November 2018 Performance

Well, I got walloped again in November as my portfolio was not able to escape the sell-off. I’m basically in hibernation mode with a ~ 13% cash position. I did come out of the cave today by initiating a position in Tesaro (Ticker: TSRO) via short puts, which is being acquired by GlaxoSmithKline (Ticker: GSK) for $75.00 in cash. This is the type of deal I like, a tender offer situation with low antitrust risk. I’m going to keep this post short as there really is nothing else new to report…
