Now it might seem strange to buy one of the few stocks "up" in a bad open, but since my timeline is longer than 48 hours (most people buying the damaged stocks will "flip" them out in a few hours and are just daytraders at this point), I think this is now a huge positive and Blackrock can continue it's business of being a dominant financial. I would not be surprised to see the government giving it much of Lehman's balance sheet to liquidate as it has been doing with Bear Stearns.
I'm upping the stake from 0.6% to 1.2%
Long Blackrock in fund; no personal position
