Seem that Tshuva is Going for a Haircut

It seems that Tshuva is going for a haircut or at leas postponement of debt payment, as has been published in the Israeli financial media. My previous point of view has been proven wrong and I am really sad for this, because the guy put in a lot of his money into the business and also sold and sold properties to try to return the debt. Oh well. I hope we both learned from the experience. P.D: my position on all Delek Nadlan securities was sold about two months ago because the future became uglier. P.D.2: this is my private … Continue reading

My First Investing Post

One of the things that I do in my spare time (competing with caring for 3 children, loving my wife, programming, reading and knitting) is stock analysis for investment purposes.
