Very interesting comments - Why should $IAC buy $CRCM

$IAC should buy $CRCM. It’s a great niche internet business that is terribly run. Would be a perfect turnaround for them.

Goldman Sachs Thread $GS

The $GS qtr was in-line with expectations. Continue to makes moves along the lines of the restructuring. Not growing risk-weighted assets and investing in Investment Banking and Investment Management. ROE is still only 11%. Their restructuring will need to improve ROE.

Terry Smith on share buybacks

Terry Smith (2011) on share buybacks: "The positive impact on EPS of a share repurchase is the simple arithmetic result of the earnings yield of what you’re buying being higher than the after-tax cost of what you’re funding the purchase with; it is not the same as value creation" pic.twitter.com/zRtaOqobV0

Could New Media Investment Group $NEWM be next BlueLinx $BXC?

$NEWM - If $200 mm synergy number in WSJ article is accurate, this could be $BXC 2.0. First, rips unbelievably when deal is announced, then over time reality sets in. Feels like a terrible short right now. Calls actually look very interesting from a risk/reward perspective
