Some of the more interesting opportunities in credit are the Bitcoin miners (now AI datacenter developers) that issued converts before signing a major lease. $KEEL is one of them. The stock ran up in June, then collapsed, and has barely recovered since. The converts are in the 80s/low-90s. Not distressed or even yield equivalents but something I'm keeping my eye on. Traded as low as 60 earlier this year.

@ChrisAngelini11 @AFMBlog @GameStopKing @trvsrdrgz2 probably, but I have not held $AMC down 99 percent.

This is why X is awesome! Check out this writeup on $BMBL that outlines the worst case scenario well and how the stock could still work. “I like to look down before looking up when I invest” -Joel Greenblatt https://t.co/9O6qmH9QdS

yes I am a miserable fuck. There are several things I like. I like that hedge funds bought $AMC debt at pennies on the dollar. I like that Apes kept buying $AMC as the stock count 20x - and the money went to hedge funds. I like that Apes have thus lost a lot of money to make hedge fund managers richer. And I will especially enjoy it when $AMC eventually fails. Now you know what makes me happy.

To $FOUR credit, they've already been buying back lots of stock and recently killed the Up-C structure (which are terrible) https://t.co/0kRHGBybWV https://t.co/BBTKz873dC

The only industries where obvious capital allocation lingo is useful is leasing / banking / insurance. It's much more nebulous in operating businesses that do real things. $AER ceo saying the cheapest commercial jets are on the NYSE under the ticker AER is easy to understand. As math is pencilling out cost of new orders vs buying back stock. $FOUR competes in the real world. Leasing/banking products are fungible. Much harder biz to forecast. Cap allocation is still important, but a lot harder.

@theotheraharon But i'm looking for ideas that have been specifically impacted by the degrossing event. Not sure $MXCT or $RARE are correlated to that. The idea is find stocks that are irrationally selling off or getting bid due to the degrossing, then pick your spots from the list you find.
