Covered Blockbuster
I covered my short of Blockbuster (BBI) at $5.76.
I'm pretty sure it still has downside potential, but it's a lot less than it was
when I sold it at $10.01. I still think that long term they're not all that
viable -- their business plan doesn't seem to understand the future of media
distribution.
I feel dumb for not
dumping my Montpelier Reinsuring (MRH) after Katrina struck -- it seems pretty
clear that insurance companies are going to take a short term bath from a
disaster like that. But I didn't, and now that it's dropped 40%, I don't feel
like it any more. If it drops another 25% I'll probably even pick up some more
-- they should do OK long term.
