Dow Jones Description
The Company is a diversified holding company engaged in a variety of businesses, including manufacturing, telecommunications, property management and services, gaming entertainment, real estate activities, medical product development and winery operations. The Company also has significant investments in the common stock of two public companies that are accounted for at fair value, one of which is a full service investment bank and the other an independent auto finance company. The Company also owns equity interests in operating businesses and investment partnerships which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, including a broker-dealer engaged in making markets and trading of high yield and special situation securities, land based contract oil and gas drilling, real estate activities and development of a copper mine in Spain. The Company concentrates on return on investment and cash flow to maximize long-term shareholder value. Additionally, the Company continuously evaluates the retention and disposition of its existing operations and investigates possible acquisitions of new businesses. In identifying possible acquisitions, the Company tends to seek assets and companies that are out of favor or troubled and, as a result, are selling substantially below the values the Company believes to be present.
