Carlson Trims Forestar Group Position

First, Carlson has submitted a 13D filing on Forestar Group (FOR) which indicates they now own 7.55% of FOR with 2.54 million shares.  This is down 323,800 shares from the 2.86 million shares they owned at the end of the third quarter. 

The filing shows they were selling at various dates in November, and as recently as November 21st at prices ranging from $11.60 to $12.8064.

Also Trims Archrock Stake

Second, Carlson Capital also submitted an SEC filing regarding their stake in Archrock (AROC).  Per the filing,  Carlson owned 12.17% of the company with 8.47 million shares as of November 18th. 

However, Carlson has continued selling per a separately filed Form 4 with the SEC.

Some of their recent activity includes selling 453,433 shares in total on November 22nd, 23rd, and 25th at prices around $13.4951 to $13.7899.  At latest tally, Carlson owned 7.79 million AROC shares.

Carlson Capital Ups Vitamin Shoppe Position

Clint Carlson's hedge fund firm Carlson Capital has filed an amended 13D with the SEC regarding its position in Vitamin Shoppe (VSI).  Per the filing, Carlson now owns 6.94% of the company with over 2 million shares.

This is an increase from the 1.86 million shares they owned at the end of the second quarter.  The filing shows they were out buying in late July, sporadically throughout August and September, and most recently on the first two days in October at $31.70-$32.48.

Their 13D also notes they intend to continue to have discussions with management and the board about reducing the company's expenses, altering the company's capital allocation and buyback policies and the composition of the board.

Per Google Finance, Vitamin Shoppe is "a multi-channel specialty retailer and contract manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, herbs, specialty supplements, sports nutrition and other health and wellness products (VMS). The Company operates through three segments: retail, which includes Vitamin Shoppe, Super Supplements and Vitapath retail store formats; direct, which consists of its e-commerce and catalog formats, and manufacturing, which consists of the Nutri-Force manufacturing operations. The Company operates through its wholly owned subsidiary, Vitamin Shoppe Industries Inc. and Vitamin Shoppe Industries Inc.s' wholly owned subsidiaries, VS Direct Inc., Vitamin Shoppe Mariner, Inc. (VSM), VS Hercules LLC (VSH), Vitamin Shoppe Global, Inc. (VSG) and Vitapath Canada Limited (VCL)."

Carlson Capital Goes Activist on Vitamin Shoppe

Clint Carlson's hedge fund firm Carlson Capital has filed a 13D on their position in Vitamin Shoppe (VSI).  Per the filing, Carlson now owns 5.34% of the company with 1.58 million shares.

Their equity exposure to the name has more than doubled since the end of 2014.  The filing details they've been sporadically buying throughout late March and as late as April 20th.

The Company sells its products through two segments: retail and direct. In the Company's direct segment, the Company sells its products directly to consumers through the internet."

Carlson Capital Files 13D on Boise, Argues Company Worth More Than Recent Buyout Offer

Clint Carlson's hedge fund firm Carlson Capital has filed a 13D on shares of Boise (BZ).  Per the filing, Carlson has revealed a 6.7% ownership stake in BZ with 6,725,000 shares. 

This marks an increase of 449% in their position size since the end of the second quarter. as they've drastically ramped up their stake.  The 13D was required due to activity on September 16th.  While Carlson previously owned BZ shares and were out buying throughout the first half of August, they really ramped up their stake on September 16th & 17th, purchasing shares around $12.5x.


Carlson Argues For Higher Price

On September 16th, Packaging Corp of America (PKG) entered into an agreement for a tender offer to acquire all of Boise at $12.55 per share.

On September 23rd, Carlson sent a letter to the board of Boise arguing that the company is worth between $14 and $17 and that the current offer does not reflect fair value.

Further, the hedge fund argues that a separation of the company's paper and packaging segments would better help the company participate in industry consolidation.  You can view Carlson's full case for the company here.

Per Google Finance, Boise is "a manufacturer of packaging and paper products, including corrugated containers and sheets, containerboard, protective packaging products, imaging papers for the office and home, printing and converting papers, label and release papers, newsprint and market pulp. The Company operates in the United States, Europe, Mexico, and Canada. The Company operates in three segments: Packaging, Paper, and Corporate and Other. The Company’s newsprint is sold primarily to newspaper publishers in the southern and southwestern the United States."

