We're in the midst of moving around some retirement savings so on Friday afternoon I took my wife's IRA out of mutual funds and put it all into government securities. At the time I was afraid Trump might attack Iran or Greenland over the 3-day weekend, so my instincts weren't completely off.

Feeling pretty smart this morning.
