Probably an airline. I'll go with United.

Sears. For the second time.

Airlines is a nice bet but I think the bailout may buy them a few months before they start dying off.

I like Live Nation, iHeart Media or Manpower Group (gaaaaayyyy) could be awaiting the block. Live Nation for obvious reasons, iHeart because noooobody listens to the radio unless they are going to/form work and when unemployment is at fifty percent the temp agencies could all roll over and die.

I'll be there with a lighted torch to burn Live Nation to the ground.

Depending on how long this goes on, it could be Darden restaurants or MGM Grand.

Macy's. Only a fool would invest in them.

LVMH would be a nice, but unlikely starter.

Their real estate is worth more than their market cap. Denis sold me on the Macy's train.

Denis needs you guys to make bad investments. That's how he wins.

I can't be bothered to care which companies are in the Fortune 500 vs. the Russell 2000 or whatever, but any retail company that has a significant amount of stores in a mall would be a prime candidate to me.

Simon and Westfield are probably ok. If Oak Brook Mall completely closed down tomorrow, there'd be a rush to figure out who gets to build single family McMansions there. But Simon and Westfield's tenants? They were already on thin ice, and they're fucked if this goes with five more weeks of closures and then five weeks of scared and broke customers.

I’m assuming you know that was tongue-in-cheek.

IHeartRadio is a good bet.

Occidental Petroleum has been in the WSJ frequently even before corona came to America. They outbid Chevron to purchase Anadarko for their shale patch assets. Now they're drowning in debt and oil is in the shitter.

I'm surprised Dick's hasn't been mentioned. Their decision to continue eliminating stores from selling guns to placate the libs is totally gonna backfire and bankrupt them. I bet they regret their decision right now to not sell guns during this crazy time.

Not a chance. They've slaughtered the competition in terms of sporting goods retailers.