Clint Carlson Says Avoid 10 Year Treasuries, Take a Chance With PostNL

We're posting up notes from the Great Investors' Best Ideas Investment Symposium in Dallas and next up is Clint Carlson of Carlson Capital.  He focuses on multi-strat in order to reduce volatility and said that "what you don't own is just as important as what you do."  Here are his two picks:


Carlson Says Avoid 10 Year Treasuries

His first play was to not own 10 year government bonds in any currency.  We've highlighted how Lee Cooperman strongly dislikes treasuries at this juncture and Carlson echoed those sentiments.  He said that many people are overlooking the fact that rates could jump higher.  While the Fed Funds rate will remain low, the 10 year doesn't necessarily follow that.  Carlson also does not believe we go the way of Japan.

He says that treasuries are not a good risk/reward and event co-founder Shad Rowe quoted Jim Grant, saying that these bonds offer return-free risk.  Carlson, however, said that you can't short treasuries now because the Fed can buy longer than you can remain solvent.  He dislikes corporate bonds as well and says to keep that exposure to a minimum for diversification.


Carlson's 2nd Pick: PostNL

His second idea was probably the most 'true hedgie' play at the conference.  What we mean by that is that it's a cheap option on risk arbitrage but also a fundamental investment.  His pick was PostNL (AMS:PNL or PNYLL via ADR).  The Dutch delivery company represents the "perfect storm" he says.

PostNL owns almost a 30% stake in TNT Express, which is set to be taken over by UPS (pending deal closure).  Carlson argues there's a range of outcomes which is why it's compelling.

Scenario 1: The deal does not close and downside is 20%.
Scenario 2: The deal does not close but significant upside remains if the market values PNL's TNT Express stake
Scenario 3: The deal closes, PNL gets 1.5bn and the stock doubles

Carlson thinks the deal closes, but points out this is a risky bet.

On the fundamental side of the investment, he points out how operating margins have tanked from 14% down to 7% and they're modeling an improvement up to 8-9%.  He points out how mail volumes in the Netherlands have dropped 10% per year and so that's a risk.  Carlson thinks that it's close to the trough, but that Europe doesn't improve for 4-5 years.

In order to compete, the company either has to raise prices otherwise they'll shut down.  He thinks it's also a potential leveraged buyout (LBO) candidate and that "this will be a volatile trade."  Right now there's a big percentage of owners that are event-driven or risk arbitrage funds.  If the deal falls through, there will be an ownership shift.

Carlson is focused on the end-game here and sees this as a 6 month - 1 year holding.  He says you could buy 1/2 a position now and buy another 1/2 to "double down" if the chance presents itself at lower levels.  We also took notice that Lee Cooperman (also on the panel) was taking notes on this pitch.


For the rest of the presentations, head to notes from the Great Investors' Best Ideas conference.

Carlson Capital Goes Activist on Ruby Tuesday (RT)

Clint Carlson's hedge fund firm Carlson Capital filed a 13D with the SEC signifying their activist investment in Ruby Tuesday (RT). Due to trading on June 7th, 2011, Carlson has disclosed a 5% ownership stake in RT with 3,250,000 shares.

This marks over a 10,800% increase in their position size (they only owned 29,800 shares at the end of the first quarter). Carlson's stake in total was purchased with $33.6 million.

Activist Investment

The 13D filing was made in conjunction with Becker Drapkin Management and for activist purposes the two have filed as a "group." Collectively, the group owns 4,143,900 shares of Ruby Tuesday (including 200,000 shares of underlying call options exercisable until October 22nd, 2011). In total, this represents 6.4% of outstanding shares.

While they originally purchased shares because they believed they were undervalued, the "purpose of transaction" section of the regulatory filing outlines that Becker Drapkin is seeking to nominate directors at the company's annual meeting.

Connection With Becker Drapkin Again

The interesting thing here is that this is not the first time that Carlson Capital and Becker Drapkin have filed together. In the past, we covered when the two managers got involved with Hot Topic (HOTT).

That situation seemed to work out well, as shares of HOTT are up over 31% since then and Carlson still held its entire position as of the end of the first quarter. We'll have to see if these two firms can work their magic again.

Per Google Finance, Ruby Tuesday "including its wholly owned subsidiaries (RTI) owns and operates Ruby Tuesday casual dining restaurants."

