Back From the Brink: CIT Said Near $3B Deal To Avoid Bankruptcy By WWD Staff A WORST-CASE SCENARIO APPEARED to have been avoided late Sunday as CIT Group Inc. was reported to have reached a tentative $3 billion financing deal with bondholders, allowing the entire apparel supply chain to breathe a large sigh of relief. News of the deal — the most welcome about CIT in more than a week — allowed suppliers and retailers a respite as they sought to cope with the potentially catastrophic effects a CIT bankruptcy would have had on the shipment of fall and holiday goods by vendors, as well as the day-to-day credit requirements of many stores. An attempt by CIT last week to secure a second round of federal financing ended in failure. With CIT’s fate uncertain as the weekend began, many small and midsized companies FF See CIT, Page 3 HO Forever Young The resort collections may have been short on Judy Jetson looks, but ANNA FISC ANNA H S there were elements that belied a Space Age inspiration, especially in HO S BY accessories, via techy materials and planetary shapes — proving that LED LED outer space continues to intrigue decades after the first moon walk.

  • Eotm the Agony and the Ecstasy
    EYE ON THE MARKET SPECIAL EDITION THE & agTHE ny ecst sy THE RISKS AND REWARDS OF A CONCENTRATED StOCK POSITION The Agony and the Ecstasy is a 1961 biographical novel by American author Irving Stone on the life of Michelangelo: his passion, intensity and perseverance as he created some of the greatest works of the Renaissance period. Like Michelangelo’s paintings and sculptures, successful businesses are the by-product of inspiration, hard work, and no small amount of genius. And like the works of the Great Masters, only a small minority stand the test of time and last over the long run. The Agony and the Ecstasy conveys the disparate outcomes facing concentrated holders of individual stocks in a world, like Michelangelo’s, that is beset with intrigue, unforeseen risks, intense competition and uncertainty. EYE ON THE MARKET • J.P. MORGAN Eye on the Market J.P. MORGAN The Agony and the Ecstasy: The Risks and Rewards of a Concentrated Stock Position Executive Summary There are many Horatio Alger stories in the corporate world in which an entrepreneur or CEO has the right idea at the right time and executes brilliantly on a business plan. But history also shows that forces both within and outside management control led many of their businesses to suffer serious reversals of fortune. As a result, many individuals are known not just for the wealth they created through a concentrated position, but also for the decision they made to sell, hedge or otherwise take some chips off the table. In this paper, we take a look at the long history of individual stocks, and at the risks and rewards of concentration.
