ASARCO LLC is a mining, smelting, and refining company based in Tucson, Arizona that mines and processes primarily copper. The company, a subsidiary of Grupo México, is currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. ASARCO planned to emerge from bankruptcy in 2008, and opposes calls for it to totally liquidate its mining and industrial assets.[1]
Its three largest open pit mines are the Mission, Silver Bell and the Ray mines in Arizona. Its mines produce 350 to 400 million pounds of copper a year. ASARCO conducts solvent extraction/electrowinning at the Ray and Silver Bell mines in Pima County, Arizona and Pinal County, Arizona and a smelter in Hayden, Arizona. Before its smelting plant in El Paso, Texas was suspended in 1999 it was producing 1 billion pounds of anodes each year. Refining at the mines as well as at a copper refinery in Amarillo, Texas produce 375 million pounds of refined copper each year.
ASARCO's hourly workers are primarily represented by the United Steelworkers.
ASARCO has 20 superfund sites across the United States, and it is subject to considerable litigation over pollution.
As of September 2009, ASARCO was the focus of a bidding war begun in May 2008 between its own parent company Grupo México and India-based Sterlite Industries. On August 31, 2009, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Richard Schmidt recommended that U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen accept Grupo México's $2.5 billion bid for ASARCO as it prepares to come out of bankruptcy. However, on September 11, Sterlite increased its bid from $2.14 billion to $2.57 billion and requested that the court evaluate its new offer before issuing a final decision.
Ameristar Casinos (NASDAQ: ASCA) operates eight casino resorts in the Midwestern U.S. Unlike other casino operators such as Wynn Resorts (WYNN) or Las Vegas Sands (LVS) which attract higher-end tourists, Ameristar's main customers are local residents and regional, in-state tourists.[1] Customers come to Ameristar's casinos to play Vegas-style, low limit slots and a range of table games, including blackjack, craps, roulette and poker. The vast majority of Ameristar's revenues come from slots.
Ameristar's growth strategy has been driven by acquisitions. In September 2007, for example, Ameristar acquired Resorts East Chicago, which is located in northwest Indiana and serves the Chicago area, the third largest commercial gaming market in the U.S.[2]
Company Overview
Ameristar Casinos owns and operates eight casino resorts in the Midwest region of the U.S. These resorts are located in St. Charles (Missouri), Kansas City (Kansas), Council Bluffs (Iowa), East Chicago (Indiana), Vicksburg (Mississippi), Black Hawk (Colorado) and Jackpot (Nevada). [3]

Trends and Forces
Ameristar Casinos' profits are vulnerable to changes in gaming regulation
The gaming industry as a whole is highly regulated and subject to state and local legislation, and is especially vulnerable to changes in gaming taxes and fees. State and local governments may attempt to reduce budget deficits through increases in gaming taxes, especially during economic downturns, and Ameristar operates casinos in eight different U.S. states. For example, Nevada (home to Ameristar's Jackpot casino) is considering increasing its gaming taxes by 3% to raise money for public school spending.[6]
Recent smoking bans across states have also affected casino revenues. Gross revenues in Illinois casinos decreased 14% in 2008 after smoking ban legislation was passed, and attendance has decreased by almost 6%.[7] In January 2008, Colorado (home to Ameristar's Black Hawk casino, which generated 26% of the company's 2007 revenue) imposed a statewide smoking ban that includes casino floors.
Ameristar's revenues are affected by general economic conditions and are vulnerable to downturns
The gaming industry as a whole is vulnerable to economic conditions, as it decreases consumers' disposable income, leading to both fewer visitors and less spending per visitor. Indeed, the current US economic slow down, caused by the 2007 subprime mortgage crisis has already begun to affect the comapny. The Vicksburg and Council Bluffs markets have taken 4.3% and 1.5% hits to total revenue, respectively, when compared to 2006, and the St. Louis, Kansas City and Chicagoland markets saw slow revenue growth.[8] Ameristar's resorts cater to local, middle income customers whose discretionary incomes are sensitive, and adverse economic conditions take a toll on their entertainment budgets. For example, the increase in gasoline prices could negatively effect the company as most of Ameristar's customers drive to their casinos.[9] The general strategy for casinos in such economic slowdowns is to offer discounts and packages[10] to attract more customers, which does drive revenues but has an adverse effect on the company's operating margin.
Ameristar Casinos is vulnerable to increasing interest rates
Although current Interest Rates are low, the Federal Reserve is expected to increase rates soon to counter-act the weak US dollar.[11] As of 2007, Ameristar has about $1.6 billion in outstanding debt and its properties are highly leveraged.[12] This large debt is mainly due to additional borrowings to fund the acquisition of Resorts East Chicago in 2007. With the planned expansion projects, total debt will further increase, and may exceed the maximum permitted senior leverage ratio in 2008.[13]. In 2007, the company paid $77.6 million in interest costs [14], almost 44% of operating income. An increase of one percentage point in the average interest rate applicable would increase the company's annual interest cost by around $16.4 million.[15] Thus, a rise in interest rates would significantly impact Ameristar's net income and available cash. This would also limit the company's ability to finance its plan of expanding its current properties.[16]
Ameristar Casinos' revenues are affected by extreme weather conditions
As all of Ameristar's properties are located in the Midwest, they are vulnerable to adverse weather conditions such as flooding, heavy snowfall and other natural disasters. These extreme weather conditions damage casino properties, deter customers from traveling and makes it difficult for them to visit the casinos. For example, the Vicksburg property in Mississippi suffered damage and was closed for months in 2005 as a result of Hurricane Katrina.[17] The Midwest floodings in 2008 has already affected attendance at casinos in St. Louis, Illinois and Iowa, and will also affect the attendance and revenue of Ameristar's casinos.[18]
Competition
The gaming industry is highly competitive and Ameristar faces competition from both regional casinos and national chains.[19] Ameristar, however, is able to distinguish itself by providing Vegas-style resort casinos in smaller, Midwestern markets, where many larger competitors such as Wynn Resorts do not have properties. It attracts customers by providing low-limit slots (such as penny and nickel slots, which are popular among gamers), a variety of table games, good gaming facilities, multiple dining options and well known entertainers in its resorts.
Ameristar's main national competitors include:
Harrah's Entertainment (HET)
Harrah's Entertainment is the world's largest gaming company[20] and operates 50 properties globally, including in the Midwestern markets, such as Iowa and Indiana. The majority of its revenue (55%)[21] however, comes from its properties in Las Vegas and Atlantic City where Ameristar does not compete.
Boyd Gaming (BYD)
Boyd owns and operates 16 casinos in Nevada, Mississippi, Illinois, Louisiana, Indiana and Florida. Unlike MGM Mirage or Wynn Resorts, the company typically caters to the middle-income customer. However, like MGM Mirage and Harrah's, Boyd also mainly focuses on its Las Vegas properties, as only 44%[22] of its revenue is derived from operartions in the Midwestern region.
Penn National Gaming (PENN)
Penn National Gaming owns 12 casinos, 7 racetracks, and off-track betting facilities in 14 states and in Ontario, Canada. Its casinos and racetracks generate revenues primarily through house winnings in table games, slot machines, and wagers on races.
MGM MIRAGE (MGM)
MGM Mirage runs 23 hotels and casinos globally, most notably in Las Vegas and Macau, but also in the Midwest.[23]The company generates slightly less than half of its income from casino activities while lodging, dining, entertainment and retail services comrpise most of the rest. MGM also hosts major conventions and operates gambling facilities for third parties.
