Varian Joins the S&P 500

Congratulations to Varian Medical Systems (VAR) for its inclusion in the S&P 500. This is Wall Street’s equivalent of being a “made man.” The opening was made thanks to Blackstone’s acquistion of Equity Office.
Also, Joe Bank (JOSB) just raised its forecast for this year to $2.25 a share from its earlier estimate of $2.15.
Finally, Harley (HOG) said it will miss Q1 shipment targets due to the strike.
