Great time to start loading up for the next upleg IMO.
I should buy some of those - how much are they?
Yep - I think that sounds reasonable.
BR549 hearing good news ahead...
Looks like UBS will make an announcement next week to where we come out in tact - no bidders needed south of $43...IMO
Check out all the chatter on the yahoo message board as well...
Remember when the Disney news came out and it was around .19 - .20? It soon tanked back down to around .11. .11 was a great buying opportunity; however, don't think many were screaming to get in at that point.
I see this as a great buying opportunity for those needing more shares.
Also, if for instance, Disney told Stan not to make the announcements, Disney could be loading up during this shake out...IMO
When enough loose hands have fallen, and the big investors have loaded up, then the announcements may be made...I'm not selling, but rather loading up a bit more.
Yep - thanks. I did not sell, as, with a chess match, the game can end surprisingly fast. I feel extremely confident that we will be near the $50 to $60 range in 5 to 10 years, that is what I am holding for - and the dividend will also increase back up to .5, so, what is there to lose?
I remember when this sank back to the 9's, man, I wish I had loaded up then. I believe that I will be wishing I had loaded up now when this is in the 20's.
GLTU
I, for one, am pleased with what he did reveal. Some type of an arena event that will be the best in the world...sandwiched between disney and marvel...that he cannot tell of certain upcoming reports as he is limited on what he can tell.
Stan is bound by big corporate entities that require that they get to tell the news to the world - that is one of their perks. I would prefer it to have Disney tell the world of something POW! has developed - much better to have a PR coming from Disney than Stan IMO.
Also, keep in mind that Stan is an artist and has probably not read all of the documents he has signed with Disney - these are typically several inches thick and it is always best to side on the side of safety and keep tight lipped. Loose lips sink ships.
Gotta have cranes, and kitchen equipment too. Any idea what the historical dividend has been on this stock. I could see we reach the recent highs within the next 5 years...
Well, looks like we may drop to around 15 without news. I doubt the pps will be anywhere near this come June 2nd - my estimate is near $30 June. Dividend has been as high as .5 - this is the most attractive stock I know.
Looking to invest 750k mid June; however, I wish I had the money now. Currently at near the floor, I think Mid June this will be out of my range to put that much into it...
Upcoming Schedule from the Yahoo Message Board today:
Upon completion of this review, the Company will select a limited
number of parties to complete due diligence and provide the Company
with final financing commitments in advance of filing a Plan."
• 2nd Round Bidding - June 2, 2010 at 4:00pm EST

Notification Parties listed above."
Additional bidding and negotiation is thereafter expected:

second round, and will engage in discussion with prospective acquirers
and/or investors regarding their respective Final Proposal. These
discussions will provide prospective acquirers and/or investors,
within a reasonable time before the Company makes a final
determination, an opportunity to improve their proposals to exceed
proposals the Company is considering accepting."
• GGP Final Determination - on or before July 2, 2010

Thanks - that was helpful...
If we are "sandwiched" btwn disney and marvel, could we someday be at $44.95?
Thanks - that was very helpful.
That's the problem, I don't want to do that...
...will probably buy when it dips, when everyone wants out...slowly accumulate...
This stock has more potential than the other that I am considering...
I'm selling some real estate - takes 60 days to close - this is my best stock - I would slowing come into it - don't want to spike it up.
It's betwee this and another stock...
Come June, I may put $750,000, whatever that comes too...
This stock is continuing to develop into such a solid stock, I may increase my position to 180,000,000 in June.
Maistro...how do I determine the historical dividend for GGP?
Very importante question...
Thanks for creating this wonderful board!
Sooooo....next week...eh...SONY...sounds great!!!!
It is never too late - if this goes to multiple dollars, then this price will look cheap and people will be kicking themselves. No one, to my knowledge, has done an analysis if something really big is developed by Stan. IMO - another spiderman or similular character could eventually turn this company into another MVL, $54.8 today - why not?
It may be 10 years down the road...but by then I suspect that Disney would have completely bought this out...
I'm going for $5
You were correct in your call before the pop began - very good. What is in store for tomorrow?
I thought I loaded up, but this is turning out to be my second best stock! First is TDGI, but this will probably soon change as POW! is about to surpass my percent gain! 269% vs. 335%

