I'm sure that I have shorted Blackstone here in the past, but at today's prices the company is too cheap to ignore. It's assets under management have doubled since it's IPO, yet it's stock price has imploded. Its GAAP financials hide the business's profitability. With a solid franchise, huge dividend, and net cash on it's balance sheet, BX is a good bet to outperform the S&P going forward.

Financials in general scare me to death, and I don't invest in them. But this is a game, so what the hell...

BX seems to have the cash and is deploying it right now on distressed European assets and commercial real estate. Sounds dumb right? Just so crazy it may just work....

Despite the headwinds of high unemployment, increased commodities prices, U.S. budget deficit, sovereign debt pressures in Europe, and political turmoil in north Africa and in the middle east, the global economy is starting to recover. Equities have strengthened, and they are reporting stronger cash inflows to their funds and market asset appreciation. Their real estate arm is also starting to see a rebound in the commercial side. Management is starting to build up cash for a new investment, In the near term retain investment gains to raise its capital even more so they can participate in deals and offer new funds, this will help reduce their reliance on debt and improve their ability to generate earnings.
