TCW and AllianceBernstein are now buying bank bonds.
“It’s understood now that decisions such as letting Lehman Brothers file for bankruptcy are so dangerous and detrimental to an economy,” said Tad Rivelle, chief investment officer for Metropolitan West Asset Management LLC and a manager of TCW funds, where he helps oversee $55 billion. He’s buying senior and subordinated debt securities of the largest financial firms because a failure is “unlikely to be repeated.”

What's your take on the casinos?
Still holding MGM Feb 10s. Nervous.
Macau revenue was up 63% in January. Weakness today probably because they were strong yesterday, and the ISM had casinos spending down by 5.8% (hotels were down by 4.6%)
I think the ISM report got some more coverage and maybe that's what is weighing on things today
Palmoni Your bear friends seem to have disappeared!
On MGM--forgot to mention--they have increased share in Macau--supposedly because of rebates--but MGM will be doing an IPO --so increase share--on Citi's research will post later
will the IPO help the stock here?
yes!
Check out X!!!
That name is ready to rumble!
X is already rumbling...kicking myself b/c i was watching it at $44 on friday.
how mcuh higher can X go?
does the MGM IPO in Macau delever the balance sheet a little for the shares here in the US?
At least then we'll have a valuation of MGM Macau--and yes, it will help!
