Looking to merger of P&G and Gillete, Buffet perhaps have been right all along. If purchasing power creation -as per my Abracadabra- goes ahead, consumer goods would be very profitable.

Everybody - I have bought some cheap out of the money puts on Merck (MRK) The British medical journal Lancet is going after them - according to The Lancet, Merck's Vioxx endangered 100,000 + people. To me there is a low but real possibility that Meck will go to zero or at laest under $10. The lowest strike I bought was $15.00, bought some at 20 and 25. MRK about 27 down 3. ** I have been buying soem more MSB and WMB. Sold GG goldcorp and sold some SSRI becase they looked weak. Next week , I might buy more PD (copper) and CCJ (uranium) *** MRK is hurting the DJIA. S&P is holding just above resistance.
