The online brokers aren't dealing accurate figures on microcaps. I was quoted down 30% on my two largest holdings. I thought what the hell and entered limits to buy more of both. Still waiting for fills at the quote :) Happy days..

The more I look at BRK's portfolio the more I realize how much leveraged crap they hold - e.g. CHTR. Sorry Warren/ apprentices. Whatever the indices do I doubt whether BRK will outperform them much..

Speaking of leveraged crap, looks like I just got another fill on AGN puts. Some pockets of the market are still seen as a shelter from volatility..

Wow look at the indices right before the close! This is getting good :)))

Re: "Speaking of...": Please don't. This is not a thread to discuss specific options plays or short opportunities. We're looking for more Ben Graham "Intelligent Investor" or late-stage Graham-type stocks. That's what I say we say we're looking for anyway (usually/mostly) --g-.

Fwiw, I'm with you guys on some buys today. I added to AHT-pe (nice recovery pop on Gommit's "pa"'s I notice. I got a fill on PSX. (This company doesn't look so easy to figure with all its business segments - midstream energy, chemicals, marketing. And it isn't even at lows. It must or ought to be somewhere in Mr. Buffet's circle-of-competence though- he keeps buying and buying. I've found it pays to follow him (and Grommit).
Also added to BRKb.

I'll build up my position in C if/as stock falls further -- if I don't lose my nerve or capital first. I continue to add to GOV (I have been assuming yield (now high yield) from leasing to government agencies beats the concern that investors have with management competence and/or non-alignment with shareholders.) I'll take more CSCO (p/e 12, half market cap in cash - should have enough resources to transition customers to cloud if they need to). Adds to several more, e.g. GILD, STAG, WCC, EPD, CYH, PSXP, MAIN, etc. All small buys.

For something not mentioned here recently, I got a fill for a seed position in Dolby Labs (DLB). Has cash, no ltd, profitable every year past ten. Has managed to triple revenues over past ten years and somewhat reduce share count. Somewhat positive article on its new business ventures here:

Speaking of shippers.....

ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2016) - Capital Product Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: CPLP) today announced that its board of directors has declared a cash distribution of $0.2385 per common unit for the fourth quarter of 2015 ended December 31, 2015.

The fourth quarter common unit cash distribution will be paid on February 12, 2016, to unit holders of record on February 5, 2016.

---------------

That one dividend payment is a 6% yield on the Wednesday closing price. Totally nuts!

80% of ammonia and nitrogen production is from natural gas, the rest mainly from coal. China and India use coal and oil, mainly coal. CF bet is on the unsustainable low cost of coal that will cause many producers to get out of the market, additionally they are betting that China cannot meet their export with the demand for ammonia and nitrogen.
If CF is right, the real short-term threat may be Iran, that sits on top of big reserves of natural gas and had its sanctions lifted recently. nevertheless their capacity to export it is still low and will be so for some time.

Until the world economy is drugged, commodities can stay low, but if US continue to raise rates an uptrend will start. Without free money the supply will slow down, IMO.
Oil is in the middle of a world price war and as soon as the victims start to fall we will have a huge volatility in the price unless we restore price control somehow. Volatility in oil will cause other commodities to be volatile.
