The Luncheon Keynote with John Paulson Here's a selection of the best tweets as John Paulson, founder and managing partner of Paulson & Co., is interviewed by Carl Quintanilla, co-anchor of CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street.'

12:20pm So far the abuse of the Best Ideas panel rules has been flagrant: ideas delivered outside of the panel, presentations longer than six minutes, multiple slides ... but that just means more investing information. The latest breach of the rules comes from Mark Kingdon, who slips in another idea:
— II Magazine (@iimag) July 17, 2013Mark Kingdon's pick in #Pharma : Aegerion Pharmaceuticals #Juxtapid #DeliveringAlpha
12:15pm And the detail-oriented Michael Peltz has another keen-eyed observation:
— Michael Peltz (@mppeltz) July 17, 2013Like Hohn, Mark Kingdon's has just three company names on his slide, but no contact info. His funds must be closed. #DeliveringAlpha

— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Mark Kingdon sees Japanese automakers as "the prime beneficiaries of Abenomics."
— II Magazine (@iimag) July 17, 2013Mark Kingdon's #Japan picks: Mazada, Subaru, Toyota #DeliveringAlpha
11:59am What's that? You think that Chris Hohn's Best Idea was given less attention than Leon Cooperman's? Explanation:
— Michael Peltz (@mppeltz) July 17, 2013Not much verbiage on Chris Hohn's one slide for #DeliveringAlpha , apart from the names of his 3 picks and contact details for TCI.
11:59am For Chris Hohn, founder, managing partner and portfolio manager of The Children's Investment Fund Management, his three best ideas can be one tweet:
— II Magazine (@iimag) July 17, 2013Chris Hohn's best ideas: EADS (Airbus), Porsche, Aurizon #DeliveringAlpha
11:55am: So which stocks does Cooperman favor?
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013Cooperman likes express scripts, Qualcomm and Thermo Fischer Scientific for growth #DeliveringAlpha
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013Cooperman: likes qualcorp as and sandridge energy as turnaround stories #DeliveringAlpha
— Ben Baris (@bbaris8) July 17, 2013Cooperman's picks: Express Scripts, Qualcomm, Thermo Fisher, Sandridge among others. $ESRX & $QCOM were picked last year. #DeliveringAlpha
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013More Cooperman picks: thl credit kkr financial atlas financial chimera and arbor realty #DeliveringAlpha
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013More Cooperman picks: thl credit kkr financial atlas financial chimera and arbor realty #DeliveringAlpha

