Summary:
Lost another 13%. Mayhem continues. For the week I added to NRF, NRF-B and SNEN, funding some of that with sales of AHR and AHR-C. AHR is not nearly as well capitalized as NRF and could go under. I also bought some RICK and OCNF. Despite a tanking Baltic Dry Index, OCNF has much of its tankers locked in for this and next year. The dividend yield is over 100%, though I assume the probability it gets cut is high. I also shorted some FAF and sold NRF Jan 5 puts.
