Blackstone more than triples earnings

Blackstone Group more than tripled its quarterly profits and revenue Monday, helped by strength in its real estate and private equity divisions.

The New York-based firm reported net income of $774.4 million for the second quarter ending June 30, up from $224.1 million a year ago. Revenue surged to $975.3 million from $324.6.

Are you worried that BX gave back the majority of its gains today and closed at the low end of the range? I have a small position and have been looking for a place to add some more exposure but not sure I feel comfortable at this point.

I have no position in BX. I am concerned that the overall market started off green yesterday and finished red. That is very bearish for the markets especially when world markets were in rally mode. In a typical bull market stocks start off red and then they close strong.
