This year's CEBIT 2018 was a mix of triple-punch of business, leads & ideas. The event's major highlights were exhibitions, conferences, and networking, where CEBIT covered every single angle of digitization of business, government, and society. CEBIT 2018 was designed with a new perspective with four major sections namely, d!conomy, d!tec, d!talk and d!campus. The five-day show represented an entirely new approach, but one thing remains static and that's the event's core focus on generating leads and business for all concerned. As always, the global event was on Sjain Ventures' bucket-list and Company participated for the consecutive third time.
As you all know that Sjain Ventures has recently inaugurated its first ever international branch at Hannover (Germany) and Istanbul (Turkey). Thus, appearing in CEBIT was quite special for us. The major event started on June 12th '2018 and ended on June 15th '2018. These days were filled with fascinating insights into the digitization of the economy and society. Sjain Ventures showcased the vibrant range of futuristic services in IT, MEDIA & CONSULTING at STALL NO. A 06-15. The stall was the one-stop solution for all the business needs of start-ups or reigning business houses. Company's Founder & Promoter, Shreyansh Jain was the prime face at the stall who interacted with the visitors all through the show, explaining our innovative approach at every step. It turned out a huge success which illuminated various angles of digital transformation for every visitor.
Divya Jain was also present at the venue interacting with multiple visitors at the same time. She has a strong understanding of the business planning and marketing practices that enabled the next level of business development. We have met more than a hundred startups, influencers, and thinkers who can predict the future and work in the same orientation. CEBIT was the platform for Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Internet of Things, Future Mobility, Drones & Unmanned Systems, Blockchain and more. And it unfolded some striking elements every time that added another chapter to the glory of world's biggest trade expo.
We are also happy to acquire some of the biggest international projects on merit, which we'll discuss in the next article. Majority of these projects will be delivered by the team working at the Sjain head office in Raipur. While a share of the project will be handled at the international branches.

Police Officer William Brownlee Myers
Washington City Police Department
Washington City Police Department, Pennsylvania
End of Watch Sunday, August 29, 1909
William Brownlee Myers
Police Officer William Myers succumbed to a head injury received one year earlier while making an arrest during a domestic dispute between a mother and her son on Strawberry Avenue.
Officer Myers was in the process of arresting the son, who was acting disorderly and had assaulted his mother. As he was arresting the son he was attacked by both the son and mother, after being struck by a fire poker in the head by the mother. The mother and son were both charged with felonious assault and battery, and resisting arrest.
Officer Myers was treated by doctors with a brain tumor 15 months after the incident. While being a patient at Washington Hospital for two weeks, an operation was performed to release pressure on his brain. He died several days after the surgery.
In August 1908, the son was found guilty and was sentenced to six months in a workhouse. The mother was also found guilty and ordered to pay a $5.00 fine and costs of prosecution.
Police Officer William Myers served with the Washington City Police Department for nine years. He was survived by his wife and two small children.

Dr. Takher is the best dentist ever, no need to look any further. He is brilliant - he treats you with respect and dignity. He is kind and never pushes any treatment plan on you. He is ethical and I trust him implicitly... now let's talk about his staff. Amazing, everyone one of them. I have found my forever dentist office.
Everyone is very friendly and caring. The office is pleasant and professional. The exam was thorough and informative. I felt well-cared for.
So far - SO GREAT!!
Back in Vacaville after many years and needed a dentist for my family. Looked on Yelp and Pena Adobe Dental had such good ratings that I had to give them a try. The staff is warm and welcoming and the doctor is young and fun! My son had a great experience with his cleaning. I go tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll get another chance to review after my appointment!!
I must say I truly liked my experience at the office. The girls were friendly and professional and Dr. Takhar made me feel comfortable and relaxed while explaining a treatment plan for me. Plus he's fun too. I love the "family" atmosphere!
I received excellent care. The dental team members are polite and efficient. The energy of the office is friendly and positive. Dr. Takher creates an atmosphere that puts fears at ease.
This is the best dental office in the world ,I have been going there for many years and have always had the best experience with all the people that work there. I will always recommend and give praise to all of you.
My visits are always pleasant, quick and professional.
Friendly upbeat vibe combined with superior professionalism!
Great first experience. Friendly team, nice/convenient location, and very professional. Kudos to Pena Adobe Dental! This is the way a dental practice should be ran. Thanks!
