What the Smart Investors Are Buying - Yahoo! Finance

The takeaway ...

3. George Soros
Soros's fund more than quadrupled down on its position in Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL - News), buying more than 11 million shares last quarter.

You probably forgot that airlines could make good investments. So did everyone else. But in truth, the airline industry cut out so much excess capacity during the recession that its pricing power is now returning. Seats are full. Ticket prices are rising. The end of 2010 was the first time in more than 10 years that the industry had a profitable fourth quarter.

The company doesn't actually, or perhaps (arguably) even morally, owe her a nickel. But get it in the press, and DAL looks like the bad guy....somethin' bad wrong with that.

Actually, the company can refuse to accept the pet at check-in when the temps are below 10 degrees F. If we accept the pet, we accept responsibility. Shipping pets is not a cheap endeavor. Now, you could ask the questions why the person just didn't carry the cat on board. Or the owner could have tried to do what this bright women tried.

I assume you would have preferred someone such as Ruport Murdoch or Francisco Lorenzo?

Gopher Bounty May End in Saint Francis

A big bounty of gophers is leading to the end of a longtime tradition for an Anoka County town. Last month Jim Jones turned in nearly 700 pair of gopher feet to the city of Saint Francis,

For decades the community tried to control the gopher population by paying a $1.50 bounty for a pair of gopher feet. The city budgets $700 for the bounties, but last year it had to pay out $1,400.

Now the city plans on eliminating the gopher bounty in March.
See! I'm not the only one that's got problems with em.
