Well, since then, the stock price has surged from $4.87 to $13.44</p>
<p>What happened? Perhaps it's the fact that the financial system has stabilized.</p>
<p>But, if you take a look at the <a href="http://dealbook.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/06/blackstone-posts-93-million-loss/">Q1 results</a> (announced yesterday) for <a href="http://www.bloggingbuyouts.com/the-blackstone-group/">Blackstone</a>, things still look ugly. In fact, on the conference call, President Tony James gave a particularly negative view on the economy. For the most part, it looks like it will take a long while to get things back on track.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/05/07/blackstone-s-stock-is-dimwitted-no-more/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Blackstone's stock is 'dimwitted' no more</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2009/05/07/blackstone-s-stock-is-dimwitted-no-more/">Blackstone's stock is 'dimwitted' no more</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 07 May 2009 14:00:00 EST.
