Right, Dennis, that's why the stock is so cheap. However, the losses stem mainly from the expense of refurbishing and rebuilding. It's like buying a speculative penny stock, but not as much of a worry as a penny stock. However, it is definitely for the expendable part of your portfolio, and only for the long term. If the company doesn't meet expectations, the stock will go back down and MCA, that is, the Bronfman family and Seagram, will probably buy the rest of the stock if the government doesn't raise antitrust concerns. And if that were to happen, there's no way to tell what they'll pay for the stock, maybe only a dime a share? Oh, by the way, my wife wants to know the location of Navy Pier; she can't remember exactly but she thinks it's around Outer Drive East. |