Had my bi-annual cleaning. Everything went easy, painless and fast. Staff was the usual happy greeting bunch of nice folks.

Dominic Thiem Elates Fans With His Eye-Catching Football Skills During French Open Clash
Updated on Oct 05, 2020, 18:44 IST
By Rohan Raj

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic continue to remain the star trio of the tennis world but their domination is now being challenged by the next generation of players who have the potential of becoming future stars. Amongst those, Dominic Thiem remains one of the key candidates owing to his consistent performances in recent years.
The Austrian has already proved his mettle against some of the best in the business. And, his performances in the ongoing French Open tournament hasn't been any different. Currently ranked third, the 27-year-old was seen celebrating yet another win as he survived the threat posed by Frenchman Hugo Gaston to eke out a 6-4, 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 6-3 fourth round win.
While his grit to survive the challenge of a five-setter and overcome a threatening opponent earned him accolades, it was Thiem's surprising football skills that caught everyone's attention.
During the fifth set of the match, Thiem's forehand went a bit too long as Gaston casually lobbed it back into his opponent's court, having already won the point.
after a ton of dropshots I had to show @HugoGaston7 that I also got some touch today Great match! Keep it up! @rolandgarros #RolandGarros pic.twitter.com/j7jmi128p5
— Dominic Thiem (@ThiemDomi) October 4, 2020
The ball travelled high in the air before coming down eventually. But that didn't seem to bother Thiem at all as he took it down with his right foot like a pro and then went on to complete a few juggles with his legs, showing everyone a rare glimpse of his eye-catching football skills.
The way you handle yourself under pressure is really impressive. At this time of that match, tension was high, and this is how you distress. Wow, you are my champ, always
— Vivacious (@vivamsimango) October 4, 2020
For someone who has lost the French Open finals in the last two editions, Thiem is now gearing up to take on Argentine Diego Schwartzman in the quarterfinals on 6th October.
Thiem is well on course to collide with his old nemesis Rafael Nadal in the tournament's semifinals. Nadal, who had defeated Thiem in the finals of the last two editions of French Open, will take on 19-year-old Jannik Sinner in his quarterfinal tie tomorrow.

HVAC System Upgrades: Should You Upgrade Before Selling Your Home?
If there's one thing that can be said about Denver's weather, it's that things can change in the blink of an eye. Heat and air conditioning are both necessities, and when it comes to luxury homes, people expect newer systems that can easily keep up with changing conditions. Here's what you need to know about HVAC system upgrades if you are thinking of selling your Denver-area home.
Why Not Lower the Price?
There are some realtors out there who will tell you that HVAC systems matter very little when it comes to selling a home as long as they work and provide comfort to the living space. However, when it comes to luxury homes, HVAC system upgrades can make or break a sale. Although a potential buyer could always adjust his or her bid downward in order to reflect the cost of replacing a system that is obviously beyond its mechanical life, this presents a hassle to that buyer, and it could cause you to lose an opportunity to sell your home.
The number one reason to consider HVAC system upgrades is the actual age of your unit. For the most part, the average mechanical lifetime for these systems is between 10 and 20 years, depending on the system itself and how it has been maintained. For example, if your HVAC unit is 10 years old but has never really been maintained, you may want to consider replacing it. On the other hand, if your unit is 15 years old, has had regular maintenance, and works just like new, replacement may not be necessary.
In today's day and age, people are incredibly concerned about energy efficiency. Not only does it save them money on their overall heating and cooling costs, but it also reduces their energy use. The SEER rating for your HVAC system is a standardized measurement of its performance, and it could be a number anywhere between 8 and 23. In general, the higher the number, the more efficient the system. If your unit's SEER rating is less than 13, you might want to consider HVAC system upgrades. Four out of five HVAC units sold in 2015 and the first half of 2016 have ratings of 13 or higher.
Has It Needed Frequent Repairs?
Finally, if you are considering HVAC system upgrades before selling your Denver luxury home, be sure to think about the number of repairs it has needed throughout the years. If your unit is a decade old and has never needed a single major repair due to excellent maintenance, replacement may not be necessary. On the other hand, if your unit is a decade old and you've already replaced a major component, you may want to consider upgrading the entire system.

Justia › US Law › Case Law › Missouri Case Law › Supreme Court of Missouri Decisions › 1963 › Braun v. Hoffmeister
Braun v. Hoffmeister
Rosella BRAUN, Appellant. v. Carl HOFFMEISTER, Respondent.
