Six Flags Entertainment Emerges from Chapter 11 Restructuring
NEW YORK, May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly Six Flags, Inc.) announced today that it has completed its balance sheet restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11. The terms of the restructuring were confirmed by the Court effective as of April 30, 2010.
The restructuring reduced Six Flags Entertainment's indebtedness and mandatorily redeemable preferred stock from approximately $2.7 billion at December 31, 2009 to approximately $1.0 billion at emergence (excluding seasonal drawings under the company's revolving credit facility at emergence). As a result, the Company's annual cash interest expense will be significantly reduced to approximately $75 million. The restructuring also included $725 million in new equity committed by the new shareholders. The plan also provides for payment in full of all of the Company's trade creditors.
"This reorganization constitutes the final step in the repositioning of Six Flags," stated Mark Shapiro, President and CEO of Six Flags Entertainment. "Since the new management team arrived in 2006, we have concentrated on broadening our audience base by improving the product offering. In that vein, we instituted significant operational changes – upgrading and investing in the appearance and cleanliness of the parks; creating a more diversified family entertainment experience; growing in-park revenue by increasing length of stay and offering guests high quality brands; elevating guest service through targeted staffing initiatives; and growing sponsorship and licensing revenues."
Mr. Shapiro continued, "Now, with the restructuring completed, the Company's opportunities are no longer limited by the legacy debt levels. With our new balance sheet, we now have the financial strength to generate long-term sustainable growth while continuing to enhance the reputation and reach of our brand."
Coupled with the equity investment, the restructuring was financed by approximately $1.0 billion of senior secured credit facilities, and a $120 million revolving credit facility. In addition, an affiliate of Time Warner agreed to provide the Company with a $150 million multi-draw term loan facility to be used to fund annual Partnership Park put obligations above specified levels.
Application will be made to list the new common stock of Six Flags Entertainment on the New York Stock Exchange.

U.S. vs. Apple: Who would win?
by: Philip Elmer-DeWitt May 3rd, 2010
A report in Monday's New York Post that two government agencies — the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice — are each considering launching an antitrust investigation against Apple (AAPL) puts me in mind of the case the DOJ and 20 states brought against Microsoft (MSFT) nearly a dozen years ago.
To many observers — including the judge who heard the case — U.S. vs. Microsoft seemed open and shut. In Nov. 1999, Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson found that Microsoft's dominance of the PC operating systems market constituted a monopoly and that the company had illegally used that power to try to crush Apple, Java, Netscape, Lotus Notes, Real Networks, Linux, and others. His remedy, offered the next spring, was to break Microsoft into two units, one that made operating systems and another that made applications.
Microsoft immediately appealed, and while it couldn't overturn the findings of fact, it successfully fought the remedy. Based on embargoed interviews Judge Jackson had given the press during the trial, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals found he had displayed anti-Microsoft bias and conducted himself unethically. It handed the case to another judge with instructions to craft a more modest remedy.
The case was settled in Nov. 2001. Microsoft remains intact and its software still runs nearly 9 out of 10 of the world's PCs, although to many in the industry, the company doesn't seem to have the kind of swagger it exhibited before and during the trial.
Given that history, what chances does the government have against Apple?

TimelessWealth.net sets guidance for Alpha Pro Tech Ltd. in anticipation of market correction.
Alpha Pro Tech Ltd., listed on the NYSE Amex under the ticker APT, continues to trade under Wall Street’s radar, despite reporting strong fourth quarter and year-ended 2009 financial results. Year-to-date the share price has dropped in half for reasons difficult to discern; little information can be found to justify the downwards spiral in price. This unique situation, ladies and gentlemen, is known as opportunity. For one it may present a suitable investment opportunity, for another - a timely swing trade opportunity. Regardless, even Alpha Pro Tech critics agree that the company is worth watching closely at the current prices. That is because short-term technical indicators suggest the share price may have found a bottom. What this means for most investors is an opportunity for quick gains on the upside. But there is more to this low-float stock and rapid-growth Company than meets the lazy eye. For starters, 21-years of operating history topped only by insiders who control nearly 21% of the company redefine the meaning of ‘long-term value and growth’.

Re: APT $2M stock buyback
That statement is taken directly from their fourth quarter and year-end 2009 financial statement, where they reported 67% year-over-year growth; a 1099% jump in earnings for the fourth quarter 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
"Worth radaring, but see no buying pressure by the company on the chart. "
It would appear oddly parallel to the pinksheet companies you're used to hearing from about "buybacks" if buying pressure by the company was evident. The company reported that "During the year ended December 31, 2009, [they] repurchased 1,554,900 shares of common stock at a cost of $2.1 million".
Notice that their buyback expenditure for 2010 is $2.9M, based on $0.9M they had left over from 2009 and the additional $2M authorized by the BOD afterwards:
"As of December 31, 2009, we had $0.9 million available for additional stock purchases under our stock repurchase program."
$2M Stock Buyback Program approved by Alpha Pro Tech Ltd. Board of Directors.
"As of December 31, 2009, we had $0.9 million available for additional stock purchases under our stock repurchase program. During the year ended December 31, 2009, we repurchased 1,554,900 shares of common stock at a cost of $2.1 million. As of December 31, 2009, we had repurchased a total of 6,193,800 shares of common stock at a cost of $7.7 million through our repurchase program. Subsequent to our 2009 year end, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2.0 million of stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program. We retire all shares of stock that are repurchased. Future repurchases are expected to be funded from cash on hand and cash flows from operations."
Source: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Alpha-Pro-Tech-Ltd-Announces-bw-1108127399.html?x=0&.v=1
With insiders controlling 21% of the total issued and outstanding shares there are approximately 17M shares floating. Add a 25.4% stake that institutions have in this company and the 'true' float is about 12M shares.

Earnings Season – Cramer’s wrong, you can make money!
On the brink of an earnings season, a period where most quarterly corporate earnings are released to the public, investors are often hesitant to risk capital for potential potent growth. On CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’ Jim Cramer stated that “it's impossible to make money during earnings season[…]”. If the market is driven by speculation, earnings season is a period of time where stocks are most volatile. Volatility implies uncertainly, and uncertainty implies risk. But there is a way to manage risk and protect your capital, while ensuring this time of year is one of your best ‘earnings seasons’ – TimelessWealth.net explains.
Large Corporations, Industry Leaders, or ‘Fortune 500’ Companies, are typically first to report their earnings (for the most recent quarter). Their financials often model how well or how poorly an industry has performed in micro and macroeconomic environments. Based on reported earnings from companies with a large market share in predefined industries or sectors, the market begins to draw conclusions in the form of patterns and trends. Industries expected to perform poorly are discounted and often ‘dumped’ with exaggerated ambition. Instead, traders and investors flock to an industry or sector expected to outperform analysts’ forecast. If you’ve positioned yourself alongside a company explicitly expected to ‘outperform’ forecasts early on, you have a chance at financial bliss. If not, you’ve already missed the ‘run-up party’. So when you find yourself at crossroads as to how to reap the rewards offered during earnings season, consider the following three-step design:
