Q: What are your thoughts on the Santander's $12.3 Bln purchase of Webstar financial group, to expand their US landscape in Mid West ? It's a Cash and stock deal and Bank confirmed that it is committed to the 5% stock buyback plan, recently approved and has surplus capital to fund this.

Santander stock has dropped 7% today, after this news release ( conversely Webstar stock popped 9% ).

How is stock's present valuation and does today's pull back present a buying opportunity, in your view ?

Thank You

Q: I’ve heard and read comments that Constellation’s precipitous drop is fuelled by sentiment.

Would the same not be true of its climb?

In retrospect would you say that the $5000 price was overvalued? Was it ever worth that much? What ever “worth” means. Or were investors just chasing the latest thing.

On a positive note, I now no longer have to sell some to rebalance.
