I am throwing in my wild guess BAM (or one of it's subsidiaries like BPY). ... I thought I should focus on "assets" here .... He was careful not to say US, so i am guessing Canadian .... someone earlier suggested it should start with a B (i don't know how they got to that, but it fits with my guess, so including it as a rationale ;D ) .... He still didn't answer if it was written up on the board. I am assuming it was. BAM was also written up ( so are many others, but this also fits with my guess)

But few mutual and exchange-traded funds actually follow the Dow industrials when compared to the S&P 500. Some $1.6 trillion in mutual and exchange-traded funds directly track the S&P 500, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. That compares with just $30 billion that follows the Dow. http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2013/09/10/dow-shakeup-wont-leave-big-trading-footprint/ How about pseudo indexers and index front runners? Wont they amount to something?

Huh, BAC is up! Was hoping the indexers would hand me their BAC >:(

Very good question. I would like to know the answer to this too. I always naively assumed some sort of momentum/ spread Algo based trader was on the other side.

Nate, Truly appreciate the great work you do on your blog. Are there any plans for keeping a running list of the stocks which you have analyzed and written about in a separate section on your website?

I recently got very interested in these too. Personally I find these companies easier to understand. The have unique risks/qualities associated with them, are under followed, less liquid, management/majority ownership is usually a bigger deal, but there are definitely some interesting companies in there. Some good resources to find some quality names are http://www.oddballstocks.com/ http://otcadventures.com/ http://www.whopperinvestments.com/ http://ragnarisapirate.blogspot.com/ Personally I own or I am waiting to own some of the names below AMNF,TLF,ARTW, MPAD

Hyderabad,India-> Chennai, India -> Durham, NC -> NY,NY

I must admit, I never once thought about the employees and jobs angle here. That is a potential political counterweight to the political argument about the bail out.
