Barron's: LBO Targets?

Description:

From Barron's 3-12-07:

"Private equity funds grab headlines with their enormous leveraged buyouts, but they'd barely merit the back page without the corporate bond market, which buys much of the debt that enables these deals. No one knows this corner of the credit markets better than Carol Levenson, an investment-grade bond analyst who helped found Gimme Credit in 1994. The research shop now boasts nine analysts who post pithy, yet insightful, comments on corporate bonds throughout the day...Here's Levenson's take on today's credit environment, how to approach LBO risks and where one might consider hiding."

Levenson also added that she has "some names where there are LBO rumors or event-risk rumors, that we have discounted to the extent where we feel that the bonds are attractive."

Here are some companies whose bonds she likes despite rumors of credit events like LBOs.
