Interesting discussion on "private equity" (w/Public money) vs venture equity. What happens if we remove all the Public Funding/Taxpayer money from their little "private" game?
They're ridiculously wealthy. Why aren't they investing their own money? How can they get a cap gains tax rate on any returns which aren't from their own private investment funds?
Private equity and venture capital are not tax payers money....
You should go learn how they work before you make a post.
Stupidita,
AGAIN, you don't have a clue about business!!! Tell me, WHERE does private equity get its money? You don't REALLY think that it all belongs to the CEO do you? You don't believe that there might be some state pension money in there somewhere?
1. Private Equity is a group of investors and funds that buy into companies that are not publicly held or traded on any stock exchange. The money comes from people that invest in the Private Equity companies.
2. Venture Capital is a group of investors that invest is start up companies, high risk industry's, high tech companies, bio-tech, etc. The money comes from people that invest in Venture Capital companies.
It's called "Capitalism"...
Has nothing to do with tax payer money what so ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupidita,
Well, at least this is a start! You are actually using a dictionary to look up some of the words you are throwing around! But what do state pension funds usually buy???? Now go look up the word "bonds" and how they are related to private equity and venture capitalism!
Ah I have my series 4, 7, 55, 62. My 215 FL.
Furthermore I work in my family's business a contract machine shop, long & short run production, prototyping, tool & cutter grinding and custom tooling. and we employ at the moment 75 people.
Whats in your war chest ???
MS in engineering, worked mostly law/code enforcement all my career. I used to work for a state and when that state lost about half my pension due to some bad investments, I figured I needed to understand the stock market for my self. Been following it ever since.
MSME my self.
AHA!!! Then I KNOW you can explain your positions with thought and insight!! That is all I'm asking!! Who knows- we may have common ground somewhere - maybe we aren't so polarized after all! I'm certainly no fan of President Obama but no one has been able to show me anything that Romney or the Republicans would do that would be better!!
You have guts using the screenname you do!! I'm absolutely SURE there is more to you than "hit and run" comments!!
I would love to hear more discussion regarding the success/failure of Michigan's emergency financial manager installations. Does Bill Black have any thoughts on the matter? Chris?
It is sometimes difficult for me to get up at 5:00 (West Coast) to watch even if this is the best Sunday morning show. It sure would be nice to have it on a podcast like so many of the other MSNBC shows are. That way I could listen to it while I bicycle to work or bicycle home or bicycle to the store or force me to bicycle just for the fun of it. Please podcast this show.
Hayes is a joke at best, his show is nothing more than how much he hates capitalism, the republicans, anyone that challenges him, he is so self-absorbed. it all most makes you sick to watch him.
According to hayes, he is right and everyone else is dead wrong.
Auntie I beleive Romneycare was the idea of a brainiac at MIT. Also read that the Heritage foundation also promoted these ideas for health care
my sympathies to you for wasting valuable minutes of your life talking the Stephen Moore. I have seen him on many shows, and he never has deviated from the trickle-down line once.
