Federal Antitrust Regulators Approve Cerberus's $7.4B Purchase of Chrysler


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal antitrust regulators have cleared Cerberus Capital Management's $7 billion purchase of Chrysler, people close to the deal said Tuesday.
The Federal Trade Commission made its decision before the end of a standard 30-day review, according to two people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Early termination of an FTC review typically signifies there will be no conditions placed on the deal.

America's largest homebuilder is currently in a slump along with the rest of the homebuilders (i.e., KB Home, Pulte, MDC, etc.)

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=DHI&t=my&l=on&z=m&q=l&p=&a=&c=

They have a strong balance sheet, good name and product branding, and operate in vast geographically dispersed locations.  They have significant competitive advantage as well as an economic moat.  

Their current Price to Sales and Price to Book

Price/Sales (ttm): 0.48
Price/Book (mrq): 1.19

For the contrarian investor this is the time to start loading your portfolio with home builders - while the market has beaten them down. They haven't bottomed yet but its better to begin acquiring shares just before bottom and while they are nearing bottom, than to miss the upswing when it gets going again.  Their 52 week high was well over $50/share with 6 splits since they began operating:

Splits
18-Sep-95 [7:5]
14-Sep-00 [109:100]
07-Mar-01 [111:100]
10-Apr-02 [3:2]
13-Jan-04 [3:2]
17-Mar-05 [4:3]

They have a 4 to 1 current ratio, $7.6B in working capital, and can pay off their long term debt ($4.9B) easily.

While the market is down for large home builders they are certainly not going to disappear.

PS: Using Ben Graham's "Intelligent Investor" guidelines, for valuation, this stock would be as close to an undervalued stock price as one could get.  BTW Ben Graham and Warren Buffet both studied in the same University and also opened their first managed fund together.

GOLD producer DRDGOLD had concluded its purchase of the Top Star property in central Johannesburg, it said yesterday.

The landmark mine dump, which was the site of one of Johannesburg's last drive-ins, was sold by AngloGold Ashanti. The purchase price was not disclosed.

DRDGOLD plans to process the dump for gold, which was not extracted in the past, when it was uneconomic to do so. It is estimated to contain 5,1-million tons of material at an average grade of 0,78 grams a ton.

CE Mark Wellesley-Wood said last month that in the medium term, the group's subsidiary Crown Mines' future would depend on receiving approval for its application to mine the dump.

A company spokesman said details of the application were being finalised with the minerals and energy department.

The group's results for the year to June, released yesterday a month after management discussed the operational performance, showed that the revenue contribution from South African operations overtook that from the Australasian operations. This was partly because of improved production from the South African mines and a decline in production at Australasian mines and partly because of the restructuring of the group's holdings. It now owns 85% of DRDGOLD SA and 79% of Australian Stock Exchange-listed Emperor Mines.

Total revenue from continuing operations rose to R1,6bn from R1,15bn. DRDGOLD earned 62% of gold and silver revenue from SA and 38% from Australasia, against 37% from SA and 63% from Australasia last year. In the latest period, the South African operations returned to a cash operating profit from a loss last year while cash operating profits from Australasia halved.

In Australasia, there was remedial work at the west wall of the Porgera Mine in Papua New Guinea, bad weather and underground flooding at Tolukuma in Papua New Guinea, and a planned shutdown at Vatukoula in Fiji as the mine was reorganised.

Bloomberg quoted Wellesley-Wood as saying yesterday the group planned to raise production by a third this year, with a 50% increase in Australasian operations and a 25% increase in SA.

The group increased its headline loss to 108,4c a share from last year's loss of 70c a share. It held R488,6m in cash at end-June against R241,2m a year ago.

I notice that in the past, when it has gotten close to 40 it has come down pretty fast.  It looks like it keeps going up there and testing.

It is starting to hug the 4 day ema on the daily chart.
