Covered OSK, Bought NRP and NM

I covered my OSK at $38.75 from $36.41 for a mutilating 6% loss.  It’s remarkable that an auto supplier can do so well, despite having so much shit on their books.  If there was a short I felt safe with, it was this one.  Thank God I only used it as a hedge.  If I had the mindset to try and make money off of that, it could have killed me.

In the meantime, I’ve gathered more shares of NRP, increasing my stake by a nice chunk.  Those are handsomely rewarding me, as I write, running past $24 a share.  The best thing about that stock is the spread between its dividend yield and my marginal interest.  It essentially services itself; an important distinguishing feature, in the world of today.

I just purchased NM at $6.20; literally, I had to go back and add this line.

FUQI seems to be sprinting here.  I purchased some of that a week or two ago.

At the moment, I have a compelling interest to wash PNY off my books, north of $26, and will be doing so at the first available moment.  That was a good trade, but it has since dwindled, and I don’t care to stash those shares in my long term reserve.

Have you seen GKK lately?  I have.  I’ll be grateful I stashed those away, before the end.  Wait and see.

In closing, I’m holding GKK, LPHI, MGM, MO, NM, NRP, PNY, RMCF, and FUQI.  I’m still short PAY.  I desire to add some water services and utilities stocks, as well as to regain a position with an oilfield service company that offers a larger dividend, provided this run down in oil holds and drags a few under with it.
