So, what are we doing? We are long two very risky stocks that we think are dramatically undervalued by the market.

They are important companies to their customers, they earn significant revenues every day (brick and mortar firms with physical locations), and are working to make incremental improvements to their operations to increase earnings enough to reduce their debt leverage ratios and return to profitability (not just positive EBITDA).

They are bankruptcy risk stocks that should do very well if the USA avoids a recession and the economy grows instead.

These are also stocks that are actively looking to manage their outstanding debt and are working with their lenders accordingly.

We are confident that these two investments will pay off, and we have a third company on our shopping list.