Hedge Fund Carlson Capital Exits Portec Rail Products (PRPX)

Last week, we revealed that hedge fund Carlson Capital had filed an activist 13D on shares of Portec Rail Products (PRPX). In it, they disclosed a 5.2% ownership stake in a company that was subject to a tender offer. Due to an amended 13D filed with the SEC after market close yesterday, Carlson has completely exited its position in PRPX. And although we don't know for sure, the likely reason could be below:

According to Reuters, "As of the subsequent offering period's expiration time, approximately 8,662,078 shares had been tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the tender offer, which represented approximately 90.20% of the outstanding shares. L.B. Foster and Foster Thomas Company accepted for payment all shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, and paid for these shares in accordance with the tender offer's terms. L.B. Foster intends to effect a short form merger of Foster Thomas Company with and into Portec, with Portec being the surviving corporation, as soon as practicable. As a result of the merger, Portec will become a wholly owned subsidiary of L.B. Foster."

If you're slightly confused as to the tender offer timeline and Carlson's involvement, head to our previous post on PRPX. But as of December 21st, the hedge fund no longer owns shares.

Taken from Google Finance, Portec "manufactures, supplies and distributes a range of rail products, including rail joints, rail anchors, rail spikes, railway friction management products and systems, railway wayside data collection and data management systems, and freight car securement systems."

Hedge Fund Carlson Capital Goes Activist on Portec Rail Products (PRPX)

Hedge fund Carlson Capital has gone activist on Portec Rail Products (PRPX) via a 13D just filed with the SEC. Carlson has disclosed a 5.2% ownership stake in PRPX with 503,674 shares. This is not a new position for the hedge fund as they previously owned 403,949 shares as of the end of the third quarter. As such, Carlson has recently purchased 99,725 additional shares of Portec Rail Products. In recent months, Carlson has also gone activist on Phoenix Technologies (PTEC) amidst takeover bids as well.

Today is 'merger arbitrage day' on the site and so we're taking a look at three separate arbitrage trades that prominent hedge funds have put on. As detailed in Carlson's 13D filing, here's a timetable of events that have taken place regarding PRPX shares:

- February 16th, 2010: L.B. Foster (FSTR) commenced a tender offer to purchase all PRPX shares at a price of $11.80 per share with the offer expiring on December 15th.

- August 24th, 2010: Sentinel Capital Partners expressed interest in acquiring all of PRPX shares at a price of $11.75.

- December 7th, 2010: Sentinel again expresses interest in acquiring all shares, but this time with an increased offer of $13.00 per share.

- December 15th, 2010: Per a PR release, "The tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Portec expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 15, 2010. As of that time, the depositary for the offer advised that approximately 7.63 million shares, representing approximately 79.46% of Portec's outstanding shares, were validly tendered and not withdrawn in the offer."

And late yesterday afternoon, Carlson Capital filed its 13D on PRPX and acquired the shares "pursuant to investment strategies, including merger arbitrage and event driven strategies, because they believed that Shares reported herein, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity."

Will Carlson Capital's new activist push shake things up? While Portec Rail Products received offers at $11.80 and then $13.00, shares currently trade around $11.90. It remains to be seen as to whether or not Carlson will push for the higher $13 per share offer so we'll watch this one as it develops. In the mean time, you can also check in on Carlson's other activist investments including Hot Topic (HOTT) as well as Phoenix Technologies (PTEC).

Per Google Finance, Portec Rail Products "manufactures, supplies and distributes a range of rail products, including rail joints, rail anchors, rail spikes, railway friction management products and systems, railway wayside data collection and data management systems, and freight car securement systems."

Carlson Capital Goes Activist on Phoenix Technologies (PTEC) Amidst Takeover Bids

Hedge fund Carlson Capital has filed a 13D with the SEC regarding shares of Phoenix Technologies (PTEC). Due to portfolio activity on October 21st, Carlson disclosed 5.3% ownership stake in PTEC with 2,153,800 shares and paid $8,861,372 for the stake. This is a brand new position for Carlson as they previously did not own any shares. In terms of other recent portfolio activity out of the hedge fund, they recently sold Cano Petroleum shares (CFW).

The activist 13D on PTEC is intriguing due to the multiple bidders pursuing an acquisition of Phoenix Technologies. Per the SEC filing, "On August 17, 2010, the Issuer issued a press release announcing entry into a definitive merger agreement with affiliates of Marlin Equity Partners (“Marlin”) pursuant to which Marlin will acquire all outstanding shares of the Issuer's stock for $3.85 per share in cash. In addition, on October 28, 2010, affiliates of Gores Capital Partners III, L.P. (“Gores”) submitted a definitive offer and proposal to acquire all of the securities of the Issuer for cash consideration of $4.05 per share."

And just yesterday, Phoenix received another definitive offer from Goes Group to acquire all shares outstanding at $4.20 per share. So it will be interesting to see if Carlson has already achieved their end-game with a higher bid, or if they have other plans here.

