Blackstone Group (BX), which went public at around $30 per share just last summer, is now selling for less than $20. Mr. Blackstone himself bought some shares last week. I think that at these levels, BX is a buy. Incidentally, with interest rates low and going lower, and company valuations 15% lower than they were last summer, I suspect we will start seeing M&A activity pick up soon. Case in point - CME's acquisition of Nymex announced today.
