Hello everyone!

I decided that future posts I will still keep subtitle for “Topics for this week” while adding a quote as a icebreaker.

For this week’s quote:

“We’re not smart enough to dance with all the dances.” - Chuck Akre

Portfolio Discussion

As of 12.14.2021

Not much has changed since last week, I don’t really pay attention too much to macro stuff (except that I know nothing good is happening yet in the world) I have been adding to $TWTR $SPOT $WWE $IAC $CVS and $SSSS (on $SSSS more later on)

If you are $TWTR shareholder I highly recommend listening to below episode from The Razor’s Edge

If you are $CVS shareholder and haven’t looked into CVS Health® Investor Day 2021, I highly recommend you do!


Looking into $SSSS

$SSSS or SuRo Capital Corp is an investment arm of Global Silicon Valley. Suro went through a few nameSuRo Capital, formerly Sutter Rock Capital and GSV Capital, is a Nasdaq-listed BDC designed to provide access to high-growth, venture- capital-backed emerging private companies changes (formerly known as GSV Capital and Sutter Rock Capital)

Elevator Pitch:

SuRo Capital is a public VC that invests in private companies and exits them after they go public via IPOs or SPACs. If/when private company is exited successfully (by Suro) SuRo usually keeps some capital for future projects and gives back the rest via two options 1) more shares in $SSSS at full dividend distribution amount or 2) pays out dividend at a lessor amount (shareholders decide for themselves what they want).

They have already successfully exited Palantir and looking to do so with many others, one caveat is OZY due to allegations.

I’m currently holding 1 share as a tracker, while I’m doing more research.
