Hmm, looks like the credit issue is throwing up a lot of bargains! Sometime ago we wrote that Leucadia recently purchased a sizable stake in Americredit. The word is now Leucadia has boosted its stake in Americredit by a factor of 2 and currently owns 22.4% of Americredit with a group of partners.

Ian M. Cumming and Joseph S. Steinberg of Leucadia have released its annual report. In 2005 Leucadia reported $1,636 million in after tax income, or $15.18 per share. Book value increased by 61.5%. They worry about the profligate ways of our country’s fiscal policy. The trade deficit is huge and growing and represents debt to foreigners. If these creditors decide precipitously or all at the same time to exchange these markers for other countries’ markers, our big strong bustling nation is in big trouble.

Leucadia National (LUK) has delivered gains that even trump the Sage of Omaha. Companies mired in bankruptcy and turmoil may look ugly to some investors, but to Ian Cumming and Joseph Steinberg they're downright foxy. Using their publicly traded investment firm, Leucadia National, the duo have built a reputation as master takeover artists who buy distressed companies at discount prices, revive them and sell them for hefty profits.
