DRL - I am thinking of buying a few more shares myself if it drops much lower. Their quarter will probably be bad with the flattening yield curve, but I think the shares are getting into deep value territory again. As long as the dividend is safe, the shares should bounce nicely after the November 10th restatement deadline. Also, I believe a major international bank like Citigroup will be interested in buying them.

OT WMT - some news.

Wal Mart Memo Proposes Health, Benefit Cuts
An internal Wal Mart memo obtained by the New York Times proposes the company curtail spending on employee benefits while minimizing damage to its public image. The Times reports the recommendations include hiring more part-time workers, reducing retirement contributions and discouraging unhealthy people from applying for positions. To discourage unhealthy applicants, the memo proposes Wal-Mart arrange for: "all jobs to include some physical activity (e.g., all cashiers do some cart-gathering)." The memo also acknowledged the company is already in a delicate position because 46 percent of the children of 1.3 million employees are uninsured on or Medicaid.
