It is time, yet again, for the monthly airing of my private financial laundry. My hope is that maintaining a journal of my savings will help provide additional motivation to save and allow me to spot trends. It will also serve as a record, so that I can look back and analyze.

Merger Monday Comes to my Portfolio
Turned on Bloomberg radio this morning to some decent news. Gramercy Property Trust (“GPT”) caught a takeover bid from BlackRock at $27.50 per unit. As I mentioned before, I recently took a position in GPT. Also, there was a development late last week that might have yielded some additional “tea leaves” concerning Conagra (“CAG”) and Pinnacle Foods (“PF”).

Pod-tastic!
You knew that title was coming, didn’t you? It’s time for me to highlight another interesting podcast. [I wanted to get this out, so I can follow my usual tradition of posting at around 5:00 p.m. on Friday night. That’s a good technique, right?]
The Berkshire Hathaway Annual meeting is this weekend (if you’re unable to attend, Yahoo Finance will be streaming the festivities). So I thought we would look at some interviews related to the author of a book being featured in the Bookworm this year. Continue reading “Pod-tastic!”

The Telsa Tithe
Brothers and sisters, residents of the planet Earth, I come before you today with a convenient rationalization for something you already want to do. I come to propose to you a way for you to give capital to Elon Musk to fuel his fires of innovation, salvation of the human race, the planet, and yes…to build and sell cool shit.

Netflix, Disney, and Even Stranger Things
In case you were too busy “Netflix and chilling” to notice, Netflix’s (“NFLX”) market cap is essentially equal (Barron’s $) to that of Disney (“DIS”). NFLX is spending about $3.1 billion more dollars per year than it is able to bring in (“burn”). DIS is gushing about $10 billion net cash per annum after all of its investments and all of the money that Scrooge McDuck uses to wipe his tail feathers. I have seen stranger things…but probably not since the year 2000. Continue reading “Netflix, Disney, and Even Stranger Things”
