“As noted in our Year End 2020 Investment Review (published on 2/1/21), we exited our position in AMC at around $14 during the last week of January. That price exceeded our then $10 estimate of fair value, as the stock went parabolic with the Gamestonk/Reddit/WallStreetBets frenzy that captivated the media, market and general population in January. As longterm shareholders, we were pleased that AMC’s CEO, Adam Aron, did not take the easy way out during AMC’s darkest days when the vast majority of the investment community were writing the company’s obituary. He showed loyalty to shareholders despite being in the zone of insolvency (where fiduciary duty to shareholders extends to creditors as well).”
