ParticipantInteresting ideas, rocky.
I know you don’t like buying puts on lenders, but what about CFC? What about BSC for that matter?
Where does all the mortgage fraud money wind up? The loss of the big financial houses is ultimately some little guy’s gain, right?
ParticipantLet us confess that we are all a little greedy sometimes, that is what drives many of us to succeed and become wealthy.
I don’t have a problem with a desire to make money, but I have a real issue with being escorted to the cleaners. If the investors in this scheme were in fact defrauded, I wish them the best in their recovery efforts. Nonetheless, an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure, if not more.

How are Carmel Valley and the North County Costal area holding up?ParticipantFIG has lost big time since its IPO in Feb, so who knows? I don’t have a real good feel for either the bull or the bear case for a private equity public offering. It does seem a little weird though … what’s the point of private equity if the company goes public?

ParticipantIt is hard to believe an openly devout Christian would engage in scurrilous financial behavior. Using religion to bilk people out of their earnings — inconceivable!

ParticipantBlackstone is the best of the best, so it might make sense to invest with them. Another IPO boom would certainly increase my vigiliance with respect to a market “top”, though.

Participantcaly – if your company has a strong balance sheet,I’d hold on to the options. If not, it’s your call.
jg- I’m back in, but diametrically opposed to your investments. It seems our wagers now involve far more than a single beer.

Participant1) Interest rates are low, historically speaking.
2) The world economy is unbelievably strong. World consumers may very well be keeping the US economy afloat, through US exports.
I don’t see a slump in US consumption (which would be mitigated by rising US incomes,) causing a global downturn. Now maybe global growth rates might slow, although I have no idea how to quantify the reduction. But a downturn? It seems we are a very great ways from that possibility.
I admit I may be associating too much with the term “downturn”. If by “downturn” you mean “undetermined reduction in growth”, then I retract the previous objection. But if you mean “recession” or the like, then I cannot agree, at least at this time.
