IBIO Stake Started

The fund has started a stock position in biotech firm Ibio Inc.. The company's mission is " developing therapeutics and vaccines for the betterment of human and animal health" and has a patented plant based testing system named Fastpharming. The fund believes Ibio is positioned well during this time of epidemic and has experience with its previous work on SARS. They have connections all around the world and a first class facility in Bryan, Texas. 

Technically, the stock price is leveling at $1.00 with a lot of room to run.  There will likely be a short term move to 2.00 with any positive news and to $300 or above on positive revenue news. We believe this will happen in the next 6 months.

Sold Crispr Stake

The fund has sold its stake in Crispr for $60.25. Reasons for the sale are below. We still believe in the valuable work in Crispr. It is more a financial decision than anything else. We will continue to monitor its progress.

- Crispr hit a target of $60.00 far quicker than the fund believed could happen.
- Other opportunities within the biosciences sector have been found.

Sold Remaining Microvision Shares

With some surprise, Microvision's stock price hit our target. With another opportunity staring at us, we have decided to sell the remaining shares at $0.94. The total profit for the 2 months the shares were held was over 300%. This was not expected.

Proceeds will go to taxes, KeaneVCC charity, investors and the rest will be put back into the account.

New Position in Social Capital

A new position has been started in Social Capital (symbol IPOB.U). The fund paid $10.20 for each unit. There is no plan to sell the stake and a strong motivation to keep adding to the position.

Social Capital's mission is "to advance humanity by solving the world’s hardest problems". Who doesn't like that mission ;)? In some seriousness, they are a driven company with an exceptional CEO (Samath Palihapitiya). The market value of the companies they invest in have yet to be quantified. KDK Fund expects this stake to keep producing positive results (financial and otherwise) for decades to come.  Their website can be found here.
