For Thurs:
LIFE review
VIV look again
Data storage
Review Trim, Buy and Watch

SDRL: good report on the company
ABB: wouldn't buy here, hold for now, story is still good.
VZ: could make sense for newer money, bought the ETF which has a good slug
PX: would buy here, valuation
VIV: would buy in here, HW has been selectively adding at 3%. Unicell is a competitor, but VIV has better coverage
TBT and TBF: encouraged by last week's action, but think it will pull back.
LIFE: under review, WJ holds in High Plains but struggling for a reason to continue to hold it. There are some hurdles looking at the next few quarters.
TEVA: still a hold

DS will pull telecom info if people are interested in increasing exposure to that sector. Especially in Latin Am.

EPD is merging with it's GP, more to come
