  2. A private equity firm tends to purchase a going concern or something of value. In other words, they don't have to keep buying/selling entities to make money, they purchase a business that generates cash flow from it's business function.

    Not all PE teams are created equal...it's up to the investor to decide who is the real deal and who isn't.

    :D

  3. The money will come when you've got Dumya in your pocket. Cerberus hires Snow > Cerberus buys all the coated paper business it can > Dumya declares coated-paper tariffs against China.
