It only took 20 minutes for UDF to lose half of their market value before trading haulted.

Honestly, it depends on the person. I think that it is a great time to buy if you are a good stock picker. Options almost seem like a better play right now since it's all speculative anyways.

2) PV=3MM+12.528MM+346k=$15.874MM. I had a negative sign wrong :cheers:

From afar, frick both of those options as they stand. Your friend needs some degree of formal counsel beyond drive-by TD postings or he's going to get fricked.

1) PV=5MM+565k+4.52MM=$10.085MM
2) PV=3MM+3.65MM+346k=$6.996MM
Ok, I used a 2% risk free rate for these PV calculations which is a little bit high. But it looks like option 1 would be worth more. However he needs to account for the risk considering the $5MM is tied to profits over the 5 years period after the sale is made. You can call me out if these numbers are way off.

The End.

o you have an mba? I work in commercial real estate for a bank and would like to move to private equity at some point. I have a b.s. in finance and 2.5 years of work experience as an analyst.
You're going to laugh when I tell you. I am extremely lucky to even be interviewing with this company. It is a Canadian firm. I met with the CIO/President who did not even finish undergrad so maybe that's why they are giving me a shot.
I have a BS, no industry experience and am working on L2 CFA. They are looking for an analyst with 0 years of experience. Right now the commercial real estate market is insane in Dallas and maybe that's why they are looking at somebody with my background because I could be a workhorse on models for cheap. One of the analyst is chartered and maybe that is what made me stand out. As far as my chances of getting an offer, I just assume they are slim to none.

DIS is a steal right now after it tanked 20%. Iger is one of the best CEOs in business and you'll be happy you have a stake in it in 10 years. However, ESPN will be the ultimate headwind for the company. You cannot deny that.

Baron's isn't feeling the KMI purchase :rotflmao:
Translation- Buffet didn't really buy KMI so it's not good news. And even if he did, he sucks at investing so it's not good news :rotflmao:
quote:
Barron's Andrew Bary believes the purchase probably was taken by either Todd Combs or Ted Weschler rather than Buffett himself; Berkshire does not disclose which manager buys which stocks, but smaller holdings generally are initiated by Combs or Weschler, who each run ~$7B of the equity portfolio, while Buffett oversees more than $100B.
Bary also notes that KMI emphasizes distributable cash flow, while Buffett prefers to focus on free cash flow - "something Kinder Morgan doesn’t have a lot of... [KMI] has sizable capital expenditures beyond just the 'sustaining' capital expenditures included in its DCF calculation. As a result, it is not left with much free cash flow.
"Even if Buffett did take the position, Bary says he has not had a good investment record in recent years, and Berkshire may have a loss in KMI if it bought its entire position in Q4, as it fell sharply when the company cut its dividend by 75% in December.
Translation- Buffet didn't really buy KMI so it's not good news. And even if he did, he sucks at investing so it's not good news :rotflmao:

Did you go to home depot and buy some PVC and think..."I think I'll buy KMI. Pipes are awesome."

Seeking Alpha
Buffett seems to be picking value plays in the energy sector. What other value plays does the money board like in energy right now and why?
quote:
The Form 13F filing shows a 26.5 million share stake valued at $395.9 million. Others, including David Tepper and George Soros, have also initiated positions in Kinder Morgan.
quote:
Kinder Morgan has hardly been Berkshire's only investment in energy. Indeed, the company has been building a sizable position in the refiner Phillips 66 (NYSE:PSX). Since August 2015, Berkshire has accumulated 72.3 million shares of the refiner, good for a 13.7% stake. Interestingly, Phillips 66 has a considerable pipeline presence via Phillips 66 Partners (NYSE:PSXP).

Thanks TxTiger :cheers: I didn't even think about losing tenants. Appreciate the help. I think I also mentioned tax implications because NOI is pre-tax and IRR is calculated with after-tax cash flows. At least I got one part right.

They look cool but I'm not sure about function. I rock a pair of asics and they are amazing shoes and very simple. You should just go try on a few pairs and the ones that fit well google for reviews before buying.

No queso at Chipotle. It's ok and I eat there, but Freebirds and Qdoba are better IMO.
And OP, find a good california burrito. They are literally everywhere and I love dem fries in it.
