Enron lenders back plan for second life after bankruptcy
Embattled Enron Corp. may rise as a smaller trader with new management and a partner bank, said John Olsen of Sanders Morris Harris. Enron shares jumped 118 percent to 87 cents after $1.5 billion in short term financing secured as bankruptcy protection began. U.S. Steel, the largest domestic steelmaker, discussed merging with three peers to save the industry, involving Bethlehem and Wheeling-Pittsburgh and others with government and union support.
