Blackstone Group, L.P., and Hilton Hotels Corp.

Did you buy Blackstone Group L.P. (BX) when it went public several days ago?

I hope not. The stock spiked at the open to a high about $38 per share and then fell to a low of $29.75 over the next several trading days. It closed last week at $31.50, still well off it's opening day high.

There was another play involving Blackstone Group that could have still made you money a nice chunk of change, though...

Blackstone Group, L.P., is a private equity company. They make their money by purchasing other companies that they believe are undervalued or that can be turned around. A few days ago they announced their intention to purchase Hilton Hotels, Corp. (HLT) , which sent the hotel company's stock soaring!



Okay. So absent inside information or a working crystal ball, how could you have caught this move?

Well, I am here to tell you that you could have...

I can say that, because I saw it with my own eyes. This was the hidden Blackstone play that savvy MarketClub members had the opportunity to jump on.
