Shareholders, who have seen Pinnacle's stock price fall 37 percent in the past 52 weeks, want stability. Pinnacle has been run by interim Chief Executive Officer John Giovenco since Nov. 9, when Dan Lee resigned after a public dispute with a St. Louis elected official. In the following five months, the company scaled back a Louisiana casino, killed a planned $3 billion Atlantic City project, reduced corporate expenses by millions, and took care of St. Louis. MorganJoseph gaming analyst Justin Sebastiano said shutting down the President Casino, an aging property Pinnacle acquired out of bankruptcy for $46 million in 2006, was a no brainer.

Despite heavy Street speculation to the contrary, Palm (PALM) is not likely to be taken over, Morgan Joseph analyst Ilya Grozovsky this morning asserted in a research note."We believe rumors of Palm as a potential buyout candidate for larger technology companies such as Microsoft (MSFT) , Dell (DELL) , Nokia (NOK) and Hewlett Packard (HPQ) among others has little merit," he writes, despite a 45% drop in the company's shares since . With the stock trading at 1x his calendar 2010 sales estimate of $948 million, he thinks the shares still reflect a potential takeover premium. That said, he thinks the company's $590 million cash position gives it enough resources to make several more attempts at developing a new phone; ergo, he maintains a Hold rating on the shares.
