February 2016 Performance

The January volatility carried into February and navigating through this market has not been easy. You have to be nimble and take profits whenever you can. The merger arb plays have continued to help me buffer this market volatility. Solarwinds was able to close in February and Keurig Green Mountain (Ticker: GMCR) is anticipated to close early March.

I’m doing some work on a few Chinese going private plays and looking to initiate some positions after the completion of Keurig Green Mountain. Talking about Keurig Green Mountain, the stock took a little hit today on no news. Keurig Green Mountain is anticipated to close any day now so I added to my position at $91.61.

I see this volatility continuing into March so the fun continues…

2016 Performance Year to Date = -9.12% with the running monthly returns as follows:

January -5.47%

February -3.50%
