Larimar Therapeutics Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Down -34.5%

It was another calm month for the Easy Income portfolio. Some investments went up a little, and some went down a little. We collected dividends along the way. This is exactly what the Easy Income Portfolio is designed to do.
I am pretty sure inflation is going to be sticky.
Energy demand will probably grow, and natural gas demand stands to benefit significantly from that growth.
&nbsp;It appears very likely that commercial real estate values, especially office properties, are much closer to the end of their decline than the beginning.
I am very bullish on residential mortgages for many economic and technical reasons.
Private credit is projected to grow much quicker than any other fixed-income market segment. The yields are definitely higher than in any other segment of the fixed-income market. That bodes well for business development companies&#8217; long-term performance and dividend streams.
I am a huge fan of closed-end fund discount activism and arbitrage, and Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) arbitrage. Both are brilliant ways to earn above-average streams of income.
BB-rated bonds and community bank debt are two of the highest-yielding areas of the bond market.
I am very confident that these areas and the other markets we invest in through the Easy Income Portfolio will deliver high-income levels with a respectable total return over the long run.
I have no clue what they will do day to day.
That&#8217;s why I organized the portfolio so that there are asset classes that react differently to news and market movements.
If oil prices go up, royalty trusts and MLPs will go up.
&nbsp;Bond prices are likely to fall.
If the economy is strong, BDCs will fare well.
Mortgage-backed securities may lag due to rising rates in that environment.
If one zigs, I want to also own other assets that zag.
&nbsp;I want to own a collection of assets and securities, not individual companies. This gives me a high degree of additional diversification.
Almost all of our positions were up this month, but that will not always be the case.
&nbsp;As long as we focus on owning diversified pools of assets that behave differently from each other, even the bumps in the road will be subdued. The whole idea of the portfolio is to smooth out the ride, collect as much income as possible, and not worry about daily news and fluctuations.
I have no idea how 2025 will play out in the fixed-income, currency, and commodity markets. How high will traffic be, and which countries will be impacted? How will financial markets react to the tariffs? How will the economy respond to proposed immigration changes and possibly widespread government headcount reductions? How high will the dollar go against major foreign currencies, and what will that mean for the economy? Will the Fed cut rates in 2025? How many times? Will the administration&#8217;s energy policy be a plus or minus for oil and gas prices? Will office values finally finish bottoming out?
There is only one answer to all of these questions: I do not know. Neither does anyone else. Go back and look at all the highly confident predictions about both economics and markets from years past. Few, if any, come close to hitting the mark. The Easy Income Portfolio gives you the confidence to not worry about all that noise.
We do have a couple of housekeeping items this month:
Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp (TYG) is expected to close its merger this month. This is a significant corporate action involving Tortoise Capital Advisors, a specialized investment firm that focuses on energy sector investments. They&#8217;re making two major changes to streamline their fund offerings and enhance value for shareholders.
The first key change is a merger between two closed-end funds:
<ol start="1">
<li>Tortoise Midstream Energy Fund (Ticker: NTG) </li>
<li>Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Corp (Ticker: TYG)</li>
</ol>
TYG will be the surviving fund after the merger, creating a larger investment vehicle with approximately $1.1 billion in combined assets under management as of November 29, 2024. This larger size can benefit shareholders through improved economies of scale, which might lead to lower operating costs per share and enhanced market liquidity.
A crucial detail for current NTG shareholders is that their final distribution of $0.53 per share will be paid on December 13, 2024, to shareholders who owned the stock as of December 6, 2024.
For TYG shareholders (and future shareholders after the merger), there are two positive changes to the distribution policy:
<ol start="1">
<li>The frequency changes from quarterly to monthly distributions, which can benefit investors who rely on regular income streams by providing more frequent cash flows. </li>
<li>The distribution amount is increasing by 40% to $0.365 per share monthly. The first three payments are scheduled for:
<ul>
<li>December 31, 2024 (record date: December 24, 2024) </li>
<li>January 31, 2025 (record date: January 24, 2025) </li>
<li>February 28, 2025 (record date: February 21, 2025)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
The merger and these changes are scheduled to take effect before market opening on December 23, 2024, assuming all closing conditions are met. After this date, NTG will cease trading, and all positions will be consolidated into TYG.
That&#8217;s a huge increase in the expected level of income from this fund. Once the merger officially closes, we will own a small piece of almost every oil and gas infrastructure asset, such as pipelines and terminals, in North America. The yield on that collection of assets will be about 10%.

