You mean you haven't memorized the one letter ticker symbols? Shame on you! -g- It's USAir, and he's made a small fortune with it over the last few years.

Some snippets from the Julian Robertson interview:

He's a little more worried than before about the world markets, and about Japan. He remains far less exposed than usual. Europe and U.S. are best, because they care the most for profitability. He has both longs and shorts in Japan. He's very worried about Asia. Their problems are not remotely close to being solved, and the markets should have another leg down. In Korea, the government has been changed, but that was not the problem. The problem was corporations more concerned with sales than profits. Unfortunately, the Asian markets are not well developed enough to present many shorting opportunities.

He's still very positive on USAir. Steven Wolf is the best manager in the business, as he proved in his three previous stints running an airline. Also, the stock trades at only 7 times '99 earnings.

He's also still very bullish on palladium. 25% more consumed than produced annually, and the Russian stockpiles are much lower than people think.
