My top (>2%) positions in no particular order: FRFHF, JPM, LMCA, BRKB, BAC, STRZA, SFY bonds, TESB.BE, DRAGF, FRMO, MKL, LBTYA/K In: BAC - bought more, STRZA - price increase, SFY bonds - price increase, TESB.BE - price increase, LBTYA/K - bought more Out: BKLN - sold, MHNC - sold Fixed income: ~13% Cash: ~17% Sectors (kinda): Insurance (including BRKB and FRFHF): 25%, Malone/media: 11%, Banks: 6%, Cars and parts: 1%, Oil 11%, Tech 2%, Various owner-operators (not included in other categories) 10% New positions: FMCKP, FNMAG, PRDGF, HAL, IBM Positions increased: GDWN.L, AGIIL, FRFHF, LBTYA, LBRDA, BAC, FRMO Positions reduced: MHNC Positions eliminated: BKLN, VRSN Flip-flop: This month there was a lot of change in my top positions partially through price changes, partially through purchases. There were also a lot of changes in fixed income part of portfolio. Fixed income: sold BKLN, sold MHNC - overpriced based on yield-to-possible-call. Bought more AGIIL - one of the few remaining somewhat attractive prefs. I sold VRSN position - not cheap enough to hold. On the buy side, I bought some lottery tickets: FMCKP, FNMAG - Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac prefs that might be worth zero if status quo continues. I do not count these as fixed income. PRDGF - startup investment vehicle of CoBF founder, currently losing money and overpriced based on assets. I decided to buy some IBM after continuing Buffett support and reviewing their 2014 10K. I bought some HAL, which seems to be reasonably attractive and quality company. I added GDWN.L, FRFHF, LBTYA, LBRDA, BAC, FRMO at rather mediocre prices. It's possible that I should have waited instead.
