Are you sick and tired of just barely tailing behind the bigger guy? What if I told you there was a way to DECREASE your opponents advantage? What would you say to an extra couple billion dollars in clientele to manage? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO MOVE UP THE LIST IN RANKINGS?
There is a simple solution, you three hedge funds are just under the value of Citadel. As you are fully aware at this point, Citadel is slowly bleeding out on the short spear trap that blew up in their own faces.
You can take their place in the rankings.
You can take their crown and fortunes that follow.
You can take a massive payday as well...
You may be wondering at this point "what do we need to do?"
This part is easy, you know what is going to happen when Citadel folds, they have to cover their short positions.
All you three have to decide is, which of you will take their place? There is enough wealth under managment in any single one of you to force a marginal call at any point on Citadel under any one of your funds.
Take your crown, take your money, take your seat higher in the rankings of powerful hedge funds.
The DD is done. You know what to do, while you watch your competition fade into bankruptcy.
You deserve this. Why should they be ranked higher than you? After all, YOUR fund is not the one shorting with illegal naked shorts? You would be a saviour of the markets.
You have the power to absorb their power. Asked yourself, your staff, your clientele, do they want the biggest payday the market has ever seen?
This is not financial advice, just food for thought. Think about it, we will just be hodling like always.
Yours truly, the dumbest ape on reddit.
Now that I've got the crystal ball gazing out of the way, let's get into the financials.
I do not own shares in AQR, nor do I plan on buying until we enter the buy zone again.
" APN Convenience Retail REIT (AQR, formerly Convenience Retail REIT) is a listed Australian Real Estate Investment Trust that wholly owns a portfolio of 80 service station and convenience retail assets located across Australia with a skew towards the eastern seaboard. " - Commsec
AQR's major tenants are, Chevron, EG Group, Viva Energy Australia, and 7-Eleven. They do have a few BP Service stations, and a number of smaller chains. Their total value of their portfolio is $520m~. Occupancy is 100%, and average annual rent increase is 2.9% (All info is from their website which I will link at the end of the post)
AQR recently acquired 6 properties with a 20 year lease (OTR) in South Australia, with a fixed annual rent review of 2.75%, these 6 properties will make 5% of the funds annual income.
This is just one of many examples of the company constantly expanding their portfolio. AQR have been selling shares year on year, although in 2019 they bought $30k back, unsure of why? But I assume their unloading of shares is due to lack of funding from other areas, and the sale of shares goes towards expanding their portfolio.
$108m has been spent on investments, mostly being property. This is where I get the idea that they are unloading shares to purchase property. Despite large spending on new properties, revenue, net income, and profit margin has been increasing year on year, and debt to assets decreasing year on year.
TLDR: I don't really know what I'm talking about, this was just a practice post if you want to call it that. Like I said, I'll buy once price enters buy zone, or breaks downwards resistance. After reading about the REIT, doing some TA and FA I'm fairly comfortable this REIT will have a good future. Financials are seemingly improving year on year, and their portfolio seems to be expanding every few months.
I plan on posting more Analysis in the future, be kind in the comments