The purchases took place between Dec. 9 and Dec. 15, <a href="https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltb564490bc5201f31/bltde49d9b927f523d7/676023f4e462065ec33f0bfc/form-8-k_12-16-2024.pdf">according </a>to the company's SEC 8-K filing.
The latest acquisition aligns with MicroStrategy's aggressive Bitcoin-buying strategy, which has now pushed its total Bitcoin holdings to 439,000 BTC, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42413650/michael-saylor-urges-us-to-ditch-gold-for-bitcoin-sell-the-past-own-the-future">valued at over $45 billion</a>.
The company's co-founder and executive chairman, Michael Saylor, confirmed that the average purchase price for its entire Bitcoin reserve, including fees and expenses, stands at $61,725 per Bitcoin, representing a total investment of $27.1 billion. 
This makes MicroStrategy the holder of approximately 2.1% of Bitcoin's total supply of 21 million coins.
To fund the new purchases, MicroStrategy sold an additional 3.88 million shares during the same period, generating $1.5 billion.

The share sale is part of the company's broader plan to raise $42 billion through equity and fixed-income offerings, enabling further Bitcoin acquisitions. 
As of Dec. 15, MicroStrategy has $7.65 billion in shares still available for sale.
The recent purchase marks MicroStrategy's sixth consecutive week of Bitcoin accumulation. 
Just last week, the company acquired 21,550 BTC for approximately $2.1 billion, at an average price of $98,783 per coin. 
Over the past six weeks alone, MicroStrategy has added $17.5 billion worth of Bitcoin—roughly 39% of its total $45 billion position.
Meanwhile, in a significant milestone, MicroStrategy is set to join the Nasdaq 100 index on Dec. 23, a move expected to further <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42433049/microstrategy-nasdaq-100-inclusion-on-the-horizon-could-spell-59-upside-says-bernstein">boost its stock's market liquidity</a>.
MicroStrategy's aggressive accumulation strategy has helped its market cap climb to $92 billion, trading at a premium relative to the net asset value of its Bitcoin holdings.

