(NYSE: UNH) valued at about $134 million; and 1.93 million shares of Wellpoint Inc. (NYSE: WLP) valued at $123 million.

Greenlight shed all its holdings in Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) and Research In Motion Ltd. (NASDAQ: RIMM), while adding calls on 5 million shares of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT).