Taken from Google Finance, Phoenix Technologies "designs, develops and supports core system software, operating system software and application software for personal computers and other computing devices."

Carlson Capital Sells Cano Petroleum (CFW) Shares

Dallas based hedge fund Carlson Capital filed an amended 13D and a Form 4 with the SEC regarding shares of Cano Petroleum (CFW). Per the filings, we see that the hedge fund sold 800,000 shares of CFW on October 18th at a price of $0.4575. After the transaction, Carlson Capital is left holding 4,805,818 Cano Petroelum shares and this marks a 14% reduction in their position size.

According to the 13D filing, this now translates into a 10.6% ownership stake in the company. Carlson originally filed a 13D back in August of 2008. Carlson recently sold the majority of shares in their Black Diamond Relative Value Offshore fund and their Double Black Diamond Offshore fund. Carlson Capital is the largest shareholder in Cano Petroleum, followed by Sage Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and Soros Fund Management.

In terms of other portfolio activity from Carlson, we've detailed their activist position in Hot Topic (HOTT) as well.

Taken from Google Finance, Cano Petroleum is "an independent oil and natural gas company. The Company’s assets are located onshore United States in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. As of September 22, 2010, Cano had 18 wells containing multiple completions."

Hedge Fund Carlson Capital Files Amended 13D on Hot Topic (HOTT)

Dallas based hedge fund Carlson Capital just filed an amended 13D with the SEC regarding their activist position in shares of Hot Topic (HOTT). As we previously covered, Carlson owns a 3.96% stake in HOTT and that figure remains unchanged. The reasons for the amendment are as follows:

- Removal of "group" filing status: Previously, Carlson had joined up with Becker Drapkin Management, filing as a group for the purpose of this activist investment. Their collective stake in Hot Topic totaled 9.042% of the company. They are no longer adjoined as a group.

- Addition of both Stephen R. Becker and Matthew A. Drapkin to Hot Topic's board: The exhibits attached to the amended 13D filing propose adding the two gentlemen to Hot Topic's board. Neither work for Carlson and they are both proprietors of Carlson's former "group" member, Becker Drapkin Management.

- Standstill period: As of September 19th, 2010, members of either Becker Drapkin or Carlson will *not* acquire any securities of the company, will not submit any shareholder proposals, will not solicit proxies, and will not seek acquisitions regarding the company.

Given the legal nature of these document, there's plenty of fine print that you can read here. The 13D filing is accompanied by two exhibits. In the end, the main thing to take away from all of this is that Carlson has not adjusted their position, has abandoned "group" status for filing purposes, and seeks to put two individuals from Becker Drapkin on Hot Topic's board. We'll continue to watch this activist investing situation unfold. View our original coverage of Carlson's activist position here.

Taken from Google Finance, Hot Topic is "mall and Web-based specialty retailer operating the Hot Topic and Torrid concepts, as well as the e-space music concept, ShockHound. It sells a selection of music/pop culture-licensed and music/pop culture-influenced apparel, accessories, music and gift items for young men and women principally between the ages of 12 and 22."

Carlson Capital Starts New Activist Position in Hot Topic (HOTT)

Clint Carlson's hedge fund firm Carlson Capital just filed a 13D with the SEC regarding shares of Hot Topic (HOTT). Due to portfolio activity on August 23rd, 2010, Carlson has disclosed a 3.96% ownership stake in HOTT with 1,764,800 shares. This is a brand new position as they did not show ownership back on June 30th in their last portfolio disclosure.

This stake cost them $8,858,729 as the hedge fund purchased shares in the $4.80 to $5.45 range. Their filing becomes interesting when you read in the fine print that Carlson has entered into a "group" agreement with Becker Drapkin Management for the purpose of this investment. Collectively between both parties, they own 9.042% of Hot Topic, or 4,030,749 shares. Both Carlson and Becker Drapkin operate in Dallas, Texas.

Carlson has filed a 13D signifying activist intent in their investment. The filing states that the hedge fund believes the company is undervalued and plans to engage with HOTT regarding "the assets, business, strategy, capitalization, financial condition and/or operations." Carlson manages six hedge funds with over $4 billion in assets under management (AUM). They primarily pursue risk arbitrage, relative value arbitrage (long/short equity pairs), and credit arbitrage. This is the first time the firm has appeared on Market Folly and we'll continue to cover their movements in the future.

Taken from Google Finance, Hot Topic is "is a mall and Web-based specialty retailer operating the Hot Topic and Torrid concepts, as well as the e-space music concept, ShockHound. It sells a selection of music/pop culture-licensed and music/pop culture-influenced apparel, accessories, music and gift items for young men and women principally between the ages of 12 and 22. At Torrid, the Company sells apparel, lingerie, shoes and accessories for plus-size females principally between the ages of 15 and 29."

