What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters reports McKesson and the firm CD&R will take infusion therapy provider Option Care private in a five point eight billion dollar deal.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us by satellite is Thaddeus Pemberton-Okafor.

  3. Thaddeus Pemberton-OkaforHank, thrilled to be here. Sorry about the audio.

  4. Thaddeus Pemberton-OkaforI'm on the sun deck and my sommelier is also on the sun deck, doing a tasting.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMr. Pemberton-Okafor, you run a hedge fund that is short everything. Is a five point eight billion dollar healthcare buyout a good sign?

  6. Thaddeus Pemberton-OkaforI'm short the buyers, short the seller, and short the concept of Tuesday. Honestly, I'm short on shorts. This yacht has no laundry.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters calls it major consolidation in infusion therapy. Do you think that's a bubble, or are you just against everything?

  8. Thaddeus Pemberton-OkaforBoth, Hank. I shorted my own wedding. I bet against the cake and I won. We're now both very rich and very alone.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is a lot of information about your cake. Have you at least shorted this deal, or is that where the wine ends?

  10. Thaddeus Pemberton-OkaforHank, I can't say. My lawyer is waving at me from a dinghy. He's also very short. Of height. Anyway, the water is rising.
