Do you have an opinion about GAJ and do you plan to buy it?

re Great Atlantic - Hm 220M$ in EBITDA and 1B$ in debt but a total of 6.4B$ in total obligations. Much, but not all of those obligations can be wiped out. There is DIP financing and some liens in front of the senior debt. Pensions (~400M$) may or may not get a haircut. sec.gov you can buy something like SVU at 4x EBITDA and KR at 5X. WINN has net cash and is post bankruptcy. These A&P stores have been suffering since as long as I can remember. The debt and everybody else will have to take deep haircuts, because the whole thing is worth no more than 1 B$ max. It sounds to me that they should liquidate rather than continue as a going concern, the earning power is just not there.
