Below you will find a response to all your points (in bold) from your last message:

Best of luck for those that are long the stock and kudos to Starfox for taking the time and effort to clearly aritculate some important lessons that I had to learn the hard way in
Hi Alex,
As other members have stated, I think discussion with the genuine intent of learning is valuable. This will be my last post on this thread because, as you rightly pointed out, there are better uses... login to read the rest
Trev,
It's an interesting question and the lack of such successful companies is telling. Leucadia doesn't fit (Steinberg & Cummings were relatively young bankers and did not run a fund), but is pretty close in spirit. ... login to read the rest

Light62,
You are obsessed with Alex Rozek (but I do appreciate that you are no longer falsely accusing me of being him). Rozek is no longer at the company. I bought my shares based on an... login to read the rest

It’s quite clear to me that you are trying to slant everything as negatively as possible (which you also did in the comment section of my Sky Harbour write-up here on VIC) where you falsely... login to read the rest
To add to Light, cash from ops is like $20M/yr after over $400M+ of cumulative investment according to your writeup. Even on your math, the bull case is they get to $40M cash from ops... login to read the rest
SamPR:
I appreciate your thoughtful questions and comments.
Regarding the negative ratings and the vicious comments by others: There are clearly people on VIC who viscerally hate this company, and anything connected to it. It’s very bizarre.... login to read the rest

Utah1009,
I have no idea what you are talking about and neither does one of the investors in Adam's fund who I sent your comment to. Adam’s investors consist of some of the most discerning allocators in
You honestly can't figure out what I meant by this? You don't see the issue? Geez...okay. Many things I could say but I'll bite my tongue. I notice you didn't attempt to answer the question.

Thanks AlexB. Indeed, it's a long list of significant insider buys, and it goes a significant way toward mitigating some of the corporate governance issues (although not absolving them).

Durableadvantage,
Thank you for the question.
I did not account for a liability for incentive compensation in my SOTP or FCF, because no liability would exist. As noted in my write-up, there is no incentive compensation through... login to read the rest

Thanks for the write-up. I do find it an interesting (and apparently variant) view. The discount to NAV is significant if that's an unbiased analysis.

I am quite surprised to see that this scores an average of 2.7 among 12 votes.
I thought it was quite a good write-up (but do not own the stock).
Would be interested to hear why others
Interesting write-up. Does your SOTP include a liability for incentive comp owed to Adam if those values are achieved? If not, what would that liability be? Thanks!
