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.
