Not Exactly The Start I Wanted

Not Exactly Start I Wanted

Always exciting to start a new tranche.  While I am in it for a year, it is human nature to watch it more closely the first couple of weeks.  We'd like to see quickly that we are indeed a "stock market genius".

Well, the tranche I started this week is making me look like exactly the opposite of a stock market genius.  WSTC crashed day 2 and has 0% chance of recovering.  TGNA followed with sad earnings. Then TIME announced earnings yesterday and they were highly disappointing.  They slashed dividend, missed revenues - just awful across the board.

Then I see that one of my "rejects", VEC popped 15% yesterday.  Oh well.  As Charlie Brown says, "you learn more from your losses than your victories".  And the sun did come up today on a beautiful spring morning.
