WDC stock: Stock plunged on March 4, 2021

 

After market close

WDC  rebound 4%

PSTG  loss 2% - price is lower 

GTE stock: March 4, 2021 portfolio

March 4, 2021

It is important to try to save my own capital, and keep learning. I placed purchase order 4000 shares this morning, but it was not executed. I saw the price was lower than mine. I decided to cancel the order. 

I also watched GTE stock went down 10%, but I did not have experience to place order at lowest price and catch rebound quickly. 

I should start to place an order when the price goes down 6%, estimate that the price will drop 10%, and let my order go through the lowest price. It should be less than 10% drop in the price range. 

WPG stock: Mall Owner Washington Prime Is Said to Prepare Bankruptcy Filing

 March 4, 2021

Introduction

It is learning opportunity for me to watch WPG stock, and see if there is chance for WPG stock to avoid bankruptcy. 

Bankruptcy

Debt is a serious issue. I like to learn from reading the following content for the article. 

Here is the article. 

(Bloomberg) -- Mall owner Washington Prime Group is preparing a potential bankruptcy filing as time runs out to avert a default after it skipped an interest payment on its debt, according to people with knowledge of the plans.

The real estate investment trust, which owns about 100 malls throughout the U.S., said last month that it would use a 30-day grace period to continue negotiations with its lenders. Yet those talks are faltering, said the people, who asked not to be named discussing confidential preparations.

The plan to file for Chapter 11 protection isn’t final and could change if negotiations evolve or the company’s grace period is extended, the people added. A representative for Washington Prime declined to comment.

Shares of Washington Prime sunk as much as 63% to $2.34 after Bloomberg reported the potential filing, triggering multiple trading halts.

Short interest in the stock grew in late 2020, exceeding 30% of the outstanding shares as recently as October, according to Bloomberg data. The shares continued to trade as high as $7.49 even after the skipped debt payment. Day traders and Reddit investors began flocking to certain heavily shorted names in hopes of profiting when short sellers covered their bets.

Pandemic Impact

Here are highlights:

1. Idea: convert about $260 million worth of its unsecured bonds into $175 million of preferred equity issued by a new special purpose entity
2. Fact: failed to reach an agreement with debt holders with idea in item 1. 
3. Fact: Two of Washington Prime’s competitors, CBL & Associates Properties and Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, filed for bankruptcy within hours of each other last year.
4. Short over 30%, last October short squeeze -> stock went higher than $7.49 <- skipped debt payment. 

Columbus, Ohio-based Washington Prime has said the impact from the Covid-19 pandemic could affect its ability to comply with debt covenants and continue operations, or remain a going concern “under certain circumstances.” It said in November that it was “actively negotiating” with debt holders to cut borrowings.

At that time, Chief Executive Officer Lou Conforti emphasized that bankruptcy was not on the table.

“It’s important to note that this action, and I would like everybody listen up, in no way shape or form has anything to do with a bankruptcy or a corporate restructuring and if anything, will serve as a testament to our operational abilities,” Conforti said in a conference call with investors.

Washington Prime has been working with advisers from law firm Kirkland & Ellis and investment bank Guggenheim to help it handle its maturities, which include a first-lien term loan due in June. In December, it attempted to convert about $260 million worth of its unsecured bonds into $175 million of preferred equity issued by a new special purpose entity, but failed to reach an agreement with debt holders.

Representatives for Kirkland & Ellis and Guggenheim didn’t comment.

The company said its rent collection rate dropped to 52% during the second quarter of 2020, dragging down the price of its junior debt to about two-thirds of face value and its shares to penny-stock status. In the third quarter, collections improved to around 87%.

The pandemic has left mall owners struggling to keep up with debt payments as mandated store closures kept shoppers away and tenants sought rent deferrals. Two of Washington Prime’s competitors, CBL & Associates Properties and Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, filed for bankruptcy within hours of each other last year.

Washington Prime’s tenants also include retailers like J.C. Penney Co. and former Ann Taylor parent Ascena Retail Group Inc., which sought court protection and shuttered stores last year, citing pain from the pandemic.

GTE stock: analysis - need to look into debt issues

March 4, 2021

Here is the article. 

