            • Hillbilly Stock Star: Larry Fink is bullish, let's just say he got to look at an interesting "set of books" imo.

                Hewlett Packard is so much hated that I quite love it. Could get as much as 4 billions from ORCL, funding as much as 43% of the 9.2B Buyback

                        The problem with NG : Donlin is too valuable! Barrick will do whatever they can to buy the remaining 50%.

                                        My second biggest position is bid, bought back in aug/sept. I'm not worried about today's slump. Still holding.
