Not all PE/venture capital firms are necessarily corporate raiders, which is what Bain has been accused of by Romney's political adversaries. So...
If that is indeed the unvarnished truth, then it will hold Romney in good stead. In the same way that Gingrich's hit piece should be subject to...
Just in case, of course, try to make sure in advance that you're not allergic to crow. That would be most unpleasant.
Yes, but remember when, years ago, he was slapped to the ground a couple of times by a pro wrestler? I think it may have shorted a circuit or two.
I think this is a point that is often overlooked by some people here at ET.
Thank you. I'll try to do so by this weekend. I only had one or two more follow-up questions from where we left off.
Fair enough. But let's not overlook that Romney has resorted to some "scare tactics" against Obama and all the evil that he do. Admittedly, in...
So are you going to allow me to ask you a few more questions in the ACD thread to get to a better point of distillation? As you may recall, I...

The nurse gets it right, so take note. The illiquidity of the instruments resulted in LTCM not being able to exit well. However, it was the...
Not as different as you may think. The excessive leverage was exacerbated by the illiquidity of their chosen instruments. It was the extreme...
Are you sure? Weren't some of these companies already successful before the fact, with their being targeted largely due to their being vulnerable...
No. I quoted my post, the one in response to Lucrum.
I think you should read more about him and his motivations before you draw conclusions about a very complex man. He is largely demonized for...

That's all well and good, but you left your own residue with your chosen wording in your earlier post that I quoted. And I don't believe RCG is...
