Well, as the pilgrimage drams to a close, there have been several
interesting incidents during the period. To review:

- SPNC stock tanked more than 50% on a scandal/corruption issue
related to the raid on their headquarters. The company is based in
Colorado Springs, home to several previous Legatus meetings. (http://

- UAUA had a crazy intraday swing on 9/8, related to a faulty news
article that was posted.
- FRE & FNM were taken over by the government; the same day all other
financials went on a brief surge that eventually lost its steam
- And now, 9/15 marks the end of the Rome pilgrimage. And it looks
like something big is going to happen with LEH come monday...and who
knows what will happen to MER & AIG.
