DBA $26 Jan / 15 calls.   This is a tiny investment but I think the odds of a spike in grains is higher than the cost implies.   It will still probably be worth $0 but if it hits it could be 10,20,30, maybe even 40x.  Too many stories about drought out there and yet grains are fairly low.

CSTM, MU, CHK and BRK/B (Berkshire is now as oversold as it was at the 2009 and 2011 lows, despite only a minor correction).

Sold about 40% of my OUTR position today.

This is a continuation of my slow deleveraging to pay of margin debt and to raise a cash balance that I have been doing over the past few months.

I'll continue selling at intervals as soon as the gains hit their long-term status and the price stays around here or higher. Now that the shares are up 40%, I have to be more accurate in my assumptions of how quickly its business will decline for further value appreciation and I'm concerned about an overall market decline. I'd rather take the ~30% net profit over the last 12 months generated by margin and not be greedy and regret it.

Can you explain your thinking behind your view that BRK is as oversold now as in 2009/2011? Thanks.

Just purchased a speculative position in BBRY again as software revenue does seem to be accelerating. Somewhat "blind" faith in John Chen but the numbers do seem to merit some confidence in the guy.

BRK is now as oversold as it was in 2009 and 2011 on the multi-day money flow index, a good long term contrarian indicator how much capital flows in and out of a stock. Often times, this happens in a later stage of the bull market when a stock after a strong up movement becomes highly oversold after a 6 month consolidation or correction period, only to use this as a springboard for a rapid move upwards.

BRK/B is definitely not as undervalued as it was in 2009 or 2011, but is still reasonably priced, with an intrinsic value around $167 per share. It should be noted that the p/b ratio becomes increasingly less relevant, since the percentage of BRK/B's free cash flow derived from non-insurance operations grows rapidly and will continue to do so in the future, so that using a 1.2x p/b multiple yardstick will cause many lost opportunities to buy the stock cheaply, as that particular ratio will only be reached during severe market distress.

Thanks. The word "oversold" can mean many things, so I wanted to know which one you meant.

Cheers.
