Portfolio Stock Sales History

The Tai Family Fund is reluctant to sell its holdings, so the number of transactions are small enough to be captured in this single page.

2024/12/20

Sold my whole position in PLTR and bought BN, PAX and HASI. The reason was detailed at the 2024-12-20 Portfolio Update. It's mainly due to my belief that PLTR Is too overvalued.

Sold my whole position in BXMT and bought PAX. The reason was detailed at the 2024-09-12 update at Blackstone Mortgage Trust (BXMT) Brief Analysis and Updates, mostly because of the deterioration of its loans portfolio in offices and multi-families. At the current share price of $18.6, I believe the expected return of the company is at most its recently cut dividend of $0.47 quarterly, which is about 10% annually. Based on the share price alone, I lost 1-(18.6/19.6) ~ 5.1%. Including 5 dividend distributions I got since purchasing it since June 2023, the gain would be (51*18.6+5*31.62)/(51*19.6) - 1 ~ 10.7%, so so for about 15 months of holding.

Sold my whole position in MPW and bought PAX. The reason was detailed at the 2024-08-22 update at Medical Properties Trust (MPW) Brief Analysis and Updates, mostly because of multiple occurrences of troubles from MPW's top tenants, which shows the management is quite incompetent, and the chance of going to $0 is non-trivial.

MPW was about 4% of my portfolio before today. I first bought the shares at 2023-08-24 Portfolio Update. My cost basis for MPW was $4.96 per share and I sold it for about $4.53 a share. The loss based on price alone was about 8.6%. Including the dividends received, the loss was about 0.3%. I got lucky.

Sold OPKO Health (OPK) at $1.28. I finally sold this free stock I got when opening my robinhood account. I don't know what it does, and I am not interested. This is not my money to win or lose, so I decided to sell it and forget about it forever. The share price was $2 and change when I got the share, so it didn't perform well, and it doesn't bother me.

2023/09/11

Sold SmartRent (SMRT) at $2.85 for a total proceeds of $937.25 because I lost confidence in the company after reviewing the several good points raised by the Bleecker Street Research short report. More details can be found in the 2023/09/09 update in the SmartRent (SMRT) Brief Analysis. I lost 21.3% in this investment.

Sold Store Capital (STOR) at $31.98 for a total proceeds of $1283.83. I earned 16.67% return on this investment, excluding the dividends received for about one year holding the shares. 

It was going to be acquired by Oak Street at $32.25, and the premium became so low that I decided to sell earlier than the closing date in order to purchase some tech stocks (TSM, AMZN, and META) which did horribly around that time.
