With Occidental in the middle of an M&A battle, let's revisit the time it bought a stake in the maker of Arm & Hammer baking soda because Oxy's chairman was named Armand Hammer and he was tired of people wrongly assuming he owned it (h/t @RamseyAlRikabi) https://t.co/jQsGTpwgKT

Good dinner w/EPD tonight: they don’t think FERC crude marketing ruling impacts them, they don’t know what the next steps are for FERC...on project returns, they acknowledge more disclosure could help investors out, they see broad energy weakness and bad actors driving weakness

[Robert Grattan @rpgrattan]

@newguymeltz @HoustonFowler Yea, he probably got good odds too if he bought early. If he hedged a lot, seems like a pretty cheap way for great publicity. Nice.

[Robert Grattan @rpgrattan]

@HoustonFowler Ha! Story said he bought insurance for a portion. Was wondering who from tho. I mean Vegas bookie? AIG? Geico? Some investment bank?

[Robert Grattan @rpgrattan]

Ouch. Mattress Mack loses $10 million on World Series bet. I wonder how he hedged this though. https://t.co/RotK7uT0O2 via @HoustonChron
