MGM, what can we say about this company. A great story... Went from 2.69 in 1992 to a little over 100 in 2007, when the bull market peaked only to fall back to the levels of 1992 in March 2009. It took only 16 months to erase what it took to build in 16 years. With Tracinda Corp owning a majority of shares in MGM and willing to pump liquidity whenever needed into MGM, I think Kirk Kerkorian is willing to do what it takes to hold onto his stake in MGM unlike in the story of Ford where he had to sell his stake at 2$ of all which he bought at 8$ just a year before only to see it all comeback a year after.
MGM is on a partnership with the Dubai World to build the City Center, Las Vegas. CityCenter is a 16,797,000 square feet (1,560,500 m2) mixed-use, massive urban complex on 76 acres (31 ha) located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The project was started by MGM Mirage; Dubai World became a joint partner during the project's construction phase. It is the largest privately funded construction project in the history of the United States.
