Bought RGR for $49.29. This is a play to honor the grand Turkey Gods, going into the season of giving…rifles before a new wave of anti-gun policies get thrust into the regulatory process.

I will sell before the end of the week.

Cash stands at 30%.

I drained much of my remaining cash position, adding to BAS and CCJ.

I’m committed to a holiday rally. I have only a trace amount of cash left. I have not dipped into margin trading.

If a bottom doesn’t materialize within a week to a week and a half, I will reassess.

I closed out the SKUL trade down a fraction of a percent – a wash.

The squeeze I was looking for sort of happened, but I thought I could get more out of it than 10%. Now, I have nothing.

I will continue to hold long SKUL going into their November 1 earnings announcement, but not through.

I have conducted only narrow due diligence on the name, which amounts to going “yep, they have enough cash to not go bankrupt anytime this year.”

I have no interest in owning a headphones maker.

This stock is purely for the squeeze. And that squeeze is going to intensify going into earnings, as nervous shorts realize that at current trading volumes, it could take the better part of one month to unwind the stocks entire short position.

The shorts are the ones who must respect earnings. Not I.

As for the earnings themselves; I’m not interested in them.

I bought some more CCJ for $21.32, bringing my total cash position to 15%.

I added a few percent onto my AEC position for $14.84, bringing my cash inside of 20%.

At this stage, it’s a 5% dividend even without further appreciation. I’ve ranted enough about the treatment the stock has received over equity raises and cap-rates – the stock is cheap. I’ll spare you a 6 page diatribe.
