MARKET CURRENTS

  • 6:37 PM In its earnings call today, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) CEO Meg Whitman remarked that its position in the PC market has been boosted by recent efforts to sell tablets powered by Google's (GOOG) Android, thus allowing it to compete in tablets again after discontinuing its Palm/webOS TouchPad in 2011. "If we have the right product and the right price, the channel still loves H-P and they want to sell our products," Whitman said. "Frankly, having Android products helps a lot."

  • 5:58 PM A theme bubbling up at the start of the annual MLP conference (where attendance is up 38% Y/Y): the largely retail ownership of MLPs is slowly shifting as more institutions get interested in MLPs. Individuals tend to be unwilling to sell MLPs as the deferred tax burden rises, and more institutional ownership could fuel more trading or short-short selling in MLPs. 1 Comment [Energy]
