Integrated Resources, Inc.

Thesis
I was particularly focused on Integrated Resources which was playing unbelievable accounting games and financing itself with junk debt issued at 14%. The company was overpaying for office buildings and syndicating their ownership interest in uneconomic deals, leading to heavily negative cash flow and overstated earnings.
Did it work?
inconclusive
confidence: low
Without specific price performance data or a defined time frame since the pitch, it's difficult to assess whether the thesis has played out. The concerns raised about accounting practices and cash flow issues could still be valid, but without further information, we cannot determine the outcome of the short thesis.
