....or down to.  His 3rd Q filing for Appoloosa report a 35% decline in value!!!! and this before the last 3months which were among the worst on record:

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4223833-tracking-david-teppers-appaloosa-management-portfolio-q3-2018-update

 

He apparently has liquidated many positions and has to be worried about redemptions as much as the volatility of the market.  So following Rivera and Hurney are WAY behind following the tweets from DC.  If he wants to replace anyone, it’s the bipolar guy sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office.

I kinda pointed this out back when folks were screaming that Tepper needed to come out and address them right now about RR and MH.

He has been saying he just hoarding cash for the past 3 months. He has some positions but he been waiting to go lower.

I think you might misunderstand what's going on here.

The value of the investments held by Appaloosa is 35% less than the last time they filed the same report.  This is driven by him selling off a lot of positions and going to cash.

Example: 

Filing 1:  Investor has 10 different positions worth $10 each..."portfolio value" = $100. 

Filing 2:  Investor has 6 positions worth $10 each..."portfolio value" = $60.  Cash = $40.  

In both cases total value = $100.  The "portfolio value" is down 40% but no money has been lost.

No idea if he has made or lost money on an absolute basis but he's not down 35%.

Thanks for putting that in a way that's understandable.

Excellent explanation, thanks

Sure thing.

One other thing to keep in mind as it goes to Appaloosa (and other hedge funds), they don't have to report the cash position, nor do they have to report their short positions. 

Clearly Tepper has been taking money off the table on the long side (makes money if stock price goes up), and I'm highly confident he's got his foot on the gas and is simultaneously adding to his book of short positions (makes money if the stock price goes down).

For those who might own a stock or two and want to see if Tepper owns any of the same names, all his long positions can be viewed here:

Market volatility is something guys like Tepper thrive on....I suspect he's having a good year (but that's just a guess).

      You're saying the same thing as I said.  Until Jordan becomes an active part of recruiting and funding, this school will continue to fall way behind.  But to say Michael Jordan or the Jordan brand doesn't matter anymore, which is what you said, is flat out wrong.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      I have not learnt my lesson and will always want Uber athletic profiles. Sorry, Im a whore about it.... Im not the right guy to defend Kenyon, I just have a understanding with this years draft, numbers, and panthers roster. He is more of "upside/project" and we are talking 19th pick here too.  I know about the years of all the mock drafts with TEs in them and I did want Pitts too.... Look I love the current TEs on the roster too, just this guy should be better than any of them at their best.  Right now I feel OT is the correct target, but panthers as a org are trying to win in 2026 than 2027. So tea leaves and all, Kenyon would help this year. You can even say flex him to slot for most of the snaps and think of tmac on smoke routes with Kenyon blocking for him. I just hate BY is the shooter..... warren, I would say he's the better prospect even without his rookie year, *but he was late bloomer like XL if Im right, plus age was 25ish?? Bears picked love above him, mainly cause of recs.  You can make a case that Kenyon is not a TE, but a moving weapon for offense that can be in the backfield, on the LOS, slot, and even X.... imean he's got XLs combine on some numbers.... He would be better to a offense mad scientist type...is that Dave? or is that bevell?? I think the Panthers should have him as a 19 pick, with others...