— Imogen Rose-Smith (@ImogenNYC) July 17, 2013First up Cooperman he has something like 562 stock picks for the audience at #DeliveryingAlpha so we may be here some time.
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013Cooperman: doing victory lap on his prescient calls last year #DeliveringAlpha
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Cooperman sees the market "in a zone of fair valuation."
— Ben Baris (@bbaris8) July 17, 2013Cooperman is "less ebullient" than last year, but that doesn't mean he isn't touting equities this year at #DeliveringAlpha
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013Cooperman: equity returns will be less than they have been historically. Market may correct or go sideways for awhile. #DeliveringAlpha
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Cooperman sees another 5-10% in S&P over coming year. "You need a recession to induce a bad market," and we dont' see one.
11:41am This tweet speaks for itself. Unfortunately.
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013What keeps Leon Cooperman up at night? His prostate. #tmi #DeliveringAlpha
11:40am It's nearly here! The Best Ideas panel!
— Ben Baris (@bbaris8) July 17, 2013My New Best Idea panel is next up: Chris Hohn, Mark Kingdon, Lee Cooperman & Jim Chanos. #DeliveringAlpha #GameTime
11:35am It's not the Best Ideas panel yet, but our Great Rotation panellists have some good ideas nonetheless.
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Best ideas: Spokes - European credit. Not distressed, but replacing "what healthier banks would have been doing."
— Michael Peltz (@mppeltz) July 17, 2013Josh Friedman's best idea: Ambac #DeliveringAlpha
— Amanda Cantrell (@amandakcantrell) July 17, 2013Hintze: likes B/ Bb space. What worries me is the focus on what central bankers say. #DeliveringAlpha
11:30am Everyone's talking rates lately. Here's what our panel thinks:
— Michael Peltz (@mppeltz) July 17, 2013Farallon's Andrew Spokes says it's impossible to make a living trying to time interest rate moves. #DeliveringAlpha
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Fleming on higher rates: "The genie's out of the bottle, and the genie won't go back in the bottle."
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Fleming worries about US rate normalization. "I'm not sure investors or the economy at large are really ready for that."
11:20am: Two years in a row at Delivering Alpha, Leon Cooperman described equities as "the best house in the neighborhood." It comes as no surprise, then, that he'd find it difficult to resist the Great Rotation panel.
— II Magazine (@iimag) July 17, 2013L. Cooperman giving his take on why government bonds are not the way to go #DeliveringAlpha pic.twitter.com/A0H8tZyxXO
Tom Buerkle, for one, is fine with this.
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Lee Cooperman hijacks the great rotation panel at #DeliveringAlpha . No one's complaining.
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Cooperman sees "almost sure capital loss" in bonds over 3 years. "I would rather take my chances with equities." Seems everyone is on board
11:00am: Coming up, the Great Rotation panel, with Gregory J. Fleming, president of Morgan Stanley Investment Management; Joshua S. Friedman, co-founder, co-chairman and co-Chief Executive Officer of Canyon Partners; Michael Hintze, founder and Chief Executive Officer of CQS; and Andrew J.M. Spokes, managing partner of Farallon Capital Management.
10:30am: A lot of love for Preet Bharara in the room, but you can always count on Tom Buerkle to cut through the sentiment and get to the point.
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Bharara is entertaining, but not particularly informative. But then, if he had the subpoenas, we'd know by now.
10:10am: Bharara allows for the nuances of insider trading ...
— Michael Peltz (@mppeltz) July 17, 2013Preet Bharara says some of the people at hedge fund firms have done good homework but cheated too. #DeliveringAlpha
— Ben Baris (@bbaris8) July 17, 20131st baseball reference, Bharara brings up the steroid era: It doesn't mean they aren't great athletes, but they cheated.. #DeliveringAlpha
... but ultimately:
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013BHarara compares insider traders to steroid dopers. "You're not allowed to cheat, not matter how good you are."
10:00am: Preet Bharara has a seemingly endless stock of very polite threats:
— II Magazine (@iimag) July 17, 2013US Attorney Bharara: Nobody should feel comfortable with any communication tool they are using #wiretapping #DeliveringAlpha
— II Magazine (@iimag) July 17, 2013"People should be afraid that their bad acts will catch up to them" - Preet Bharara #DeliveringAlpha

— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Preet says people haven't realized the long time period Fed's have to bring conspiracy charges. Wonder who he's thinking of?
While Bharara recommends that you don't ....
— Frances Denmark (@FrancesDenmark) July 17, 2013Preet Bahara US attorney: a lot of people think they know what's up our sleeve when they don't. #DeliveringAlpha @iimag @CNBC
9:45: As the Sheriff of Wall Street takes to the stage, it's worth remembering his joke last year about bringing enough subpoenas for the audience. At least, we think it was a joke. Either way, Editor Mike Peltz is hoping Preet Bharara brought enough this year.
— Michael Peltz (@mppeltz) July 17, 2013“ @tombuerkle : The Feds are in the room. Looking forward to Preet Bharara's encore performance at #DeliveringAlpha ” Hope he brings subpoenas
— II Magazine (@iimag) July 17, 2013US Attorney Preet Bharara w/ Jim Cramer https://t.co/F1xNYFGpDD
9:25am: In no way surprising that the 'Global Stage' panel involved much talk of China. See the tweets for a flavor of the discussion:
— Tom Buerkle (@tombuerkle) July 17, 2013Perry: hard to have positions "in" China; build exposure "to" China through other markets, such as commodities.
