RAM Energy Resources, Inc. (NasdaqGM: RAM )

Petrohawk Ex-CEO Leads $550 Million Purchase of Ram Stake
By Jim Polson - Dec 22, 2011 5:48 AM PT
bloomberg.com 
From the article:"...Former Petrohawk Energy Corp. head Floyd C. Wilson will become the chief executive officer of Ram Energy Resources Inc. after leading a $550 million purchase of a majority stake in the oil and natural-gas producer..."

---------------------------------------------------

It looks like one of the largest shareholders will run own and run the company. Jefferies was Ram’s largest shareholder with a 22 percent stake as of Sept. 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Lee owned about 13 percent as of a Dec. 15 filing.

SYA vs. MET, small insurer vs. big: Decided I agree with you regarding SYA vs MET, Sold (closed) SYA and ACE today. I'm still intending to add more MET if it drops back a bit. My focus now is only on these big caps.

Re Met vs SYA, I agree. FWIW I am on vacation in my home country right now, not following stocks much. Nobody is much concerned about a recession here, Ifo industrial "mood" index is climbing and Xmas business is strong. People have cash and are spending, but they are very concerned about monetary stability. They believe that Greece is hopeless and the rest need to suck it up. Whoever allows the ECB to print will not get re-elected here. That's probably all you need to know macro-wise about Europe.

Clownbuck, thanks for the view from Europe. I am still looking to buy European-centric multinationals that are near lows. Sorry I did not step in for a few that were mentioned here recently that have now risen, like the chemical makers (e.g. Bayer).

I still hold a few shares of Pargesa (PRGAF.pk). Based on your comments here about its possible structural changes, I'm a reluctant holder, and I'm not willing to add more to my losing position. Instead, I have been buying directly some of the component companies that they own.

I'm also holding a small losing position in utility RWE AG. Not sure what to do with that one. I'm also in the red with Volkswagen (VLKAY.pk). That one I'll add to if it will fall back to lows on no adverse news.

Did you look at the where the lows are? It would take more than a 50% haircut just to reach its three month low. That's a haircut and a shave.

Volks has a very ambitious program that will take years to fully implement. Particularly their truck program. I like their strategy and their management team. I don't own any shares but I am looking for an opportunity to start a position.

RWE raised some capital a few weeks ago. I think it is at least a hold here. The German and I suspect the whole European car market is tough right now, the scrap programs from a few years ago, may have sapped demand for some time. There certainly is no pent up car demand in Europe right now. I continue to like Sulzer; I think this quality outfit is very cheap.