In an era of global interconnectivity, The Perfect Stocks Portfolio has embraced a truly international approach to value investing, incorporating companies from diverse markets including the United States, China, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. This strategic global diversification follows the time-tested principles of Benjamin Graham, the founder of modern security analysis and father of value investing.
Investment Philosophy and Strategy
The portfolio&#8217;s foundation rests on Graham&#8217;s fundamental criteria for selecting stocks: profitable companies that pay dividends and maintain strong balance sheets. This global approach is particularly relevant today, as the United States currently represents 60-70% of global market cap—a level not seen since the 1970s, before a significant market correction.
While maintaining a focus on liquidity and ensuring all stocks can be traded in the United States, the portfolio seeks high-quality, dividend-paying, undervalued companies worldwide. This approach takes advantage of valuation distortions across different markets while recognizing the interconnected nature of global business.
Current Market Environment
The U.S. market maintains a strong uptrend, continuing its 20-month momentum with only brief interruptions. Despite rapid interest rate increases, the American consumer has demonstrated remarkable resilience, maintaining spending levels that keep pace with inflation. This strength is exemplified by recent impressive earnings from companies like Costco, which reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings growth.
The job market remains healthy, though showing signs of moderation. Wage pressure has been kept in check by productivity increases and legal immigration. However, inflation remains sticky around 3%, with recent Producer Price Index (PPI) data surprising to the upside.
Regional Market Updates
China has implemented a $1.4 trillion stimulus program—its most aggressive monetary policy since 2008-2009. While market expectations vary between 4-5% growth, the administration&#8217;s commitment to economic reinvigoration suggests potential for additional stimulus measures.
Japan's economy shows moderate recovery with consumer spending and capital investment growth. The Bank of Japan&#8217;s upcoming policy decisions are closely watched, with mixed expectations regarding potential rate hikes. The country recently approved a $250 billion stimulus package to support household spending and economic activity.
Europe markets face ongoing challenges, though the European Central Bank has implemented a 25-basis-point rate cut. While inflation control has improved, growth remains a concern. The United Kingdom continues to navigate political and economic challenges.
Portfolio Performance Highlights
Recent portfolio performance has been mixed, with notable movements including:
<ul>
<li>Hello Group (Ticker: MOMO) (Chinese internet company): Leading performer with 16% growth </li>
<li>Johnson Outdoors (Ticker: JOUT) Positive returns despite weak earnings </li>
<li>Union Industrial Holdings: Strong monthly performance </li>
<li>Shipping companies and semiconductor stocks: Temporary underperformance</li>
</ul>
Portfolio News
ROHM Semiconductor (Ticker: ROHCY) and Nanjing SemiDrive Technology Ltd. have jointly developed a smart cockpit reference design, integrating SemiDrive&#8217;s X9M and X9E automotive System-on-Chips (S with ROHM&#8217;s Power Management ICs (PMICs), Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) ICs, and LED driver ICs. This collaboration aims to enhance the functionality and efficiency of vehicle cockpits, supporting up to three display projections and four Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) cameras. Several automakers have adopted the reference design to advance smart cockpit applications.
The collaboration between ROHM Semiconductor and SemiDrive represents an important advancement in smart cockpit technology. To understand its significance, let&#8217;s first break down what a smart cockpit is and why this reference design matters.
A smart cockpit in modern vehicles is essentially the command center where all driver information, entertainment, and control systems come together. Think of it as the digital dashboard and control interface that helps drivers interact with their vehicle&#8217;s various systems.
The key innovation here lies in the integration of several sophisticated components:
The foundation is built on SemiDrive&#8217;s X9M and X9E automotive System-on-Chips. These are like the brains of the operation &#8211; imagine them as powerful computers condensed onto single chips, specifically designed for automotive use. They handle the complex processing needed for multiple displays and cameras.
A.P. Moller-Maersk (Ticker: AMKBY), a leading Danish shipping and logistics company, anticipates a 5% to 7% growth in global container volumes for 2025, driven by robust U.S. demand amid potential port strikes and tariffs on foreign goods.
&nbsp;This outlook contrasts with recent trends; in 2023, Maersk reported a 6% decline in loaded volumes during the second quarter compared to the same period in 2022, reflecting a broader industry downturn.
&nbsp;The company has also implemented significant cost-cutting measures, including plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 10,000 positions in response to challenging market conditions.
Johnson Outdoors Inc. (Ticker: JOUT), a global innovator in outdoor recreation equipment and technology, reported a challenging fiscal year ending September 27, 2024. The company faced an 11% decline in revenue, totaling $592.8 million, attributed to market challenges and competitive pressures across all segments. This downturn led to an operating loss of $43.5 million, a significant drop from the previous year&#8217;s operating profit of $11.7 million.
The fiscal fourth quarter saw net sales of $105.9 million, up $9.5 million from the same period last year. However, the quarter ended with an operating loss of $42.8 million, exacerbated by increased promotional pricing, a shift toward lower-margin products, and inventory reserves on slow-moving and obsolete stock.
Despite these challenges, Johnson Outdoors maintained a strong financial position, reporting $162.0 million in cash and investments as of September 27, 2024, with no debt. The company remains focused on consumer-driven innovation, enhancing go-to-market strategies, and improving operational efficiencies to achieve long-term profitable growth.
Africa Oil Corp. (Ticker: AOIHF) recently concluded a share buyback program and initiated a new one. Between December 2 and December 6, 2024, the company repurchased 815,000 shares, with 320,000 shares acquired on the TSX and 495,000 on Nasdaq Stockholm. The transactions were executed by Scotia Capital Inc. and Pareto Securities, respectively. All repurchased shares will be cancelled.
Under the share buyback program launched on December 4, 2023, which expired on December 5, 2024, Africa Oil repurchased a total of 23,987,632 common shares, falling short of the authorized maximum of 38,654,702 shares.
On December 6, 2024, the company initiated a new share buyback program, repurchasing 174,000 shares on its first day. This program allows for a maximum of 18,362,364 shares to be repurchased over 12 months, concluding on December 5, 2025. Both programs comply with the EU Market Abuse Regulation, Safe Harbour Regulation, and the relevant Canadian and Swedish securities laws.
Industry Diversification
The portfolio maintains broad sector exposure including:
<ul>
<li>Semiconductors and integrated circuits </li>
<li>Shipping and transportation </li>
<li>Outdoor recreation (camping, fishing, boating) </li>
<li>Social networks and e-commerce </li>
<li>Manufacturing (automotive, electronics, medical equipment) </li>
<li>Oil and gas exploration and production </li>
<li>Consumer Goods </li>
<li>Electronic components</li>
</ul>
Investment Outlook
While the portfolio may appear conservative, its strategy of focusing on undervalued, dividend-paying companies with strong balance sheets has historically outperformed the broader market. This approach, grounded in Graham&#8217;s time-tested principles, continues to offer a steady, conservative path to long-term market outperformance through global diversification and value investing principles.