Here are highlights:

1. Colombian properties - 95% of revenue
2. price-to-book ratio of 1.44, market capitalization of $436 million
3. Debt is very high at GTE - debt-to-equity ratio of 2.58
4. depressed performance metrics with an operating margin of (22.17)% and a return on equity of (107.41)%
5. If need cash, then it can be sold to strategic buyers to raise cash
6. 
   

Gran Tierra Energy (TSX:GTE)(NYSE:GTE) is a company focused on oil and gas exploration and production in Colombia and Ecuador. The company’s Colombian properties represents 95% of revenue. Gran Tierra Energy was incorporated in the state of Nevada.

Attractive valuation

The company has a price-to-book ratio of 1.44 and market capitalization of $436 million. Debt is very high at GTE, as evidenced by a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.58. The company has depressed performance metrics with an operating margin of (22.17)% and a return on equity of (107.41)%. Despite the high debt, GTE has several hidden assets on the balance sheet that are valuable and could be sold to strategic buyers if the company had to raise cash.

Future outlook

Colombia is GTE’s primary focus and represents 96% of the company’s 2021 capital program with the remainder allocated to exploration activities in Ecuador. About 80% of the company’s capital budget is expected to be allocated to development activities and 20% to exploration. Approximately 20% of the company’s development activities included in the 2021 capital program is expected to be directed to facilities. GTE expects the 2021 capital program to be fully funded by cash flows from operations.

Powerful business strategy

GTE’s strategy is to profitably grow the company’s portfolio of exploration, development, and production opportunities in Colombia and Ecuador in a sustainable manner. The company is taking steps to grow cash flows from existing assets by developing reserves and growing reserves through enhanced oil recovery techniques. GTE has consolidated sufficient exploration opportunities to commence a three- to five-year exploration program, which it expects to fund through the reinvestment of cash flows from operations.

Intelligent acquisitions

GTE has operator interests in 29 blocks in Colombia and three blocks in Ecuador. In 2019, the company paid $79 million to acquire operatorship in the Suroriente Block. This was a great acquisition, as it increased the company’s ownership in Suroriente Block from 16% to 52% and gave GTE more operational leverage.

The company also signed participation contracts for several blocks located in the Oriente Basin in Ecuador and secured 100% operatorship for these blocks. Further, GTE expects to commence on an exploration drilling program in Ecuador during 2021. The company was awarded four exploration blocks via successful bid rounds in Colombia.

Effective marketing

In 2019, GTE’s Putumayo production was sold to Ecopetrol. As per the transaction agreement, the company agreed to deliver oil to Ecopetrol through GTE’s transportation facilities, which include pipelines and gathering systems, and through the transportation and logistics assets of a wholly owned subsidiary of Ecopetrol.

The company has also entered ship-and-pay transportation agreements with several other parties. GTE pays a transportation tariff and transportation tax for the transportation of oil and has the right to transport up to 10,000 barrels of oil per day, subject to availability of capacity.

GTE has cleverly structured marketing agreements to ensure that the counterparty is liable for pollution clean-up costs resulting from incidents during transportation. The cost of oil lost during transportation is shared by the parties that ship oil on the pipeline in proportion to the share of total volumes shipped.

GTE stock: Gran Tierra and the business of oil in Colombia - Part 1

 March 3, 2021

Here is the link. 

Yahoo -> Finance -> Conversation

According GTE SEC form 4 filed today, management bought over $1.9 million in shares this week in the $0.80s. Clearly more major news from the company is about to drop. I just purchased another 5,000 shares in premarket in anticipation of a major rally coming sooner than folks think.

MAJOR CATALYSTS FOR SURGE IN GTE STOCK PRICE:

1. Insiders buying huge amounts of shares this week
2. OPEC to roll over March cuts to April
3. Americans adult to get vaccinated by May, two months earlier than projected.
3. J&J vaccine, a single dose game changer, getting approvals all over the world
4. Big banks confident in the fact that Oil’s super cycle has begun
5. GTE most likely to pay off their entire RBL this year.
6. GTE production to be around ~30k by mid-May.
7. Analysts have increased their price their for GTE to over $4 per share.
8. The bank now expects Brent crude oil to average $60 per barrel in 2021, up from a previous estimate of $50. Price range could go as high as $80 according to some analysts!

