I exited my $MLP. After spending a lot more time on this name, I no longer have confidence in the thesis. While I believe there is tremendous asset value, the time to monetize keeps getting pushed out, and the costs to achieve any reasonable realization could be large. I am also concerned that Steve Case doesn't have as much skin in the game as the market thinks, given that he has margin loans out on his position. https://t.co/TePual6ezP

$WDFC results are staggering when you read through them....then you get to the guidance and it does not reflect the monstrous quarter they just posted (relatively the same as the guide from Q1)....something is off with this company, they are either one of the worst non micro cap companies at forecasting their business (not a great endorsement of management and their processes). AND/OR they are playing games with inventory to influence the stock. I will reserve my own comments for private, but if you look back in recent years there are some odd swings in Asian /Chinese inventories in given quarters. Fascinated how a product that has been around forever with wide distribution posts a +30% print in Americas, 24% company wide. And the guide moves from 5-9% to 6-9% growth for the year?? What is going on?

@GardinerIsland $BSM has kinda muffled volatility relatively speaking if you don't mind a K-1, have a pretty good plan to grow production on their land next ~5 yrs (they own royalty interests), systematically hedge ~75% of production.
