipotle after the scandal with making people ill from food poisoning [Reply]
The broad market became bearish on Friday. The analysis (from a highly respected group that is all about numbers and not emotion) is based on several factors, the most heavily weighted are corporate earnings.
The Fed balance sheet will move from it's current $5+ trillion to an estimated $9-12 trillion by the end of the year. Completely unprecedented. Printing money to cover paychecks and loans to individuals and companies.
Consuelo Mack had an interesting guest on her show Wealth Track today. It's an interview with the best bond investor in the last 35 years, Tom Atteberry. Quite interesting. Interview here if interested:

That's a great description. I've only been in it one time, when I was Christmas shopping and just browsing around many years ago. That is exactly the impression I had of the place. [Reply]

His only recommendation is to buy a house or other safe haven assets.
I often worry any time I see a trend of people who start to agree with my line of thought. I recently took some healthy profits and bought a house and am working on taking the rest of the profits for another. Even inquired about a third borderline shit hole today. I've also been hearing a lot of "gold" talk lately. In my case, I felt like the houses were a hedge agains the election results.
If everyone starts hedging against the apparent unknown, I'm now wondering what the next move needs to be. [Reply]

The housing market is on a huge bubble imo- prices don't support value in the KC area. If Biden wins- this economy will tank and those who have been overpaying will be stuck for years.
