Silver Linings in Blackstone Group

Nice analysis! I am in it for the long haul and this updated analysis makes my investment in Blackstone more comfortable in these troubled times. I will keep my holdings and some day BX maybe in the $200 per share range and then I will sell it! Retire!

Jeff Immelt Buys 50,000 GE Shares: Whoop-Dee-Doo

50,000 shares is not much for Immelt! He makes like $3 million plus a year, not including bonuses. I be impress if he threw in and purchased like $6 million dollars worth; now at around 1,000,000 shares. That would be a statement!

Too Big to Bail: Lehman Brothers Is the Model for Fixing the Zombie Banks

Ditto that below:

Christopher Whalen, you are a stupid and dangerous idiot. Lehman wasn't a model of what to do in a disaster of this nature. Lehman was a disaster which helped create the present crisis. If your solutions were implemented it would go a long way to destroy the American way of life. Do you think the foreign investors will sit idly by and passively accept that their investments will be wiped out? Not on your life, there will be a giant whooshing sound heard throughout America as money is withdrawn by foreigners and invested elsewhere outside the purview of American control. And who in government is qualified to run C and BAC if they are nationalized? Answer: Nobody! Unless of course the government hires Lewis on contract to run the show, if he is willing that is. Idiots like you should stop publishing your drivel. You add to the crisis and do nothing to help resolve it. You are an enemy of America, not a patriot.

Any unkind words above ditto that too. Mr. Whalen you are just simpleton!

What's Wrong with the AIG Bailout Model?

Please explain to me why it is to the benefit of the federal government that shareholder be severely punished for being shareholders in AIG?

"Still, I think it's a lot better than silently and opaquely recapitalizing firms without replacing management or forcing at least shareholders to take a hit."

A 80% hit and a payday loan at that!

I think Paulson has some unresolve feels regarding AIG to set it up as he did; while Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs got the sweetest deal by the Fed turn it into a bank holding company! Where is the "hit" to those shareholders?

JPMorgan's Actions Indicate Bear Was a Bargain

I glad you think it such a steal! The JPM stock has fallen after the testimony. It reach a high of $47 and change and now it is at $45 and change. I don't know if it is because of arbitrage or what! But it not going up and the percentage of short sellers is also up.

I just wonder if JPM made a good purchase after all; since the stock price doe not reflect this at all!

Does anyone know why this stock did not go up when JPM finally got 49.4% of the Bear Stern shares or is the market waiting for it to close and then JPM will be in the upswing?

Thanks.

Blackstone's A Bargain

I too would like to know why it is a bargain!

I already own 3K of BX and would like to have some reassurance for my position! I don't know if there is an Mr. Blackstone, however. The Chairman and CEO is a guy name Stephen A. Schwarzman. There is an article by an associate of yours that has a somewhat negative view of Mr. Schwarzman, shown below:
