Does anyone here think it the Freedom warrants are a good purchase, even though the warrants ran up a lot? Any other interesting ideas?

GLG is a little bit tainted because of some earlier investigation into its trading ahead of private placements but otherwise it is a sound business and a real large hedge fund. This one is much cheaper than blackstone or Fortress.
