Highfields, a Boston-based hedge fund, made a bid for ALL of Circuit City. At $17 a share, that's almost 20% above its previous close. That's a $3.25 billion bid (I thought the company would be worth more…) ...... Highfields can be very vocal too. Richard Grubman is the #2 guy there.
Here, in a transcript courtesy of Motley Fool, he is doing battle with Enron's Jeff Skilling in a 2001 conference call:
Grubman: Good morning. Can you tell us what the assets and liabilities from price risk management were at quarter-end, what those balances were?
Skilling: We do not have the balance sheet completed. We will have that done shortly when we file the Q. But until we put all of that together, we just cannot give you that.
Grubman: I'm trying to understand why that would appear to be an unreasonable request, in light of your comments about daily control of all your credits. I mean, you have a trading desk with a $21 million matched book that's two times your book value, and you cannot tell us what the balances are?
Skilling: I'm not saying we can't tell you what the balances are. We clearly have all of those positions on a daily basis, but at this point, we will wait to disclose those until all of the netting and the right accounting is put together.
Grubman: You're the only financial institution that cannot produce a balance sheet or cash flow statement with their earnings.
Skilling: Thank you very much, we appreciate that.
Grubman: We appreciate that.
Skilling: A%%-hole."…. SWEET!
