I own [t]CHKP[/t] but I don't believe it to be undervalued. I have it for long time as a theme investment into computer security market. I realized though that even with all the yapping about the importance of computer security, people just use the lowest common denominator as they do in their houses... :( Plus you get a lot of non-monetary competition from captive security solutions, such as measures directly integrated into the OSes, routers, databases, networking software and so on. In essence, it's an OK market, but it's not a great market I thought it was.

[t]SNY[/t] - Buffett owns it too. I did not see much appeal, but you are right that vaccine division is attractive.

In for a starter position of SNY. Seems like a good defensive play. I like their global exposure. They even have exposure in China.

Purchased SWCEY, RYCEY, AIG ( adds) and a starter in GE in addition to SNY, CHKP mentioned earlier today.

I was lucky to have sold out of ACAS GW, VTV and reduced positions in EXPGY, SSUMY, AEO and JWN earlier so plenty of cash is available.

It sure looks like a repeat of the late January panic market is pending.
