Can hedge funds get the $157 redemption value? Graphic_rating_buy TXA

These are Tribune bonds that trade under symbol TXA currently yielding about 5.25%.  Hedge funds own most and have declared Tribune in default because Sam Zell plans to sell the Chicago Cubs once he completes purchase of Tribune.  The value should rise should these hedge funds appear to have any success, and of course would soar should they ultimately prevail.  5.25% is not bad while waiting even if nothing happens, and downside risk mostly associated with interest rates as with any bonds.

Should Congress approve $15 billion GM/Chrysler bailout bill?

Filed under: General Motors (GM), International Business Machines (IBM), Tribune Co. (TRB)

General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Chrysler executives have managed to drive their business to the brink of bankruptcy.

(NYSE: TXA) went over that precipice without a penny of government money. But GM/Chrysler cannot be allowed to follow that natural path for a failed business -- they need government to save them from the free market.

<>And so this morning a plan to socialize t...

    News Corp. pulls bid for Newsday

    Filed under: Tribune Co. (TRB), News Corp'B' (NWS)

    The Wall Street Journal, which is owned by News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) is reporting that News Corp. has withdrawn its bid for Newsday (subscription required).
