We increased our position in Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (PNK, Financial) in the quarter, as we remain excited by the company's prospective closing of its Ameristar acquisition. We believe the company will do what is necessary to receive FTC approval and close this transaction. We think the combined company should generate significant revenue and cost synergies that we think are not currently reflected in its stock price. These synergies combined with the company's current expansion projects of its own should generate significant cash flow growth in the years ahead. Management has indicated it will use this cash to quickly pay down debt and add significant value for shareholders. (David Baron)
