MB, this is the first time I've asked a professional wrestler for advice, so no trick holds and triple slamations, please.<gg>

Iridium bonds are selling for 50 cents on the dollar. I assume it is very likely equity holders will be squeezed out completely if this is the fiasco it now appears to be. However, with Motorola and some other big equity partners in the soup, short of taking a complete hit on the project won't they have to honor the bonds if they expect to squeeze any operating revenue out of Iridium, regardless of what they do to stockholders? If so, wouldn't a bond holder in effect have Motorola on the hook for payment, unless Motorola wanted to walk away from the project completely? Interested your thoughts and pointers as to pitfalls for aspiring junk bond holders in this circumstance.

TIA

Pierre

Mike,

Oh man, that Gene guy hasn't changed a bit in 30 years. I remember Nick Bockwinkle and that triggered the name of my favorite wrestler at the time--BlackJack Lanza, perhaps the first badboy of wrestling...As Mags would say, "Ho Ho Ho Thanks for the memories"...

Well, in S.F. I saw Leo Nomolini(sp?) block Mike Sharpe right through the ropes...and I mean through - they snapped. At the re-match, four weeks later, he still had welts across his back. When the tag- match was over, all the participants were bleeding. I met Ben Sharpe several years later, and he remembered those matches well.
