Sept 09: Pair Trade
BUY BX
SELL BCS
Judging by the movement of assets in their balance sheets over the past 4 years, it appears BX has a smaller ratio of junk compared to BCS and as a result has much better prospects for expansion the next 5 years compared to BCS. The macroeconomic climate also leads me to believe that BCS carries alot more mispriced junk assets.

Newly trade stock great company that is growing at a fast pace.

I just read an article in wsj about the government giving bx some of the toxic assets from the banks. Good news for this stock.
I liked them before the credit meltdown but realized their business model depends on the access to cheap money to finance their take overs.
Bx at $10 and change is a good buy for a mid to long term play.
Recs
BX is sitting on a lot of cash and should be able to take advantage of the property buy ack programs.

I have owned since around $5.00. They are well positioned with their investments. IF you believe the world is going to end in a total cataclysm than stay away.

As with many IPO's BX went down. The mortgage & derivative mess has pummeled the stock. BX has long history of making money before it's IPO & many of same people still work there. BX cash position & debt/equity (0.11) ratio is very good compared to many of it's competitors.
In the current credit mess a smart company with money can cherry pick making good long term plays that will payoff handsomely in a couple of years.
I see possibility of another downturn in stock price as market continues to gyrate. But long term (3 to 5 years) this stock will outperform.
Debt equity ratio 0.11
leverage ratio 2.6 vs industry 5.1
Book value 12.85

This is an offsetting long position on other FIRE short picks.
This long was picked due to its relative strength in valuation, and strong future dividend potential.
After individually screening for companies appearing overvalued due to Balance sheet expansion, it yielded the following stocks to short:
EVR NTRS PRSP JEF LAZ FIS RJF
For the heavy shorting within the FIRE sector as part of the above picks, I will offset them with the following longs relating to FIRE companies:
LONG on BX CVBF UTR
This will be the primary focus of this profile, to seek & obtain alpha from long/short dividend opportunities across various industries.

These guys know what they are doing. Just take a look at their own IPO! It couldn't have been more spot on.
At todays valuation you get a lot of value

Have a ton of cash available to start buying assets at 1982 prices!

I think these guys are sitting on a bunch of money waiting for the right bargain to invest in. I opened a very small position at what appears to be a bargain basement price, and will wait for the economic tide to turn. I think they are beat down for the moment, but are showing some potential to move up in the short term.

I Owe! I Owe! It's straight down the toilet I go!
If a Bonesman is running this company, then you know all their money is going to disappear without a trace.
I hear Bonesmen also like to rob graves! I guess G.W. Bush's grandfather "Pescott Bu sh" was an excellent grave robber and even stole Geronimo's skull !!!!! The Sick S.O.B.!!!!!
These are the kind of people we elect to run our country!
Hell Yeah....Stealing from the DEAD is like taking candy from babies....kind of like the stockmarket.
