You know that I was stung by Cardinal when I did all the work and read every single one of the pieces of research. I felt that Cardinal was most aggrieved. It should be much higher. It wasn't a bad quarter. It was not a great quarter. They did have a couple of missteps. They're one time only. I think when they come back, this is a comeback quarter and you do want to buy it. If we were not restricted, I think I would buy it today. Next week we've got DuPont. I think it could be okay. Don't know if it's great. Eaton has tended to sell off when they report. That's something you should be thinking about. The stock has had a major move. Arm Holdings, I think that Renee Haas is going to talk about how he has more CPUs coming than anybody else. That's a tip of down five. And the stock has run quite a bit. You know it's been a big winner for us.

But if the stock is this strong going in, up 100%, it's not going to be one that I necessarily think is going to blow things away. But it is one where he's going to talk about how well the CPU orders are that he's doing. And I don't think people are ready for that. That could be terrific. We also have Corning holding an Investor's Day on Wednesday. That's in New York.

There Wendell East who's the CEO, he will be talking. Stock was up big yesterday, still up 84%. I think that there's more. When I go down the list of what I saw yesterday, Salesforce is a little bit stronger. Atlassian had a good quarter. That's the software as a service company. So that's making Mark's company look very good.

I do think that I'm working on Honeywell. I feel it's a better story than people realize. I think Wells Fargo is better than people realize. Obviously, Lilly was just extraordinary quarter. The number of things that they're working on with Lilly are so widespread that I think that if you sell Lilly, you're going to be selling it too soon no matter what you do. I think next stop is 1000 and it will be much higher even after that.
