"McKesson Corporation (NYSE:MCK), the drug distributor (up 15.4%), released a decent set of results which included management again upgrading its guidance. From the immediate share price reaction together with its subsequent performance we surmise the market’s concerns we spoke of in last quarter’s report have now abated. The new guidance is a little above our view of its maintainable earnings, but we saw no need to change our analysis. With our buying last quarter, it had become the Fund’s largest position until we sold a little in December to now hold 6.3%."
