understandable

Moore — a 30-year department veteran whose appointment was confirmed Friday by the Los Angeles City Council — said the reports have generated “understandable mistrust” in the agency.

It would be understandable if investors chose to stick with what’s working: simply rotating into more traditionally defensive sectors like consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare, rather than fixed income.

It’s an understandable move: Many might feel shortchanged if Mr. Icke had chosen otherwise.

While this portfolio move is understandable, investing that chunk instead in dividend-paying blue-chip stocks would likely do much better over a decade.

I initially viewed this as an ideological reaction, an understandable response to a polarizing figure.
