This Week’s Moves

No Moves This Week!

Despite a relatively volatile week given we’re at the end of the summer doldrums, there were no moves in the Speculation in Play portfolio. That being said, September is nearly always a crazy month in one direction or another, so taking one last vacation before heading into the insanity that is the fourth quarter was fine by me, no doubt.
