Today's joke: this came via a John Kemp tweet -- OPEC and non-OPEC promise to try harder to reduce exports and cut excess global inventories (wink, wink).
Halliburton beats forecasts; 23 cents vs 19 cents forecast.
Payday! KKR to pay $66.50 / share for WebMD; $2.8 billion deal.

Did anyone even watch the final stage of the bicycle race in France?
The Jordan Spieth highlights winning The Open were simply incredible -- the birdies and the eagle on the last five holes. The Wall Street Journal view.
And, of course, the NASCAR race at Indianapolis -- all six hours of it -- was the frosting on the cake, won by Kasey Kahne, taking on Keselowski ("Pat, I'd like to buy a 'k'.") mano a mano and winning. The big race: to beat the setting sun -- Indianapolis has no lights; cannot race at night.
