“Early in the second quarter, we sold our Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) shares on the official announcement that Elon Musk would acquire the company at $54.20 per share. Although we typically would wait for what was then a large 7% merger/arb spread to close, we figured in this market environment it would be beneficial to move aside in the event future drama might ensue while building cash in order to opportunistically deploy into better opportunities.