<h3>About FedEx</h3>
FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2024, which ended in May, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 10% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment.

<h3>About Apple</h3>
Apple is among the largest companies in the world, with a broad portfolio of hardware and software products targeted at consumers and businesses. Apple's iPhone makes up a majority of the firm sales, and Apple's other products like Mac, iPad, and Watch are designed around the iPhone as the focal point of an expansive software ecosystem.

A Closer Look at Apple's Options Market Dynamics

Jeff Bezos is making headlines again, but this time it's not about Amazon or space travel – it's about his private jet collection. The billionaire recently upgraded his fleet with the Gulfstream G700, a cutting-edge $80 million jet that's being called the most advanced private jet on the market. And now, he's off-loading one of his older jets, a Gulfstream G650ER, for a cool $38,950,000.

<li>It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a></li>
</ul>
This isn't just any plane. Bezos' 2015 G650ER, registered as N271DV, has been kept in pristine condition, earning him a reputation for maintaining his aircraft to the highest standards. The jet, listed on the aviation marketplace Controller, is a more "affordable" option compared to a new G650ER, which sells for around $65 million. It's clear Bezos is offering a significant discount for anyone looking to fly in style.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Inside the Jet?</h2>
Aviation expert Preston Holland shared a closer <a href="https://x.com/prestonholland6/status/1859662093903159763">look</a> at the plane's interior and it's everything you'd expect from a billionaire's private jet – though perhaps more practical than flashy. At the front, there's a crew rest area for long-haul flights, followed by a galley designed for meal prep and storage. The main seating area features four chairs, one of which was likely Bezos' preferred spot for making big decisions.

While the jet is functional and well-designed, Holland pointed out that the carpet is a bit underwhelming. "I think it would be the first thing I would change," he quipped. Still, the plane can comfortably accommodate up to 14 passengers and offers meeting rooms, lavatories and plenty of space to stretch out on long flights.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Fleet Worth Over $200 Million</h2>
According to Business Insider, Bezos&#8217; collection of airplanes is valued at over $200 million. It consists of the Gulfstream G700, the newest model, a smaller Pilatus PC-24 and another G650ER. The G700 is a favorite among billionaires since it is opulent and among the quickest and most sophisticated private aircraft on the market.
Bezos reportedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40502922/jeff-bezos-expands-jet-collection-with-80m-gulfstream-g700-reveals-student-who-tracked-elon-musk-and">took delivery of the G700</a> in July and the jet has been busy since. In the first 39 days, JetSpy data shows it made 28 flights and emitted as much carbon dioxide as the average American does in 17 years. According to estimates, his entire fleet has logged about 850 flight hours in the first eight or so months of 2024, resulting in roughly $2.3 million in fuel costs and 3,600 tons of carbon emissions.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Sell Now?</h2>
It's unclear why Bezos is selling the G650ER, but this is the oldest aircraft in his collection. At almost 10 years old, it may perhaps be time for an upgrade. Or maybe Bezos no longer feels the need for two G650ERs now that he has the G700 in his arsenal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Criticism Over Carbon Emissions</h2>
Bezos and other celebrities have faced growing criticism for the environmental impact of private jets. Oxfam&#8217;s <a href="https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/billionaires-emit-more-carbon-pollution-90-minutes-average-person-does-lifetime">report</a> shows that two of Bezos' jets alone emitted as much carbon as an average Amazon employee would over 207 years. Despite this, private jets remain a hallmark of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/23/11/35986102/beyond-amazon-jeff-bezos-500m-superyacht-65m-jet-and-the-42m-timepiece-for-millennia-built-in-th">billionaire lifestyles</a>, with their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41277849/michael-jordan-buys-a-new-private-jet-that-is-also-owned-by-tech-billionaires-elon-musk-and-jeff-bez">convenience and luxury</a> often outweighing public backlash.
For anyone with $39 million burning a hole in their pocket, this Gulfstream G650ER could be the perfect opportunity to own a piece of aviation history – and fly like Jeff Bezos. Just don't forget to budget for fuel.
