    Samsung.

    2nd pic's the reference to The Galaxy tab. Don't care about the others.

    Theme is companies named after rivers.
    Hudson's bay and isuzu. Hence your liquidity title.

    This Samsung's the red herring.

    I was so enthu about the liquidity theme. Thought it would be all nice and Commerce-y. Chae.
