It’s Always Interesting

Everything was going smoothly until a fucking IED detonated besides my hedonistic stretch limousine, sending “The Fly” vertical with his head on fire.

One of my larger holdings, GSVC, announced an offering of $100 million, in order to raise the stakes—using proceeds for private equity investments. For me, the story just got better, despite the dilution. This is to be expected. However, I did not anticipate an offering so soon. However, on the other hand, looking at the private equity boom, why wait? Obviously management is okay with taking a little short term pain for long term elation.

This doesn’t really set me back too much. Actually, I started buying GSVC in the $16’s. On this news, I added to my position and will be adding more, after I speak with management, providing they say the right things.

Aside from that, everything else is going swimmingly. This hiccup should serve as a reminder to stay diversified at all times. While this is blowing up, I have VCLK, GORO, CRZO, ANR and FORM shooting higher, not to mention my new position DECK performing admirably.

In short, yes, I still love GSVC because I am a greedy bastard and this is the best way to play the booming private equity market. Mike Moe knows his shit and I trust they will invest the money wisely.

UPDATE: I added to GSVC sub $17.

      Fly doesn’t accept stock advice. A lot of the rest of us here do. Next time, don’t send him a twitter. Post here on the board.

    I’m thinking sell the GSVC. The equity offering dilutes their facebook holdings.

      Not today. I’d expect another slight dip. People with gains will lock in tiny profits out of fear. Let the weak be shaken out and then accumulate after it stabilizes.

    Just a heads up that $YHOO may be ready to detonate to the upside with tonight’s earnings. Is it possible $GOOG may be buying them out (highly unlikely)?

    I don’t understand why you wouldn’t have used a trailing stop to lock in at least some of your gains on GSVC.

      Ha, whatever, it’s your money. It would’ve been the better move in this case.

      Props on never copping to a mistake.

    Going up because of supposed progress on debt ceiling agreement, because if agreement does occur, the U.S. won’t default on its bonds.

        I was looking for a better entry point to GSVC for a few days and it kept ripping higher, so I got my opportunity today and couldn’t pass it up. Been buying the dips and selling the rips in WNR for awhile now, so I’m sure I’ll be back…
