In terms of sales, we sold our remaining shares of Linde, AT&T (T), Genuine Parts (GPC) and Coca-Cola (KO), all of which had performed well, meeting our intrinsic value targets. We also sold our remaining shares of Mediaset SpA, which had been a disappointment in the wake of continued eurozone instability and economic malaise in Southern Europe. We continued to reduce our positions in the Mexican coca cola bottlers, Arca Continental and Coca-Cola Femsa, and trimmed our positions in Henkel, Kone, Philip Morris International, Diageo, Wal-Mart, and Kimberly Clark, among others as these companies' equity prices approached intrinsic value, and more attractively priced alternatives became available.
