    It manages in Chicago...regrade the lip to the driveway (if you need to) and you're fine. :D

    Does anybody own a ferrari?

    Ground clearance isn't a problem, the Murcielago's front end raises at the push of a button. :D

    Does anybody own a ferrari?

    It's game on when the doors go up on the Murcielago. That is the sole reason to pass on the Gallardo/F430. The scissor doors are unmistakeable and women are NOT afraid to approach you in this car...maybe that behavior is isolated to Chicago women only?!? The flip-side is that every tom...

    Where does "Private Equity" get the money to do these huge buyouts?

    A private equity firm tends to purchase a going concern or something of value. In other words, they don't have to keep buying/selling entities to make money, they purchase a business that generates cash flow from it's business function. Not all PE teams are created equal...it's up to the...

    Blocked Shorting

    I know of at least one large regional b/d with $350 billion + under management whose electronic order system went down on February 27th. I guess it caused a lot of problems as the brokers weren't readily familiar with entering paper orders! haha... :D

    The Coming Bear Trap

    I will be on the other side of your trade. Yay for liquidity! When they are unloading the companies to the market again with blockbuster earnings I will be positioning defensively. If Blackstone was IPOing 70% of their equity instead of 10% I would sing a different song. :D

    Staying Long anyone?

    Has it ever occured to all the bears that we have more assets in hedge funds than ever? What does that mean you ask? It means there is plenty of dumb money going short right now complaining about the ~1,000 days since we had a 2% decline and trying to pick the top. It means that all those...

    SUNW and KKR

    They purchased convertibles...For you longs, hopefully they don't go short and convert to cover! But that would be more Citadel style and Sun appears to have better footing right now. :D

    Shifting Bubbles: What Will The Next Bubble Be?

    Bingo...it's already a huge bubble and the banks are loving it! That money needs to be mobilized and made productive, but I believe the current inflationary confiscation strategy is the wrong answer. As long as cash is sitting on the banks' books they will lend it away. While I believe the...

    YM up 73.....why?

    I think the reits idea is out of the bag though...time for a breather in this sector. Prices are up, yields are down and we had another banner year for them in 2006. Just my thoughts, take it FWIW...bulls can run for a while. :D
