But the yield is important not the coupon

When I look at buying a bond that has upside price potential, I always cons=der both the 1 year total return expectation as well as the yield to matur=ty. It helps me think about sizing if we are adding to an existing positio=.

Hi Jeffrey

We just got back tonight. I avoid putting on new pos=tions ahead of payrolls but this is what I recommend for Monday:=/u>

## 1. Fixed Income Idea -

We own $2MM of the Exela=10% 2023 bonds. I bought them in October 2017. Currently we are up $250K (=113K from price appreciation and the balance from interest). This is an Ap=llo sponsored technology services company (Apollo owns 20%). Currently the bonds are trading at $102.75 yielding 9.1=%. The JPM credit team this can trade up to $105 plus the 10% coupon givin= a —12% annual return. I think this is a partial replacement for the $3MM =indred bonds that were called this week. I would add $1-2MM.

2. Equity Idea from the team who gave the CD Projekt (=olish gaming stock) idea -

Buy InterActive Corp (IA=) on the back of continued success of Match.com <http://Match.com> and Tinder. St=ck trades at 19x 2019 estimates. Fits the mold of asset light platform com=any with 80%+ gross margins and a large digital moat. Stock at $155.50

=/u>

4,=804>Tinder creates around 12 million matches every single day and users s=end 90 minutes a day reviewing their match. Tinder users login, on average, 11times a day. Tinder's mo=etization on the platform is leading to accelerating growth. Tinder subscr=bers are willing to pay for Plus and Gold services if they increase the ch=nces to connect. And subscription growth remains impressive with 87% sub growth YoY in Q1leading to 37% ARPU growt= and 3.5M subscribers. Tinder is the second highest grossing app (non-gami=g) worldwide and across Match dating products there are products in 42 Ian=uages, 190 countries and 7M average subscribers."

3. I am still long the August 280 SPY call. It was als= a small $50K position. We paid $1.55 for the options. It closed yesterday=at $1.92. Time decay will start to hurt and I plan to unwind next week. I expect equity inflows to continue next week and will use any =arket strength to unwind (targeting $3.00).
