What’s equally as interesting as his sale of major financials is where Soros has shifted his money. At the same time he was selling bank stocks, he was acquiring some 884,000 shares (approx. $130 million) of Gold via the SPDR Gold Trust.

Warren Buffet sells Intel holdingsAs the Washington Post reports, Berkshire sold the 7.7 million shares of Intel stock it owned and, according to a regulatory filing, bought nearly 3 million shares of National Oilwell Varco and Phillips 66.
This week, it was revealed that the Social Security Administration plans to buy 174,000 hollow point bullets which will be delivered to 41 different locations all over America.
Back in March, Homeland Security purchased 450 million rounds of .40-caliber hollow point bullets that are designed to expand upon entry and cause maximum organ damage, prompting questions as to why the DHS needed such a large amount of powerful bullets merely for training purposes
gotta like these people for sheer gumption
"it" was revealed by whom? who exactly was the amazing whistle blower on this one......julian assange is busy right now, so, after the beep, please divulge your inside tip on what the bad guys or the good guys are doing......

RFT from the gov is legit. i.e. it was "revealed" by the Government as soon as they put out a public request to U.S arms dealers and gun shops asking for a quote! Interpretations from sites like prisonplanet and infowars is probably not. But you gotta admit it does raise some qs.
lol the funny thing about DHS is that like most other U.S gov bodies they do all their tender process over the net. So you're right in the sense that they don't tell people what they're up to...but you can almost always see what goods and services they are tendering right now.
As for the Buffett INTC sale, wasn't that a classic value play by WB? Bought on P/E multiple compression into 2011, and sold on expansion into 2012.
yeah, like who was the prankster who knew the 'quote request' would be recorded.....not everyone who has a government job sings in the band we're--in-this-together ........this stuff cracks me up
Joules, I am having trouble understanding your english here. Please clarify?
I mean, this is the Social Security Administration we are talking about making the RFT, not DHS, that's why it's raising eyebrows.

.
the words 'combined synopsis' at the head of the xl tend to make me think the 'request' is bogus
ok, it's what the article is careful not to speculate on.....that's the key.....the article is vaguely specific and invites you to fill in some well chosen blanks and omits opposing logic that quckly dismisses it's claims.......
You think a tender request on fbo.gov is bogus? Because of the words combined synopsis?
A CS is a pretty common type of tender request, Joules...

Ok I get what you are saying, but still, SSA tendering for hollowpoints has raised eyebrows, not just in conspiracy nut circles either. In this case I'm very curious to hear your "opposing logic".
Anyway:

The request is not bogus, and according SSA and NOAA, they have legit use for the ammo.
CME Group Inc. (CME)’s European clearing house, based in London, appointed Deutsche Bank AG (DBK), HSBC Holdings Plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co. as gold depositaries.
