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.

Massively overvalued hedge fund. Trading at approximately 30x earnings, which leaves little room for error. They are paid on % of assets and % of gains. When gains disappear(everyone loses every once in a while), investors bail, profits dry up, and the stock tanks. No track record to justify their price.

FIG has been beaten up along with all the other financials, despite having zero exposure to the mortgage CDOs. I think that in comparison to big banks and brokers, FIG took a bigger beating than it deserved. Upside: Dividend yield makes this attractive as an income stock at this point, with a potential for significant growth after the financial markets settle. Downside: To pay the dividend, the company needs to continue both earning fees on assets under management (that's low volatility) and making profits on private equity investments (much more lumpy). It's in the latter area where they could run into trouble.

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.

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

Similar goals and similar results as BX for rest of quarter and the year. Possible $15-20 stock price by end of the year, for a 35-80% increase from current price of $11.27/sh.

The stock has been so beaten down that an uptick is pending. The merger talks with bear sterns can give it more fillip.

This is at a 52 week low.
I called underperform on this when it IPO, but it is now cheap enough that I am calling outperform.
