The truth is I'm keeping my options open. I may ultimately go for control of Holiday, which I think is somewhat undervalued. At the current stock price, I could get control for less than $2 billion. Holiday's three casino-hotels could be worth nearly that much — and the company owns another 300,000 hotel rooms besides.
A second option, if the stock price goes high enough, is to sell my stake and take a very nice profit. If I did that today, I'd already be up about $7 million. The third possibility is that Holiday may eventually offer to buy back my shares, at a premium, simply to get rid of me. If the premium is big enough, I'll sell.
In any case, I enjoy seeing the lengths to which bad managements go to preserve what they call their independence — which really just means their jobs.

开头背景写了好长,适合写长文,但我一时又写不下去了,囧······
2. 每日一文
第一次听说川普大爷是在友邻的晨间新闻讲解上,彼时这位精明的商人正乐此不疲地与希拉里奶奶抢美国总统的宝座。新闻来源主要是《经济学人》一类的报刊杂志,执笔者通常来自我们常说的“精英阶层”——那些基本不看好Trump且有意无意总爱揶揄这老爷子几句的中产/中产偏上的白人群体。
关于这场大选,我听到过的最好玩的一句评论来自某位我完全不认识的校友。川普与希拉里刚结束某场电视辩论的一天,我坐在靓园吃饭,身边一小撮人聊得火热,其中一位这么评价两位总统候选人:“希拉里嘛,属于身残志坚;至于川普······那是脑残志坚。” 然后大家便开始笑,满脸假如川普能当选总统,那么猪也能飞起来的表情。
可川普大爷还真就把自个儿送进了白宫。霎时各路公号纷纷发文评论,常提的几个观点包括:1. 反全球化趋势的兴起;2. 极右翼势力抬头;3. 川普虽然得罪了精英们,却有坚实的平民基础,精英们从自己的角度出发猜测选举结果,缺乏对占社会大多数的中下层民众的心态的了解,预测错了那是很正常的······
以上都是一路在跑题的铺垫
咳咳······开始读财商类书籍后,在里面频频读到川普的名字(例:《富爸爸穷爸爸》&《有钱人和你想的不一样》等),于是忽然对Trump真的起了兴趣,打开友邻说川普的专辑来听。刚听了个开头,发现一句很有意思的话:“The truth is I'm keeping my options open.”
非常精明哇!好好学(*^▽^*)