Another comment: 

Gran Tierra stock price has rallied 158% since January and has further to rally given a bullish outlook for crude oil. The outlook has become particularly bullish because of growing inventory draws, an anticipated strong economic recovery, stimulus and rollout of COVID vaccines, and an expected increase in demand growth as the weather gets warmer and folks begin to travel more.

Analysts are projecting GTE price target of over $4 per share. The majority of GTE oilfields had been brought back on-line. Company has very strong reserves! Southwest wells be in full production by mid-march with the rest in production by mid-May! As a result, GTE expects to pump on average 28,000 to 30,000 barrels daily during 2021, which is a significant increase over 2020. According to CEO Rob Will, "GTE is doing better than budgeted...looking to drill additional well and uses excess cash to bring down debt." Most of GTE's debt profile is due in two tranches in 2025 and 2027.

One more comment:

According GTE SEC form 4 filed today, management bought over $1.9 million in shares this week in the $0.80s with CEO Gary S. Guidry purchasing 688,000 shares. Clearly there is more major news from the company that is going to lead to a bigger rally in the stock price.

System design: Two hours reading every day

 March 3, 2021

Introduction

I do think that reading is best way for me to learn how to do a good system design without hands-on experience. Large scale system, real time application, and advanced concepts in large distributed system. I should invest time to learn more about system design, two hours a day, I like to read various articles about those topics. 

Two hours reading every day

I still plan to practice more Amazon online assessment. I also like to learn more about system design. It is challenge for me to do that. I do not build good habit to read a lot of technical articles every day.

WebSocket | System design | How to Use Websockets in Golang: Best Tools and Step-by-Step Guide

March 3, 2021

Here is the article. 

Sending a message and getting an instant response without refreshing the page is something we take for granted. But in the past, enabling real-time functionality was a real challenge for developers. The developer community has come a long way from HTTP long polling and AJAX and has finally found a solution for building truly real-time apps. 

This solution comes in the form of WebSockets, which make it possible to open an interactive session between a user’s browser and a server. WebSockets allow a browser to send messages to a server and receive event-driven responses without having to poll the server for a reply.

For now, WebSockets are the number one solution for building real-time applications: online games, instant messengers, tracking apps, and so on. This guide explains how WebSockets operate and shows how we can build WebSocket applications in the Go programming language. We also compare the most popular WebSocket libraries so you can choose the best one for your needs.

WebSocket system design: Learn How to Build a Chat-Based Application with WebRTC & Websockets – Part I

March 3, 2021

Introduction

I am a 55 year old software programmer with 11 year full time job experience. But I also need to learn better about WebSocket, how to use WebSocket to design a chat application. I learned the lesson from my real onsite interview experience in 2021. I need to take time to read more articles about Websockets. 

a Chat-Based application

Here is the article. 

How Can Your Application Achieve Real Time Communication between Browsers?

WebRTC gives the web browser the capability to connect users to share video, audio and data content directly, this is known as peer-to-peer communication; this is fantastic but in real world applications, we should do a couple of extra things to have the whole flow fully operational.

It’s like if we want to send a letter, we are free to send it to anybody but in addition to the receiver name, we must know its location to be able to deliver the message (among other things). The same occurs with WebRTC, it opens a window to share media content with other peers, but before that we need to exchange some initial information with the counterpart following a specific process.

In the WebRTC ecosystem the process to exchange information with other peers to establish communication is known as “Signaling” and we can list some common actions to describe that process:

• Login: A user accesses and identifies himself in the web application
• Call: A user wants to establish communication with another user
• Answer: A user answers another user’s call
• Hangout: A user desires to finish the communication

What Do You Need to Implement Signaling in Your Application?

The Signaling process is out of the scope of WebRTC (at least at the beginning), so we need a complementary tool to be in charge of it, here is where Websockets come to the rescue.

There are other options to manage the signaling process, but implementing a WebSocket server is one of the approaches that offer more advantages:

• Support across all browsers
• It’s an old acquaintance for web developers
• Easy to implement
• The client/server communication is reliable
• Additional business logic can be added before establishing the communication
• Can be an option to implementing a fallback strategy
