Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn continued to pick up new stocks in the first quarter, including Penn Entertainment , as the longtime value investor struggles to find opportunities in the volatile market.
He established the stake at an average cost of $22.69 per share, but the stock has fallen to $17.44 as of Wednesday.
Still, Einhorn said sports betting, if executed right, could take the shares much higher.
"Were the market to credit PENN with merely 15% of DraftKings' value, that segment alone would be worth $20 per share."
Q4 buyer's strike Einhorn had stopped building new stock positions at one point in the fourth quarter, saying he was on a "buyer's strike" due to worries about intensifying geopolitical risks.
