Why not get in after a 30% run up? Kind of the theme of this site :) Keeping my Blackstone green thumb too.

Competency in Fund Management is becoming more and more important to investors. FIG has a proven track record.

Fortress Investment Group, like many financials have gone the way of their peers and are issuing shares. Similar to the federal goverment issuing money. While dilution is sometimes bad, we are in opportune times where paying off debt and investing in distressed assets (their core business) should win out in the end. Three days in a row CNBC's Guy Adami pitched Fortress as his buy. Each evening/morning Fortress popped and dropped until a good number of shares traded hands between $5.50 and $7.00. Normally a CNBC pick/push would cause me to respond with a red thumb, but it did help to set new resistance. The new stock is to be issued at $5 per share. So while Fortress has some cracks in their walls, this well respected firm should have no trouble finding some distressed assets to invest in and start to recover, (someday/some year/some decade).

Fotress will convince a bunch of investors that this plan has a lot of upside and very little downside.
Raise $50b.
Collect 2% mgmt fee ( = $1B). Then who cares what happens to the assets.
FIG managers can retire comfortably.
They just made an easy $1B.
If FIG investors end up losing money, blame the government.

In december they only reported losing the management of $5.5 billion dollars which was not as bad as expected. There is confidence here and at $2.00, there isn't much risk.

risky i know, but with large chunks of its debt refinanced and some interesting holdings including railroads i like this stock. Also i feel a lot of money will flow into AI in 2009 and although the stock has been killed it is still held in high regards in the industry so may attract a fair amount of cash.

Down beaten and way over-sold.
A 50% pop in 6mths...75% in 9...100% in 1yr!

These area very, very smart people. They have a healthy capitalization level, and access to some very cheap debt in some of their funds -- that does not have mark-to-market requirements. As the markets continue to deleverage this stock (and their industry) could feel more pain, however, the company is very unlikely to fail and the investments that they make in the net 3-6 quarters will prove to be incredibly profitable.

Heavily oversold. Sufficiently nimble to have ample opportunities amidst the chaos. Juicy dividend yield provides cushions against further falls.

FIG doesn't have the cash to pay the bills.

Got to go with another bottom liner and hope it gets the reboost it needs to make my investment pay off big. This stock looks like it is dead news and should probably go with it underperforming but I am going to try going against the odds and hope to win big here.
