I'm being patient as I have faith in Trump to rattle things yet.

I got them in two tranches, as noted here. I might get back in tomorrow with the nut.

Did anyone see any of the CNN election coverage where they had become infatuated with the word "tranche"? I saw it come up a few times and it seemed like it had been going on all night with people talking about how they are happy to have discovered a new word.

You telling me that a bunch of political commentators including David Axelrod, Santorum, and Anderson Cooper don't have the word tranche in their common parlance? They were all active during the financial crisis as either advisors or journalists...the word tranche was central to the cause of the entire crisis.

Yes, that was hilarious.

Well, all those commentators are pretty fungible.

I used to think ‘fungible’ referred to bullets that broke into fragments to maximize damage/minimize overpenetration, but realized that was actually ‘frangible’

Pfizer popped over a dollar yesterday (almost 2 at the peak) and today it has dropped 50 cents. For ***** sake I can't handle this stress. I need Pfizer high at day 1 so my stock converts very favorably

ngl i'm surprised 'overpenetration' is even in your vocabulary

Lulz at CNN including a pic/clip of bright shiny bitcoins so people could better understand the story.

Time to get the nut in today. My market timing back in the April crash scored me BIGLY and my recent market timing scored me two nice tranches but nut goes back in and I'll retain a small delta from the recent move to cash. Between Biden and Pfizer need to be back in. I'll risk a coming downside to have a shot at the upside now given my time line of a decade plus.

ETA: and thus ends my attempts to market time in any material way. Just way less thought and energy into leaving things alone and keep the portfolio balance in line with our needs and point in life.
