DerekNJND	Blackstone group--this was an opportunity I scoured out when it was down at $6.00, before an absolute TIDAL WAVE of cash flowed into the stock. Dividend announced recently, I expect this stock to be a 60-70% return before long.	Love	May 09, 2009
Stockpickr Staff	Christopher Atayan: "Blackstone Group (BX) is sitting in a strong position." <a href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/10487177/1/top-takes-from-realmoney.html" target="_blank">Read more on <I>TheStreet.com</I>.</a>	Love	April 16, 2009
barrons3	On the list of banks stocks to consider, Cramer included Citigroup (C), Bank Of America (BAC), US Bancorp (USB), Blackstone Group (BX) and Wells Fargo (WFC).	Love	March 19, 2009
barrons3	Think about this basket: Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC), General Electric (GE), Hartford (HIG), Blackstone (BX) and Wells Fargo (WFC). This is the Bernanke basket, and it has real resonance, because the amount of money involved is minimal. It is "exciting," if you can forgive my insistence that it should be interesting to make money.	Love	March 19, 2009
barrons3	"Options action suggests to me that this private equity firm could start turning during the next quarter," says Pete Najarian. “As credit begins to ease it seems to me Blackstone could be sitting in the sweet spot. They’ve got $25 billion dollars in dry powder out there looking,” he says.	Love	March 04, 2009

sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "The last thing I want to own here is a private equity firm. I also want to sell Fortress Investments (FIG)."	Love	October 02, 2008

barrons3	Seymour told viewers to consider the private equity firms like Fortress(FIG) and Blackstone(BX). He believes private equity players will spend money to buy distressed assets in emerging markets.	Love	September 17, 2008
barrons2	Blackstone, for instance, values its $25 billion of private-equity investments and $19 billion of real-estate deals each quarter, way before the investments are monetized. The exercise amounts to a self-graded exam about which Blackstone discloses little. Want to know how highly Blackstone now values its original $5 billion stake in Hilton or its $3 billion interest in Freescale? The information isn't publicly available. Blackstone says that investors in its private-equity funds are entitled to it, but that its public shareholders aren't. One big hedge-fund investor calls Blackstone and its peers "uninvestable" because of this glaring -- but legal -- disclosure gap, adding: "I don't see how shareholders can get comfortable owning these companies." One way to remedy that would be for the SEC to mandate more disclosure.	Love	August 30, 2008

stock-r-us	Beaten to death. Its stock performance has been so bad since its IPO and the CEO and the other top executives all receive excellent compensation for 2007. Their compensation seem not to relate to their performance. I dislike companies like this.	Hate	April 01, 2008

barrons2	Blackstone bulls think the stock is cheap at 18, or 12 times estimated earnings. But the shares could fall to 15 if several deals sour and cost Blackstone its incentive fees.	Love	February 02, 2008
barrons2	That's also the case for Blackstone (BX). Cramer recommends holding shares already owned, but would not buy more.	Love	January 17, 2008
sarah z	Blackstone recently announced that the Board of Directors of its general partner, Blackstone Group Management L.L.C., has authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of Blackstone common units and Blackstone Holdings units. Under this unit repurchase program, units may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Blackstone Group also announced that it will spend as much as $930 million for GSO Capital Partners LP, a hedge fund that helps finance private equity buyouts and manages debt investments, the New York-based private equity firm said. “We believe that our common units are undervalued,” said Mr. James, “and we therefore intend to offset the issuance of Holdings units to the owners of GSO by repurchasing the same amount of units from existing holders.” The stock trades for 6x cash flow.
