CarMax: A Calculated Risk, or Mere Sentiment?

The filing with the SEC reveals a new position, a rather substantial one, comprising 5.18% of BML’s reported assets. To devote such a portion to a retailer of pre-owned automobiles is… unexpected. One typically expects such funds to chase the ephemeral dreams of biotech startups, not the solid, if somewhat dusty, reality of used car lots. It suggests a conviction, a belief that the market has miscalculated, that CarMax, despite its recent misfortunes, is not destined for the scrap heap.
