noun, -- gay marriage, cutting and running from Iraq, coddling terrorists, raising taxes, amnesty for illegals
Over the space of a few days, the phrase "San Francisco values" has passed from the lips of conservative FOX News commentator Bill O'Reilly and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich onto the editorial pages of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, where the paper endorsed a Republican congressional candidate because a Democratic House would mean "Pelosi will be speaker and her far-left San Francisco values -- gay marriage, cutting and running from Iraq, coddling terrorists, raising taxes, amnesty for illegals -- will become the House agenda."
In a recent online fundraising pitch, the now-pundit Gingrich asked supporters, "Will everything you've worked so hard to accomplish be lost to the San Francisco values of would-be Speaker Nancy Pelosi?" In Thursday's National Review Online, House Speaker Dennis Hastert asked, "Do we really want Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco values leading the culture war?" Neither elaborated on the meaning of "San Francisco values."

Get the San Francisco Values mug.A very dynamic set of beliefs that serve as a core tenant of political candidate campaigns, yet are not a reliable metric to determine a candidate's worthiness of office.
The term represents one or more beliefs in the candidate's belief system. A popular strategy is to campaign on strong core values while avoiding clearing defining what those values actually are.
Candidates typically avoiding defining their values and will typically deflect to another talking point. However, when cornered, candidates may attempt to define their values, but throughout the rest of the campaign they are free to add, edit, or remove any subset of their values for the sake of voter turnout.

Sarah Palin boasts about her small-town values, which include Christianity, pro-life, small government, being able to see Russia, giving shoutouts to elementary school classrooms during a televised debate, and allowing her daughters to throw massive parties, destroy property, and let innocent boys take the fall for their actions.

Get the volume mug.(FINANCE) patent pending a financial derivative that splits the value of underlying asset in various proportions, each of which has a specific seniority level (less senior cannot be executed before the senior one). It allows the owner to claim either fixed monetary value or variable value share of underlying asset, depending on the specific Tranched Value Security's seniority.
A Tranched Value Security (TVS) allows one to get a risk and return exposure to the specific level of underlying asset price risk, as opposed to previously existent derivatives that allowed to do so with the entire asset price only. Within such design of financial security, owner of TVS is able to reap significant profits by taking limited risk.
One could issue a Senior and Junior Tranched Value Securities, each having a variable value share of 50%, and fixed value share of $40, backed by (say) one Bitcoin when it's price was $100. If consequentially the Bitcoin price declines to $80, the Senior TVS would remain at $50 (0% return), while the Junior TVS would become $30 (-40% return). With subsequent price correction to $110 per one Bitcoin, both TVSs would have a claim of 50% of market price ($55), making the return of Senior TVS +10%, and return for Junior TVS +83%.

Buying a Senior Tranched Value Security is a way to get a long position in the underlying asset's potential returns, with significantly limited downside potential.
Buying a Junior TVS is a way to get substantial return potential, surpassing that of leveraged positions, while having no chance of being liquidated.
Selling a Tranched Value Security (TVS) is a way to get rid of the desired either upper (exposing oneself to greater returns) or lower part (exposing oneself to less volatile returns) of price risk of underlying asset.
