Those 59% who voluntarily tendered are looking pretty stupid right now - best to be a hold-out in any "too big too fail" company that the gov't views to be critical. The PIMCOs and others who held out are now financially ahead.
So any chance that the gov't would require Cerberus to contribute, at least some some, to the bailout? notta.
Fortress Investment Group: Depressed and Misunderstood [View article]
Let's see an update on Fortress.
>>While FIG shares will certainly have their share of volatility over the next year, I believe the current price allows for an attractive spot to initiate positions and I would get even more constructive if the stock were able to break above its $18.50 IPO price with strong volume. The short-term picture has a few questions to be answered, but the long-term future for the company appears to be bright.<<
I also didn't understand the ramifications, as the previous commentator mentions.
>>Could you elaborate on your comments regarding "nationalization&.... of the deep water findings. If what you said were to happened what do you think the impact would be to PBR (and to lesser extent EWZ) shareholders? <<

>>Currently, the stock is trading at a multiple too high compared to their earnings and at almost 20 times book value. <<
20X book value does sound high, until you discover that their book value is based on land values from pre-1900 days, and were not viewed to be of significance for a determination. Accordingly, book value on this company has absolutely no significance. Russell, please correct me if you think otherwise.
Apple Gets Top Marks in Customer Satisfaction [View article]
I'm another satisfied customer, having bought 2 MACs (for my daughters) and IPod Touch. Awesome! Comparing a PC to a MAC is like comparing a Buick to a BMW.
Apple: Great Company with Lofty Valuation - Due for Pullback [View article]
>> The exercise of options creates three negatives (1) More shares are added to the supply (2) the added shares cause earnings dilution. (3) the company incurs payroll taxes on the gain that the employee realizes.<<
Payroll taxes? Get in the ball game. What about the huge tax deduction that the company gets with no cash outlay! The in-the-money element is a tax deduction to the company (and compensation to the employee).
I think that you're grasping at straws to put an unnecessary spin on AAPL. By the way, if AAPL can dent RIMM (and I think that they can jackhammer them within 3 years), what will this do to their earnings?
Citi: Sirius XM Is “Massively Undervalued” [View article]
If Apple would buy out SIRI, what a combination. Apple's leadership could turn this into a blockbuster. Having said that, I see no indication of Apple interest in SIRI.
Is this just a pie-in-the wish to save your underwater investment?
Early Morning Tidbits: Google, RIMM [View article]
RIMM - this AM was a good opp to sell some more shares - thanks for the premarket puff. I think that we'll see $100-105 by the end of July. If Apple has a good launch of its new phone, this will really put the dampers on RIMM.
CIT Group: From 'Near Death' to 'Critical' [View article]
The aggregate amount financed at any one time during the first ten (10) years of the Facility will not exceed $3 billion, with such amount to be reduced by $300 million per year for each of the following ten years (the "Maximum Facility Amount").
