Greystone Capital Management made the following comment about Polished.com Inc. (AMEX:POL) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“We sold out of our position in Polished.com Inc. (AMEX:POL) this quarter, closing the chapter on an incredibly unsuccessful investment. Following the year-long period during which the company attempted to get current on their financial filings dating back to Q2 2022, the company finally released their financial statements only to reveal an over-levered, significantly declining business that had been mismanaged all the way back to our initial investment.

I am more than glad to be moving on from this business. There are significant lessons to be taken from investment mistakes, which unfortunately, can be great teachers. The mark of a good portfolio manager is one who learns from mistakes, and ceases making the same ones repeatedly. I will do my best to avoid a similar fate going forward. For the sake of brevity, I’ve emailed clients separately my thoughts regarding our position.”
