My top (>2%) positions in no particular order: MGDDY, JPM, MHNC, GLW, DRAGF, BKLN, LMCA, CF, BRKB, WDC, SPND, MKL. In: Out: Fixed income: ~16% Cash: ~16% New positions: MBNC, RYAM, 7399:JP, TESB:BE, PGN Positions increased: DE Positions reduced: GLW, STX, AITPF, BASFY Positions eliminated: VASTN:NL, DNOW Flip-flop: Though the market did not do much this month, I bought and sold more than in previous months. It remains to be seen if the activity was worthwhile. I sold DNOW distribution from NOV. It seemed to be expensive and not attractive. Sold Euro REIT VASTN:NL - not impressed with results for the last couple years and did not see bright future either. Continued reduction of GLW - not clear to me that it's worth current valuation, no clear positive outlook except perhaps auto-industry option. Sold some STX - WDC+STX is a bit large position and I decided to reduce. Sold some AITPF on valuation Sold some BASFY on valuation and Russia involvement. Bought more DE as the stock drops/goes nowhere. Company is shedding employees and predicting bad results. I might be early, but I plan to buy more. Established initial positions in MBNC, RYAM, 7399:JP, TESB:BE, PGN MBNC was mentioned on this thread. I don't believe it's very cheap, but it's interesting. RYAM is a spinoff that's also not cheap, but rather interesting for future prospects. 7399:JP - Japan industrial co., not great results, no moat, but cheap. Might be value trap. Discussed on Corner of Berkshire and Fairfax. TESB:BE - Belgian chemical company, now run by turnaround owner/CEO. Discussed on Corner of Berkshire and Fairfax. Not great current results. PGN - another spinoff discussed on this board. Risky offshore drilling small cap. Also posted on my blog: buffettstocks.blogspot.com
