It's basing. It will have it's day in the sun. Someday. Not anytime soon. Ron Perelman is on the Forbes 400. No small feat.
?..........Ellen Barkin distracted Perelman from running the company. Now that their divorce should be final, maybe the company will rebound.
I am assuming you mean the halt. Just a guess here, but their bonds have been getting killed (yields into orbit) so I am thinking their access to low cost money evaporated with the mortgage crisis. So....either it's time to shoot the corpse one last time, OR Ron once again rides to the rescue. I am thinking the former (like reorganization bad) but I have nothing specific. Just a thought.
Doesn't have anything to do with running a company or she sticking a nipple in a pat of butter. Has a lot to do with accumulating paper. Half a decade thus far. But if YOU want something to feel good with, cosmetics have insane profit margins, Revlon has name recognition dating to the 1940's, lower price points than competitoors, and there are new twats born everyday.