Supreme Court of Missouri, Division No. 1.
*407 Jack H. Ross, Coleman, Ross & Cekovsky, Clayton, William L. Mason, Jr., St. Louis, for appellant.
F. X. Cleary, C. M. Kirkham, Moser, Marsalek, Carpenter, Cleary & Jaeckel, St. Louis, for respondent.
HOLLINGSWORTH, Judge.
Plaintiff sought damages in the sum of $25,000 for personal injuries sustained when an automobile in which she was a guest collided with an automobile driven by defendant at the intersection of Sulphur Avenue, a north-south street, and Potomac Street, an east-west street, in the City of St. Louis. Trial of the case to a jury resulted in a verdict for defendant. She appealed from the ensuing judgment, assigning error in Instruction No. 3 given in behalf of defendant.
The collision occurred in a residential section of the city about 10 a. m., on January 7, 1961, a clear, dry day. Plaintiff was riding in the front seat of the automobile owned and operated northward on Sulphur Avenue by William Henry Brown. The automobile with which Mr. Brown's car collided was owned and operated eastward on Potomac Street by defendant. Both streets are 36 feet wide, paved and practically level at the intersection and on each side thereof. No traffic controls are posted at the intersection.
Plaintiff's testimony was that she did not see or sense the impending collision until it occurred.
According to Mr. Brown, aged 76 at trial time, he was driving 15 to 20 miles an hour as he drove northward on Sulphur to the intersection. When his car was 15 or 20 feet south of the intersection, he first saw defendant's car, eastbound on Potomac, then 50 or 75 feet west of the intersection. Mr. Brown "relaxed on the accelerator." But, as he "got a little further up", he noticed that defendant did not seem to be checking his speed, so he "slapped on the brakes" and veered slightly to his right. The left front end of his car came into contact with the right side of defendant's car, at its right front door. Mr. Brown further testified that his car had practically stopped when the collision occurred; that defendant's car was traveling about 35 miles an hour when he first saw it and that it did not noticeably slow prior to the collision.
According to defendant's evidence, he, when one half block west of the intersection, was driving at a speed of about 20 miles an hour, which he reduced to about 15 miles an hour when he was about 10 feet west of the intersection. At that point he looked to his right down Sulphur to see if anyone was coming. He could see south down Sulphur between 60 and 75 feet, saw nothing coming, "stepped on the pedal" and started across the intersection. When he was 3 or 4 feet from the east curbline of Sulphur and 3 or 4 feet from the south curbline of Potomac, "I got banged and that was it." He did not think that he ever looked to his right but the one time before he entered the intersection and that was when he was 10 feet west of it; and he did not see Mr. Brown's car as it came up to or entered the intersection, or during the time that he, defendant, traveled approximately 30 feet into it before his car was struck by the Brown car. On cross-examination, defendant said that before he "arrived at the corner [he] looked both ways" and did not see Mr. Brown coming.
Instruction No. 3, given in behalf of defendant, and of which plaintiff complains, reads as follows:
"The Court instructs the jury that if you believe and find from the evidence *408 that as defendant, Carl Hofmeister, drove his automobile eastwardly on Potomac Street and as he neared Sulphur Avenue, he looked in both directions but saw nothing approaching from his right, and if you further believe and find that he then continued across the intersection and when close to the east curb of Sulphur Avenue his automobile was struck in the side by an automobile operated by William Henry Brown, and if you further believe and find that the defendant, Carl Hoffmeister, was exercising the highest degree of care in keeping a lookout then, and in such event, plaintiff is not entitled to recover and you must find your verdict for the defendant." (Emphasis ours.)
The instruction hypothesizes three basic findings by the jury which, if by the jury found in the affirmative, it was required to return a verdict for defendant:
1. That as defendant "neared Sulphur Avenue" he looked in both directions and saw nothing approaching from his right;
2. That he then continued across the intersection and was struck by the Brown car near the east curbline of Sulphur; and
3. That he was exercising the highest degree of care in keeping a lookout then.
Does the third hypothesized finding refer only to the second hypothesized finding or does it refer to both the second and the first? We are inclined to the view that the jury would understand the instruction as written to declare that if, as defendant neared the intersection, he looked in both directions and saw nothing approaching from the right, the duty of defendant to exercise the highest degree of care in keeping a lookout arose only after he "continued across" the intersection, without having seen the Brown car as he neared the intersection. If the jury reasonably could so interpret the instruction, as we think it could, then it well may have returned a verdict for defendant based upon the mere finding that defendant "looked" in both directions as he neared Sulphur, however casual or nonvigilant that "look" may have been, and saw nothing approaching from his right, and the further finding that defendant thereupon continued across the intersection to the point of collision, only then exercising the highest degree of care in keeping a lookout. The true meaning of the instruction, as phrased, is calculated (without design, of course) to be confusing; even to a person with legal experience; certainly, it could be misleading to a lay jury.
