Flip-flop:

Some changes in portfolio.

I decided that TESB.BE is not a great business and may not have great results going forward even with good management at the helm. I sold most of my position. The business is cyclical though and I may have sold before cycle turn.
I exited MD position due to questionable news.
I further reduced Fannie/Freddie pref position as there were no positive news on the regulatory side or on the legal side.

I added to FB and BAM as stocks have dropped.
I bought initial tracking position in BYDDF.
I bought a position in TVPT. It seems to be a good business targeted by activist investor.