I think a few large investors know something we don't - like perhaps, they will not go to bk. Who knows - that is how the rich get richer - keep their secrets from the common folk.
I have a hunch that with HOV and BZH taking off, RMIX may simply be following suit, though a bit delayed. RMIX provides a lot of concrete for the residential market. With good news for them, it is fair to speculate that RMIX could share in some upside.
Another day like today we would be at $1.05.
That will be what the big investors will be hoping - pass the baton to those who are more comfortable trading in dollarland.
Tomorrow? Buck Plus! POW! can do it!!!
Great Day!!!
That's some serious cash being put into this!!!! Wonder if some of it is Disney?
Weeeeeee$$$$$$$$
Looks like we are on our way back up to 80.
This will continue upward movment IMO.
Mickelson's Win at Augusta Strengthens Callaway Golf's Momentum
Mickelson's Win at Augusta Strengthens Callaway Golf's Momentum
2010 Drivers, Irons, Putters and Golf Balls Have Earned More PGA Tour Wins than Any Manufacturer
PR Newswire
CARLSBAD, Calif., April 14
CARLSBAD, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Phil Mickelson captured his third green jacket this past weekend and continued a red-hot start to the 2010 season for Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY), the maker of his championship-winning equipment.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/callawaygolf/40577
The Company started off the year by taking top honors within Golf Digest's annual "Hot List", a comprehensive equipment evaluation conducted by Golf Digest Publications' 32-person team of equipment editors, scientists, player panelists and retailers. Callaway, which employs technological innovation and aerospace materials to design breakthrough products for golfers of all abilities, has now backed up its Hot List accolades with an unprecedented string of success among the best players in the world.
Through 16 PGA Tour events and the year's first Major tournament, Callaway Drivers, Irons, Putters and Golf Balls have amassed more victories than any other equipment manufacturer. To put Callaway's recent dominance on the PGA Tour in perspective, consider that the Company's new FT Tour Driver has now won six of the last nine PGA Tour events; Callaway Irons and Tour i Series Golf Balls have won five in that same span; and the Company's Odyssey brand of Putters has claimed five of its eight 2010 victories since this hot streak began at the Mayakoba Classic. Impressively, this run of success has been earned by a staff of tour professionals that is considerably smaller in number than those competing for the other major equipment manufacturers.
"Callaway has always dedicated more resources towards developing game-changing equipment and a 'quality vs. quantity' approach in regards to our tour staff," said George Fellows, President and CEO, Callaway Golf. "It's gratifying to see our 2010 lineup, which we feel is the strongest in our history, receive such widespread acceptance from critics, weekend golfers, and now the best players on the planet. We're entering the peak of golf's selling season with a great deal of momentum."
Callaway's focus on technological innovation was recently distinguished with a Top-5 ranking in the Consumer Products category by The Patent Board, a leading intellectual property evaluator that utilizes a series of metrics to determine patent quality, technological strength and breadth of impact. The Patent Board's annual Patent Scorecard ranked Callaway ahead of several industry titans, such as LG Electronics, Fortune Brands and Kimberly-Clark Corp.
This focus on technological innovation has led to a 2010 product lineup that has generated an unprecedented amount of excitement in the global marketplace. Descriptions of several of these products, now in force on the world's major professional tours, as well as golf courses around the globe, can be found below.
Callaway's new FT Tour Driver features a 440 cc multi-material clubhead with a full-length hosel and a slightly open face angle to deliver the look at address preferred by highly skilled players. FT Tour's design combines an ultra lightweight carbon composite body that delivers extraordinary accuracy and workability, with a titanium Hyperbolic clubface that yields incredible ball speeds and increased distance. Originally introduced on the professional tours in 2009 as FT-9 Tour Authentic, Callaway commercialized the product in 2010 as FT Tour. The driver arrived at retail in March and features a new product introduction retail price of $399.
The Callaway Tour i(s) Golf Ball features second-generation Dual Core that delivers outstanding spin separation for lower driver spin off the tee and higher spin within striking distance of the pin. The result is optimized performance throughout the round. Tour i(s)' advanced HEX Aerodynamics delivers a penetrating ball flight in all wind conditions. Now available at retail, Callaway's Tour i(s) golf balls feature a new product introduction retail price of $42.99 a dozen.
Odyssey's White Ice Putters feature the latest innovations from The Number One Putter in Golf®, Odyssey's White Ice line features the brand's best-feeling multi-layer insert to date and a rich dark nickel finish. They are the culmination of a multi-year Research and Development enterprise that drew upon extensive feedback from Tour players around the world. The result is a new and improved insert with enhanced sound and responsiveness, as well as an ultra-premium look that enhances confidence. The new product introduction retail price for Odyssey's new White Ice line is $129 for core models and $179 for progressive shapes.
The new Callaway Diablo Forged Irons feature a sleek, compact head style with classic lines. Thin top line, narrow sole, shorter blade length and minimal offset, providing premium shot-shaping ability for a wide range of golfers. Configured for greater distance than other forged irons due to a lower, deeper center of gravity that provides a penetrating trajectory. Forged steel, perimeter-weighted body and precision welded face provide incredibly soft, responsive feedback. New product introduction retail price (steel/graphite): $999/$1199.

Nice move up - where will we be in a year?
Simon Property Group Offers to Invest $2.5 Billion in General Growth Reorganization Plan at Same Per Share Price as Existing Brookfield-Sponsored Proposal
From etrade - this is a better offer IMO. Only first round in the stalking horse.
I feels it in ma bones this stock will do well in the near future.
BR548
Awsome$$$ Commercial!!!
So what did Ben say?
Great day today!
http://freundinvesting.com/2010/04/12/attractive-arbitrage-play-general-growth/
And so here we are
Since the Brookfield stalking horse bid (which has yet to be approved by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Allan Gropper), there have been rumors swirling around, focused specifically on Simon raising its’ bid to counter the Brookfield stalking horse bid. From my view, Simon has everything to gain and very little to lose by even paying $25 for General Growth. I’m not even sure shareholders would accept that bid, figuring that General Growth would be worth far more as a stand-alone, dividend paying REIT.
As General Growth edges closer and closer towards emerging from bankruptcy, I believe the risk-to-reward is still too good to pass up. Especially at today’s price of $16 and change. With a floor set at $15, and a company worth potentially $25 (or more as a stand-alone), I’m adding to my positions. In addition, there’s a relatively short time-line to wait for the value to be realized: the stalking horse bid is set for approval by April 19th, and bidders will want to get their bids in before that to reduce the cost of the warrants associated with the bid.
I encourage you to perform your own due diligence of General Growth as an arbitrage play. If that doesn’t work out, and it emerges as a stand-alone, the arbitrage play of $25 may seem like a pittance. Either way, and as always, do your own research and do not take my position as a recommendation to buy, sell, or do anything else.
