The Treasury has overshot its sales target in recent auctions, showing it still is capable of selling its debt even if has to rely on domestic banks to do so as international investors avoid Spanish debt.

Given the aggressive nature of the ongoing stock buyback program, in place for the last several years, I wonder how many shares the corporation was able to grab during the brief precipitous drop in price in late April and early May? Applying the subsequent run up in of the last 6 weeks, the quick increase in value of any shares returned to the company treasury would be impressive indeed.
One of my most historically reliable and accurate fee for service investment advice services has WMT at price target of $83.52 as of 6/14/2012. That price is arguably approaching "split" territory, based on prior 2 for 1 split history.
Nice position!

The Euro-Crisis Sputters Along
(excerpt)
The Greek elections were the worst possible outcome for the euro, for financial stability, and perhaps even for German chancellor Angela Merkel. Mrs. Merkel was quoted as sternly informing the Greeks on the eve of Sunday’s election that there was no prospect of renegotiating the “deal” — severe public-spending cuts in return for loans from the European Union, a “haircut” of 75 percent imposed on those investors who had foolishly lent Athens money, and the fig leaf of a denial that these amounted to a default by Greece. On the face of it, her comments looked like a threat designed to drive the Greeks into the arms of the New Democracy party. But perhaps they were designed to be an irritant that would drive the Greeks into the arms of the anti-bailout far-left party Syriza.

This potential new indication could elevate bexarotine to major blockbuster level if there is any promise shown in human trials, and while I have no idea how quickly data might begin to come in, it seems intuitive that a drug already on the market could be "fast tracked" rather easily. Any positive trials, official or unofficial, will likely spread like wildfire across the internet. The valuation on a truly effective Alzheimer's treatment would be mind boggling. (no pun intended)

Election Results: Greece Is Still Doomed And So Is The Rest Of Europe (GREK, EWP, EUO, EWG, VGK, FXE)
(excerpt)
The situation in Europe (NYSEARCA:IEV) is very grim.
Greece is going to need bailouts for as far as the eye can see.
Spain is almost certainly going to need a huge bailout.
Italy is almost certainly going to need a huge bailout.
Ireland and Portugal look like they are going to need more money.
France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) is increasingly looking vulnerable, and Francois Hollande appears to have no real solutions up his sleeve.

Zerohedge: Buy. Real. Assets. NOW! (GLD, SLV, AGQ, USO, DBC)
(excerpt)
In the case of Posen’s most recent statement, it’s most likely that such a heretical buying spree to shave further value off the world’s major fiat currencies will be conducted globally. It appears, too, central banks are also coordinating preparatory language for the collective grand announcement—the bazooka.
Other hints of desperate measures forthcoming comes from the EU, according to Reuters. Capital flight akin to the 1970s in Europe is expected to escalate, mostly out of the PIIGS banks, this time, and into Swiss banks, again, where monetary policymakers there have recently stated their undying resolve to prevent a spike up in the franc during the capital flight out of the PIIGS banks.
Moreover, to limit destabilizing capital movements, free movement (of human bodies) across EU member states, afforded Europeans by way of the Schengen Agreement of 1985, may be coming to an end, as memories of the 1997 Asian currency crisis saw money from SE Asia and Indonesia flooding over the boarders in suitcases into the Switzerland of Asia, Singapore. Instead of Europeans moving unrestricted from country to country as Americans move from state to state, inspections of passport stamps and bulky suitcases will most likely reemerge, suddenly.

IMPOSING BORDER CHECKS, LIMITING ATM WITHDRAWALS ALSO PART OF WORST-CASE SCENARIO PLANNING – EU SOURCES – RTRS
