[GMadScientist]

That's some crowded ass dartboards they've got in the executive suite.

What is their HFT allocation....this will probably be 80% of their portfolio soon....

I sow no trends...nothing exciting...just jumping from chair to chair...to make it look good on paper

I like how Appaloosa is increasing AAPL while Greenlight is reducing their holdings, should get those two together for coffee!  LOL!

But agreed, nothing to get thrilled about here...until those financials implode...

[LongSoupLine]

These are the public lists...

Note no "useless relic" additions.  Makes me feel good about my gold/silver accumulation.

edit:  wow, junked for pumping physical PM's...Blythe's trolls must be out today.

Is Uncle Warren giving us the *wink* that zerObama has the back of his new buys? I guess I need to throw down on...Deere (DE), Precision Castparts (PCP), WABCO (WBC), Media General (MEG)
