Whirlpool (WHR +2.3%) jumps higher despite yesterday's revelation that John Paulson shed his stake in the company - a move that NBG's Brian Sozzi tweets is telling based on the company's "durable competitive advantages." Today's minor run in share price has been helped by a strong presentation by management at a JPMorgan homebuilding conference that includes a reiteration of full-year EPS at $6.50-$7.00.