Hedge Fund Panel: Case For Global Equities In 2010 (Ainslie, Mignone, Robbins, & More)

We're continuing coverage of the recent hedge fund panels that took place at the Morgan Stanley Breakers Conference on January 25th & 26th, 2010. Earlier today, there was an introductory post that outlined key takeaways from the event. Next, let's look at the separate hedge fund manager panels and start with the long/short equity hedge fund panel featuring Bridger Management's Roberto Mignone, Carlson Capital's Clint Carlson, Glenview Capital's Larry Robbins, GLG Partners' Pierre Lagrange, and Maverick Capital's Lee Ainslie.

The Case for Global Equities in 2010: What Should Investors Expect?


- Lee Ainslie (Maverick Capital): Ainslie focused on how in 2008 and 2009, there was little differentiation between stocks as 90% of them were down in 2008 and 90% of them were up big in 2009. He notes that risk premiums are now back up to 2007 levels and that fundamentals aren't really responsible for the massive price gains and that needs to change. His best idea going forward is large cap technology companies.

This sentiment falls directly in-line with when we looked at Maverick's portfolio and saw they were betting big on technology stocks. Ainslie's hedge fund is one of the many funds that comprises the Tiger Cub Portfolio created with Alphaclone where you can replicate the positions and enjoy 15.5% annualized returns since 2000. To learn more about Maverick, check out our profile/biography on Lee Ainslie & Maverick.


- Roberto Mignone (Bridger Management): Mignone's best stock idea for 2010 was healthcare across the board as he says there is a huge margin of safety. He said you don't even need individual names, just an ETF. We of course will examine his holdings when the new 13F's are released soon in order to single out some names. Mignone also noted that there are a ton of mega cap multinational companies trading at low valuations. Many of them have massive cash flows and offer an attractive risk adjusted return. This is not the first hedge fund manager we've seen talk about this. Bill Ackman recently started a large Kraft (KFT) position and is one of the many examples.

Bridger Management now runs $2.4 billion and is closed to new investors, except for replacing redemptions. They don't want to increase their size as it then becomes nearly impossible to have the necessary short portfolio. Not to mention, Mignone likes to focus on investing rather than running a big organization. They have nine analysts (including Mignone) and have always had a large focus on healthcare. We recently covered Bridger's new position and previously looked at their portfolio as well.

Mignone is known for his sleuthing skills in identifying short positions. However, this worked against him in 2009 due to the massive rally. At the same time, he noted that shorting has changed due to an increase in news flow and transparency, and a shrinkage in the pool of capital to short.


- Larry Robbins (Glenview Capital): Like Mignone & Bridger, Robbins' Glenview has large healthcare exposure. His best idea was Express Scripts (ESRX). He notes that contrary to popular belief, this company won't be affected by healthcare reform. He thinks that ESRX will benefit from generic conversion and thinks they will see 30% earnings growth. With earnings of $7.10 to $7.25 in 2011 the company trades at 12x 2011 estimates and 16x 2010 estimates. He notes this company has a bright future with solid growth and high visibility. For other hedge funds that own this name, we saw that David Stemerman's Conatus Capital had a sizable ESRX position when we looked at their portfolio.

Robbins also thinks that 2010 will be akin to 2004 where stockpicking will return so managers can generate alpha rather than relying on beta like they did in 2009. We haven't covered Glenview much in the past and we did note that back in 2008 they were amongst the top 10 asset losers, but they have since bounced back.


- Clint Carlson (Carlson Capital): Carlson believes that the expectations of an interest rate increase will hang over the markets in 2010. He feels that event-driven strategies in the hedge fund arena will be very successful as M&A will pick up and he thinks the potential for takeovers is not priced into many stocks. We haven't covered Carlson before on the site and note that they run a series of hedge funds in Dallas, TX with over 130 employees focusing on relative value arbitrage, risk arbitrage, credit, and long/short equity.


- Pierre Lagrange (GLG Partners): Lagrange's best idea was essentially London pub companies. He notes these are crowded shorts and yet these companies have stable cash flow and are an enterprise value play. Punch Taverns (LON: PUB) fits the bill here and this is interesting as saw David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital selling shares of Punch Taverns back in November.


That wraps up coverage of the case for global equities panel. Head to the overview of the hedge fund panel and check back tomorrow for summaries of the credit panel, the 2010 investment landscape panel, and more.