Consideration of another phase of the instruction shows it to be clearly erroneous. By hypothesizing a finding that, as defendant "neared Sulphur Avenue, he looked in both directions but saw nothing approaching from his right", the instruction made defendant's conduct and the extent and result of his having "looked in both directions" and having seen "nothing approaching from his right" the standard of care required of motorists, irrespective of whether, in the exercise of the highest degree of care, he could and should have seen the approaching Brown car before entering the intersection in dangerous proximity to it.
The degree of care of a motorist upon the highway, as required by statute, § 304.010 RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S., imposes upon the operator of motor vehicles upon the streets and highways of this state the continuous duty to exercise the highest degree of care at all times and all places thereon to keep a lockout for persons thereon and in every other respect. Mayfield v. Kansas City Southern Ry. Co., 337 Mo. 79, 85 S.W.2d 116, 123-124[11-16]; Faught v. Washam, 365 Mo. 1021, 291 S.W.2d 78, 82[4]. To fulfill that duty, the motorist is required to look in such an observant manner as to enable him to see what a person in the highest degree of care for the safety of himself and others would be expected to see under similar circumstances. Chenoweth v. McBurney, 359 Mo. 890, 224 S.W.2d 114, 118[8]. "`Where one is charged with the duty to lock and to look is *409 to see, he must be held to have seen what looking would have revealed.'" Lilly v. Boswell, 362 Mo. 444, 242 S.W.2d 73, 76 [5-6]; Witt v. Peterson, Mo., 310 S.W.2d 857, 860[1-4]. There is nothing in the record to show that had defendant, in the exercise of the highest degree of care, continued at a speed of 15 miles an hour, which he was traveling when 10 feet west of the intersection, at which point he took his first and only look to the right, and thereafter again looked to his right immediately before or at the time of entering the intersection, he, in the exercise of the highest degree of care, could not have seen the Brown car in time to have avoided the collision. Yet, instruction No. 3 absolved defendant of negligence if he looked only once to the right as he "neared" the intersection; it failed to advise the jury that the highest degree of care required defendant not only to keep a lookout ahead and laterally for automobiles with which he might come into collision, but also to see and avoid collision with any automobile which, in the exercise of highest degree of care, he could have seen and avoided. It should also be here noted that the phrase "highest degree of care", as used in the statute, was not defined in any instruction given the jury.
Defendant's contention is that instruction No. 3 must be read in connection with all other instructions and particularly plaintiff's instruction No. 1, of which (defendant contends) instruction No. 3 is an affirmative converse; and that as a whole charge, the instructions are harmonious, clear and complete and do not constitute an erroneous charge.
Instruction No. 1, in material part as herein emphasized, reads: "* * * and if you further find that the defendant by the exercise of the highest degree of care in keeping a lookout ahead and to his right for northbound traffic on Sulphur Avenue could have discovered the automobile in which plaintiff was riding in time thereafter, by the exercise of the highest degree of care, to have avoided the collision described in evidence; if you so find, and if you further find that the defendant failed to keep such a lookout and that in so failing the defendant did not exercise the highest degree of care and was guilty of negligence, if you so find; and if you further find that such negligence directly and proximately caused said collision and injury to plaintiff then your verdict should be in favor of the plaintiff, * * *." The portion of instruction No. 1 above emphasized not only points up the erroneous and misleading phrasing of instruction No. 3, it sets forth an essential element of the exercise of the degree of care required of a motorist, thereby revealing one basic aspect wherein instruction No. 3 falls short of being a true converse of instruction No. 1. Thus instruction No. 3 is in irreconcilable conflict with plaintiff's unchallenged instruction No. 1.
Our conclusion is that instruction No. 3 was prejudicially erroneous.
The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
All the Judges of the Division and STONE, Special Judge, concur.

