[09:07] {_jaredt} gm
01[09:07] {@Threei} jared :)
01[09:11] {@Threei} ese is about to come in livid
[09:11] {RonS} gm...ran out of drumsticks?
[09:12] {thomcbell} PHH – PHH Corp. – MP – Reuters article out mid-day saying they are selling the fleet business to Element Financial for $1.35B. PHH also issued a RELEASE confirming the discussions. UPDATED THOUGHTS: (1) Some confusion in the market place over the fleet biz. valuation. That business has $405M in equity. BUT, the articles note Element will receive a $400M tax basis write-up which
[09:12] {thomcbell} bridges the gap between the 1.6x BV multiple cited and the $1.35B valuation. (2) DEBT IMPLICATIONS – PHH has $250M of converts maturing in ’14 which they have cash on hand to settle. They have another $250M in converts maturing after that point and $795M in term notes. Given where the debt trades, PHH would likely need to come up with ~$200M (estimated) in cash to settle the debt. (3)
[09:12] {troub} good morning you all
[09:12] {thomcbell} BREAK UP VALUE? – PHH market cap is $1.35B. Bose thinks you put 1x TBV on mortgage piece ($1.1B) and then question becomes if the DTL ($798M / $10.35/shr) is transferrable or realized at the time of the sale, but Bose’s note lays out $26.20-$36.50 in possible value.BOTTOM LINE: Of course the question is who’s the buyer of the mortgage business and how will the private label contracts
01[09:12] {@Threei} teachers union announced strike... in response, givernemt said they'll cut their salaries by 10% if they do, and lock them out in June
[09:12] {thomcbell} get renegotiated. BUT, clearly the break-up value is higher (and potentially much higher) than where the stock closed. And the Fleet biz. seems like it definitely is going to be sold…end of the day we are MP but I want to buy the stock here as the risk reward seems very favorable in my view with limited downside (~$1-2) with potential 50% upside IF all goes right…
01[09:12] {@Threei} troub, thom :)
01[09:14] {@Threei} firestorm in BC... teachers demanded over 20% increase, never mentioning it in public and talking about "class composition" etc

[09:18] {cosmo} silver gap bigger fwiw

01[11:42] {@Threei} ok IWM... you consolidated enough
01[11:42] {@Threei} break and run
01[11:43] {@Threei} let's see maybe .90 break is beter way to play it
01[11:43] {@Threei} change to .90

[12:09] {RonS} Ohio fwiw
01[12:10] {@Threei} SODA is too easy for ron... it eaiether pops or fizzles
01[12:10] {@Threei} (and he did both)
[12:11] {RonS} but today was a classic fizzle...
[12:13] {RonS} cpla gone acapella
[12:14] {RonS} esi hitting them all...stra apol cpla
[12:16] {dino} thats some drop on esi, for a slight miss
[12:18] {RonS} dropped guidance forward due to accounting questions over some kind of loan program...
[12:19] {RonS} look sale...told ya...have to pay attention to the block volume...the big holders should be smarter than us...
[12:21] {RonS} my rule of thumb...anytime block volume is over 10% of total it means real trouble
[12:22] {dino} sale news is just that google thing right? will be watching it tomorrow
[12:23] {RonS} ...the other extreme is true too...selloff on little to no block volume means noone big wants to buy a block so the big holders have to feed their shares so the offer pressure can be relentless
01[12:24] {@Threei} looks like dino... I see nothing else
[12:25] {dino} same here vad, thx
[12:28] {dino} get used to this slow down, most likely even slower tomorrow

01[12:51] {@Threei} RetailMeNot, Inc. RetailMeNot Statement on Recent Press Concerning Commentary on Search Engine Ranking PerformanceThe company believes these reports greatly overstate the impact on RetailMeNot.com. Over RetailMeNot's history, search engines have periodically implemented algorithm changes that have caused traffic to fluctuate.
