To the uninitiated, the numbers might seem a ledger of losses: $12.02 per share where once there were higher peaks; a net income of ($320 million) over trailing twelve months; a S&P 500 that strides forward while Chemours lags, a limping figure in the grand procession. Yet within these figures lies a paradox-the very essence of markets where value is not merely measured, but imagined. Alta Fundamental Advisers, in acquiring 800,000 shares representing 5.41% of their U.S. equity assets, has cast its lot with a company whose fate now hangs in the balance between cyclical misfortune and structural decay.

The SEC’s November 13 filing revealed a liquidation so precise it might have been choreographed by a ballet master. Alta, having once held a 3.71% stake, now gazes upon Calumet’s shares with the detachment of a man who has seen the last act of a play. The sale, a $7.25 million transaction, echoes the final scene of a tragedy where the protagonist’s fate is sealed not by villainy, but by the cold arithmetic of market forces.

Both funds traverse the realm of real estate equities, yet REET’s portfolio spans continents, whereas RWX’s gaze remains fixed beyond the United States. For the investor, these distinctions may evoke a quiet contemplation of the costs, the performances, and the unique terrains each fund unveils to the real estate enthusiast.

On November 13, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission laid bare the quiet drama of portfolio management: Alta Fundamental Advisers, once a steadfast holder, shed nearly half its stake during the third quarter. What remains is a holding of 1.1 million shares, valued at $11.2 million as of September 30-a sum that now constitutes but 4.78% of the fund’s reportable assets, down from 10.2% in the preceding quarter. The transaction, though mechanical in execution, whispers of deeper anxieties. Can a company whose shares have faltered so profoundly still claim a place among the elect?

This morning’s announcement beckoned headlines like moths to a flickering flame: D-Wave, poised to unveil its renowned annealing quantum computing technology at CES 2026 come January 7, 2026, will showcase not just silicon sorcery but also the tantalizing interplay of hybrid quantum-classical solvers and real-world customer use cases. The ever-evangelical vice president of quantum technology, Murray Thom, will wax lyrical about the potential for a triumvirate of synergy among quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain-a veritable menagerie of modern technological marvels.
