Blackstone is a solid asset management group with a proven track record. It has felt the sting of the subprime mortgage crisis and missed a quarterly finance projection, but will likely rebound back in the long run.

Four Stock Ideas for This Market

Riding a wave of positive corporate announcements — among them, CISCO (Nasdaq: CSCO); The Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX); Coca Cola Bottling (Nasdaq: COKE); and Dynergy (NYSE: DYN) — and a number of positive economic releases, the market bullied its way through resistance to make net gains every day last week for the S&P 500. The result was a 3.2% gain for the S&P and consistent strong market action through all cap/styles and all sectors.

The strength continued Monday with the S&P 500 up over 2% without even a hiccup. I have to admit that I’m impressed with this market right now.

Revenue and earnings figures for this company are particularly difficult to analyze because of the partnership accounting surrounding many of the firm’s managed alternative investments, but the statistics from the earnings release were certainly encouraging.<>...
