seems like a pretty stupid article, one of the four stocks mentioned is down .11 (just over 1%) from friday's close, one is flat, and two are up <g> then again, the street dot joke is regularly the source of garbage articles, so i guess it's not very surprising

Correct, Amaranth holds such stakes: Message 22766745 and if Amaranth and for example, the merry band at DKR also need money to pay back investors... what can they do? Liquidate "investments"? then it might be a good thing that prospective blank check captains can no longer consider money a free thing. It can put the focus on the existing blank check companies and perhaps at least slow the pace of new ones. I'd like to see a nice washout on some trades, preferably towards yearend when people are reluctant to buy. MPAQU today, a gift finance.yahoo.com