Review of Australian Opera warns against use of Government funds for 'commercial activities'
Arts / Entertainment / Finance / Venues /
A review of Australia's major opera companies says they should not use Federal Government funds to stage "major commercial activities" such as popular musicals, which have become a major source of income for the national company Opera Australia in recent years.
The 118 recommendations contained in the long awaited National Opera Review also suggest that Opera Queensland be given three years in which it can prove its viability as a member of the Australian Major Performing Arts Group (AMPAG) while the Victorian Opera should be supported to become an AMPAG member.
These changes are to be backed by a $24.136 million funding boost over four years for the major opera companies.
Initiated by opera-loving former Federal Arts Minister George Brandis in mid 2014, the National Opera Review Final Report, was released today (Tuesday 25th October) by Senator Brandis' successor Senator Mitch Fifield
The Review - conducted by National Portrait Gallery Chair Helen Nugent, Melbourne Recital Centre Chair Kathryn Fagg, performing arts producer Andrew McKinnon and former Opera Australia Artistic Director Moffatt Oxenbould - examined the artistic vibrancy, engagement with audiences, and financial positions of the four major opera companies: Opera Australia, Opera Queensland, State Opera of South Australia, and West Australian Opera.
The Final Report recommends greater collaboration between Australia's opera companies, and indicates that current programming models - especially those of Opera Australia and Opera Queensland - have resulted in declining audiences and reduced employment opportunities for artists.
However, it highlights that overall paid capital city attendances have increased by 37%, primarily because of Opera Australia's venture into presenting musicals and the annual Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour season.
To address declining audiences nationally, the report recommends that the variety, balance and scale of productions need to be enhanced and appropriate funding provided for that outcome.
The Report also suggests that funding bodies engage proactively with opera companies to address the significant increase of non-Australian artists in leading mainstage roles.
Another recommendation is greater support for the development of new Australian works; presenting works in association with festivals; and increasing the use of digital technology – with a $1.2 million Innovation Fund being created to provide support for such initiatives.
Restricting the use of government funding for Opera Australia musicals was a key conclusion of the Review, with the Final Report stating that it "recommends that significant commercial activities, such as Opera Australia's long-run musicals, should not be funded because there are viable independent commercial competitors in the market."
The Report then states "this is not to suggest that Opera Australia should not continue to stage musicals on a purely commercial basis", suggesting clearer guidelines on how Federal Government funding should be used, and consequences if those guidelines are not adhered to.
It adds "while the review supports the ... premise that each company should have the ability to define its own artistic and strategic direction in a prudent financial way, it also recommends that those activities funded by governments should be more specifically defined and that the companies should be penalised if agreed funded activities are not delivered."
However, Opera Australia Chief Executive Craig Hassall said the company has never used Federal Government funding for its musicals. Instead, it put some of the money it made from such shows towards its opera productions, particularly for less mainstream works.
Hassall stated "OA has never allocated government funding to musicals, never have, never will.
"They do not receive any portion of Government funding.
"Musicals are perfectly valid for opera companies to do. I don't understand why there's this apartheid between musicals and opera
"Our audiences love them. Musicals have been the number one choice of our subscribers for three years ... they make a profit, and that's very rare, and that goes straight into funding new operas."
While the review only applies to Australia's current major opera companies – Opera Australia, Opera Queensland, State Opera of South Australia and West Australian Opera – its recommendations could have wider implications for the 24 other major companies within Australia's wider performing arts industry.
A number of major theatre companies such as Melbourne Theatre Company (MTC) and Queensland Theatre Company have produced commercial musicals in recent years. The MTC co-presented the exclusive Australian season of West End and Broadway musical Once with John Frost in 2014/15, while QTC's Helpmann Award-winning Ladies In Black opened this year's MTC season.
Support for elevating Victorian Opera to major company status was among other key recommendations, although it qualifies that suggestion by stating it has not analysed the company's financial statements and performance data, and that the recommendation goes beyond the reviews terms of reference.
Victorian Opera Managing Director Andrew Snell said that while its was thrilling for the company to be included in the review, it could be the first step in a long road to becoming a major company.
The company, formed 11 years after after the Victorian State Opera merged with Opera Australia, has since developed a strong reputation for collaboration, commissioning new works and making use of new technology.
Snell said Victorian Opera had met all the criteria for major company status, bar being a recipient of Federal Government funding, which it had not received for six years (although that is set to change in 2017, with the Australian Council allocating four-year funding to the company).
