I took a toehold position in OIBR. I could not resist the cheap price and the PT CEO taking the helm.

Altius. Iron ore can come down a ways and it will still be a good investment.

Opened a position in Altius.
If it goes down more significantly I'm gonna attack this stock like a starved animal would do on a wounded prey.

What's your thesis, if you don't mind sharing?

In the last couple of weeks we've been buying more cash and more index puts. Not much upside if the market goes up. but our portfolio could actually increase in value if the market takes a dive because of the quality of our main holdings.

I find myself in almost the same position of twacowfca. And I am doing nothing (except watching Wimbledon and listening to the new Kanye West’s album).

Pretty much the same here as well. I've seen quite a few movies over the last two months...only the last week have I found something to start looking at again. Also busy with getting the Offshore fund off the ground...will launch August 1st! I would be watching Wimbledon as well, but my man Nadal went out in the 1st round. Now I won't watch until the round of 16.

If anyone is looking for a good theatre movie to watch..."This is The End" is very funny...raunchy, juvenile humor, with some great writing. If you are looking for a good sci-fi film, watch "Looper"...excellent movie, wonderful acting! Cheers!

I haven't watched "This is The End" yet, but I surely agree on "Looper": excellent movie, wonderful acting!
