No need to worry about them bring that to market, remember?... Hirepool is "too good to sell"

Direct Capital sell down in Scales seems to have been ok for new shareholders
Not all private equity are evil as we seem to make out

Seems ok... so far (I personally am not to keen on them...)
Then again, I think Summerset was also listed by private equity at $1?

I haven't really followed it, but my understanding is they bought the company, stripped all the inventory and listed it with things looking good on the balance sheet etc, hiding the fact they'd destroyed inventory levels. Then forked it off for a huge sum, IMHO effectively stealing from uninformed investors.
Perhaps investors are to blame but I really think this practice needs to be stopped, perhaps via independent auditors who are held financially liable for anything they miss who in turn can charge the PE firms appropriate large fees.
It's a con and it should be illegal.
Disc; dont hold, never have, so not a sour/burnt holder, just think it's wrong.
How can Anchorage be guilty of some "cunning plot"? You could see EXACTLY what the playbook was simply by looking through the shops.
Seriously, there are some investments you need to be smart to either do or avoid.
This was not one of them.

Then ask them why they changed their mind?.!..lol.

Me too. I pretty much knew the destiny of this one the day it IPO'd. But if you asked me last week if it would have gone broke this week, I'd have said no way.
Maybe the banks have a role to play in the year ahead?

Yep. That's their game...sell the good and the bad....but make them all look good. How else could they sell the bad ones. Buyer beware.