The report also puts Opera Queensland on notice in terms of maintaining its major company status, first raised in a discussion paper during earlier stages of the review, stating "the company has, for some time, been in breach of the criteria to retain such a status.
"This issue was raised by multiple stakeholders during the course of the review.
"On balance, and after significant discussion with key stakeholders, the review recommends that Opera Queensland be given three years from the time of the implementation of the review's recommendations to meet all major performing arts criteria that exist under the current framework.
"It should be supported to do so, provided in the meantime it makes serious efforts to increase private sector support and to reduce its overheads, which are significantly higher on a benchmarked basis than comparable companies."
It also suggests that Opera Queensland explore sharing services with Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

Roberto Mignone's Top Stock Picks
Published on February 21, 2012 at 12:32 pm by Meena Krishnamsetty in Hedge Funds
Roberto Mignone established Bridger Management in July 2000, right before he turned 29 years old. Prior to that, Mignone co-founded Blue Ridge Capital with John Griffin in 1996 and worked at Julian Robertson's Tiger Management LLC. Mignone's strategy is to focus on a few positions and monitor them carefully. Mignone's core positions include about 30 long positions, which are each limited to 5% of the portfolio initially and never get larger than 10%.
Mignone recently released the latest holdings of his Bridger Management in a 13F filing. Let's take a closer look at the most bullish bets and decide whether investors should imitate these stock picks.
Google Inc (GOOG): GOOG is the largest position in Mignone's latest portfolio. At the end of last year, Bridger Management reported to own $122 million worth of GOOG shares. GOOG is a popular stock among hedge funds tracked by us. There were 96 hedge funds in total with GOOG positions in their 13F portfolios at the end of the third quarter last year. For example, two other tiger cubs, Chase Coleman and Stephen Mandel, were also bullish about GOOG. Coleman's Tiger Global Management and Mandel's Lone Pine Capital both had about $500 million invested in this stock. Ken Fisher and John Griffin were also in favor of GOOG.
We agree with these hedge fund managers. Google has been expanding in multiple areas, including social media and display advertising. It also has robust revenue growth, expanding profit margins, and reasonable valuation levels. GOOG looks undervalued compared with its peers. The main competitors of GOOG are Yahoo Inc (YHOO) and AOL Inc (AOL). GOOG's forward P/E ratio is 12.09 and it is expected to grow at an average of 18.75% annually in the next five years. This means that GOOG's 2014 P/E ratio is 8.6, versus 12.5 for YHOO and 19.96 for AOL.
GOOG is not alone among tech giants with low valuations. For example, Apple Inc (AAPL) is also trading at attractive multiples. AAPL is also a large position in Mignone's portfolio. As of December 31, 2011, Bridger Management had $77 million invested in AAPL shares. AAPL is also very popular among hedge funds. At the end of September, there were 125 hedge funds disclosed owning AAPL in their 13F portfolios. Tiger Cub Stephen Mandel was bullish about AAPL as well. Other big names include David Einhorn, John Griffin, Andreas Halvorsen, and Jim Simons.
We like AAPL as well. It has a forward P/E ratio of 10.58 and it is expected to grow at 18.76% on the average over the next five years, which indicates that its 2014 P/E ratio is only 7.50. Investors value utility stocks at about 13-14 times their earnings, while tech stocks with much higher growth rates are valued at almost half of these multiples. Hedge funds noticed this opportunity and enjoyed strong gains from AAPL last year. The stock returned over 38% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming the S&P 500 index by more than 34 percentage points. We think it is not too late to buy AAPL. We believe it will continue to be a winner in the future.
A few other large positions in Mignone's portfolio include United Rentals Inc (URI), Directv Group Inc (DTV), and Morgan Stanley (MS). All three stocks are trading at low multiples and have double-digit expected growth rates. MS has a forward P/E ratio of 8.12 and is expected to grow at over 10% annually in the next five years. So its P/E ratio for 2014 is about 6.7. MS' major competitor, Goldman Sachs & Co (GS), also has a low 2014 P/E ratio of about 7.0. We like MS. Its management team is taking steps to further lower the risk of the company's business. MS is quite popular among hedge funds too. There were 38 hedge funds with MS positions at the end of September. Besides Mignone, Eric Mindich was also bullish about MS. His Eton Park Captial had over $300 million invested in this stock.
Overall we like Mignone's stock picks. We especially like his bets on attractively valued tech giants. We see great potential in these tech stocks with low valuations.
