If I was him, I would accumulate that amount of stock only to take control on management, bring in some proved management team, make the company private or rise its market cap.) So if it is not acquisition from a third company, it should be take over of some sort directly by Falcone, otherwise it is waste of money...&lt;br&gt;What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Inger</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:43:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Harbinger Capital Partners: New Position in Morgans Hotel Group (MHGC)</title><link>http://www.marketfolly.com/2009/07/harbinger-capital-partners-new-position.html#comment-12280008</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I wander what did they find in MHGC? Too much leverage, too tough a segment to operate theese days (luxury hotels are struggling) and the recovery of that segment is also too far from now...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The only possibility for smart money here - that MHGC will be acquired by someone. I don't see any other reason to invest in this company now. Or may be I have a very narrow point of view?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Inger</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:18:59 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
