DerekNJND	doubled like 3 times after I sold at $4. Ok not four times, but you get the picture.	Hate	May 09, 2009
barrons3	I don’t think the rally continues at this rate. I’m not saying go out and short the market, just that the rally feels a little old. And I’m watching Fortress (FIG). Even if the market goes sideways or lower I still think Fortress can continue higher because they have the right tailwinds behind them.	Love	May 06, 2009
barrons3	Hold -- Price 1.59 on March 17 by Jefferies & Co. FIG's hedge-fund redemptions are moderating...it reported 4Q08 pretax loss of $258 million or minus-56 cents a share. Private-equity valuations remain under pressure and portfolio-debt maturities loom...however, the added flexibility of FIG's recent debt amendments brings stability in the near-term. Our revised $2 target is based on a sum-of-the-parts valuation. Risks...include further reductions in carrying values, larger-than-expected [hedge-fund] redemptions, and breach of debt covenants. Market cap: $610 million.	Love	March 21, 2009

barrons3	If you stop redemptions as a hedge fund, a la Fortress Investment Group (FIG), and you don't go down after really blowing up, a la DuPont (DD), you can craft an argument that the bad news is finally in the stocks and that the automatic selling that we have seen endlessly from the hedge funds is at last behind us.	Love	December 04, 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	The markets already have recognized the diminished prospects for private equity as shares of industry leader Blackstone now languish at 17, down sharply from its IPO price last June of 31. Fortress Investment Group (FIG), another private-equity specialist, has seen its stock plunge to 10 from 37 shortly after its 2007 IPO at 18.	Love	August 30, 2008

barrons2	"While shares of the marquee players Blackstone Group (BX) and Fortress Investment Group (FIG) appear to have halted their stinging and well-warranted declines."	Love	September 22, 2007
xodin	I use to blame hedge funds for manipulating the prices of the low $ stocks that I owned; however, when I saw FIG, a pioneer of private equity yielding 5% at a 50% discount to its IPO I couldn't turn away.	Love	September 14, 2007
barrons2	Fortress Investment Group is a Fed rate cut play on the idea that private equity will return with the lowering of cost of capital. With 11% of the float short I a good trade if the Fed cuts.	Love	September 11, 2007
kward	Large haircut from IPO high (50%). Yield 2% plus. More stable revenue stream than higher profile recent BX IPO.	Love	July 13, 2007
