On the 21st I was over 30% in cash and planning to stay there until after elections. Nothing that I learned in 10 years of graduate school or 50 years in this mashugana business would have gotten me back in the market. But then, an Algo I know, who has none of my fears and a lot more smarts than me, or the talking heads on TV, said: Go All in. She’s not right all the time, but better than me, is good enough for me.
