Congratulations if you followed us in buying Canada’s largest independent diamond miner DDC on Friday.  The company now has a $14.25 cash buyout offer and the company has agreed to be acquired.

This is the 125th buyout of our portfolio companies or where one of our portfolio companies benefited significantly from M&A.  This is unrivaled performance.

Services that specialize in buyouts and cost $50,000 to $100,000 do not hold a candle to our performance in buyouts. 

Our long-time subscribers have made a ton of money from buyouts.  A vast majority of the time, gains are much higher than is the case here in DDC.  However you have to keep in mind the risk taken.  Our objective is to achieve high risk adjusted returns, not just high returns sometimes and then incurring major losses because risk is not taken into account.

In the case of DDC, we hardly took any risk because going in we knew there was a $13.50 cash offer.  For this reason we knew the risk of loss was minimal. Our call was simply that there would be a higher offer. That call has know proven spot on.

There is still a possibility, although small, of another offer higher than this one.

What To Do Now

Those with medium and large accounts may consider continuing to hold.

Those with small accounts may consider cashing in right here as the capital can be better deployed elsewhere.
