For giggles I bought one put that expires in May at $14 after their earnings in April on the 26th. I think Blackstone Mortgage is overexposed with office buildings being 40% of their portfolio value. San Francisco's office market doesn't seem healthy. However, I think the serious money was made during Covid and this new work from home era.

These are pages in the annual report that I think are of interest to you all 6, 69, 82 and 87.

It seems like there is a conflict of interest with Blackstone Mortgage and Blackstone. Maybe I'm imagining things.

Page 105 says don't buy a put with their dry power....

...but there is a lot of evidence that says yes...

It peaked around $150 in late 2021. I suspect it will drop to no less than $50. It has more downside risk.

I suspect it will bottom around $60. 2023 is going to be a very difficult year for Blackstone.

2023's earnings for Blackstone will at best be 50% of its 2018 earnings.

I was looking actually to sell 1 option contract for the $15 Put that expires 19 May.

We will see what happens on the 26th with earnings. Some office buildings are scary.
