The 2020 Portfolio
I'm very happy with our investments this year, in particular some of the new buys. Northrop Grumman, Uber, Chipotle and Facebook have all been working hard for the portfolio. Northrop Grumman was an existing holding from last year. I added 7 shares at $344 and today it's trading around $373 against our cost basis of $312.77.
2020 will be another year of market volatility filled with surprises, sadness, joy and thrilling accomplishments in art, science, music, engineering, finance and I hope, advancement of the human condition. As individual investors we will not hide, fear or chase anything with euphoria. I hope that together we will work to understand not fear. We'll learn to think more and follow less. We will espouse our own ideas free of manufactured ones.
Today's BUYs
Nabriva (NBRV): Bought 6,500 @ $1.25
This is an existing holding that I'm happy adding to at lower prices. Today Nabriva declined to its 52-week low of $1.25/share. Nabriva is based in Dublin Ireland and has its U.S. headquarters in King of Prussia. Nabriva is developing CONTEPO, a drug that has the potential to be an important new treatment option for patients with complicated urinary tract infections caused by Gram-negative pathogens. In April the FDA rejected Nabriva's application but did not request any new data from patient trials or indicate any safety or efficacy concerns. The FDA's sole area of concern seems to be focused on a third party manufacturing partner. Nabriva has also sold institutional investors 13.8 million ordinary shares and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of another 13.8 million. The share and accompanying warrants are being sold together at a combined purchase price of $1.45. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.90 per share and can be exercised six months following the date they are issued. They will expire on the three-year anniversary of the initial exercise date.
After today's purchase the portfolio holds 10,000 shares of Nabriva with an average cost of $1.57
