Citadel Takes Trinity Industries Stake
Friday January 18, 10:04 am ET
Citadel Investment Group Reports 7 Percent Passive Stake in Trinity Industries

NEW YORK (AP) -- Hedge fund Citadel Investment Group LLC on Friday reported owning a 7 percent passive stake in Trinity Industries Inc., which owns construction, transportation and energy service groups.

Citadel beneficially owns 5.6 million shares, or a 7 percent stake based on 81.5 million shares outstanding as of Oct. 26, it said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Citadel disclosed its stake in the Dallas-based company in a Schedule 13G filing, which indicates the investment is passive, and the shares were not acquired to change or influence control of the company.

What do you think of BW which is another Gendell holding. It looks very cheap.


Quote from $CostAverageMAN:

J. Gendell info anyone....

You know I'm always watching this man and his fund...


BTW the PCR (Perini Corp) purchase was another no brainer....Like Deutsche Bank was going to get stuck with a half finished building in Las Vegas...And if you were watching the stock on the open yesterday It opened down even after the news broke that it was going to get paid for.....

Perfect swing trade that I'm still very long....It was nice to see Gendell playing it with me.....

Hey $Cost - I'm glad to see this thread given some life ... I keep it in my bookmarks and check now and then :)

I dunno about everyone else but how about a day when the market only goes up or down 1% ?

The market goes up ~10% a year on average and yesterday there was a 10% swing in the XLF...
 
Yeah, I'm using TWM also, but I am not enamored of the way it trades... funny stuff. Be cautious with your levels and allow for some slippage as I almost missed $5 of profits because of the old "oh yeah, it didn't trade there. It printed, but it didn't trade there" garbage.

I may start doing SH instead or one of the other single short ETF's - more capital but perhaps better tracking. Need to analyze that.
 
If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you

would have $49.00 left.


With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.


With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.


But, if you had purchased $1,000..00 worth of beer, one year ago, drank

all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling

REFUND, you would have had 214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink

heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg.

THOUGHT you guys would enjoy this strategy considering where we're heading!!!!!

GL and HF .....Hey price of aluminum is on the rise
