TPCA @14.6$ - ever owned a casino stock with net cash and below book? TPCA has a book value of 25.3$, was bought out of bankruptcy and is majority owned by Icahn. Of course, the fundamentals for their properties are not the greatest but they are profitable and visitor numbers to Atlantic city ( where one of their main properties is located) are weak but improving.

This article from whopperinvestments makes a good bullish case:
seekingalpha.com

(Don't miss the interesting comment from poster bankstocks in the comment section)

One thing that has not been mentioned in this article is the fact that New Jersey apparently will only grant online gambling licenses to applicants with physical locations on the state. This could open up another revenue stream for existing casinos.

Disclosure: I have a decent sized position.

Sold the rest of my BLT after the huge earnings miss for12.04$ today. I like it when I am wrong and still manage to make some money.

I also reduced my EVK.DE @27.3€. The last quarter was quite crappy with 0.34€ in earnings. Still an interesting company but I don't think it will go anywhere quick from here. I am still too much invested considering how fully valued this market is. But I am still finding stocks to buy....
