Private Equity's Boom celine micro
luggage handbag Now Busting
1) PE firms are getting more and more short term lately. In the good old
days, PE firms more http://www.celinehandbagse.com/ focused on
improving the acquired firms long term. They took a long time to aim (improve)
then fire (sell). These days, PE firms fire first before aiming, seeking a very
quick cashout. In such short term, there is no way to improve the company
materially, and what they do is basically to jack up both sides of the balance
sheet, increasing asset and liability, then cashing out on the asset and dumping
the liability to the public by IPO. The problem is during an unfriendly credit
tightening market like now, the public is holding the bag of those low quality
and risky bonds while the PE partners are cashing out with vast celine trapeze
handbagwealth in hand.
2) There is a very wide disparity on tax rates. A normal business, such as
real estate developer, they pay normal and full tax by buying and selling
properties. However, according to the latest Fortune (August 6) article "More
Sugar for Schwarzman", due celine trio
to a tax loophole, PE partners are not even paying the 15% dividend tax rate as
we thought, but 7% tax on their IPO cashout profit (by getting paid back on the
tax deductible of 85% of goodwill which effectively lowers Blackstone partners
from 15% to 7% on their taxes). No wonder we see in the US that income
distribution has become more skewed toward the top few rich and shift more of
the tax burdens to the middle class the poor (average taxpayers).
3) The current tax system encourages higher debt since interest on debt is
tax deductible, which encourages PE firms to increase debt thus interest
deductible until little or no corporate tax is paid. At the short term basis,
this approach actually adds no value to the business and society overall but
only risk to the public who is holding the debt. When many of these bonds are
being downgraded from double A to double B recently, with widening of the credit
spread and tightening of the PE funding, suddenly the public has celine classic box
bag suffered a large paper loss and taken a lot more risk.
4) The recent PE boom reminds me about the junk bond boom in the 80s. With
the junk bond market crashing, Savings Loans under crisis, liquidity suddenly
drying up, refinancing becoming celine mini
belta pipe dream, we saw major defaults on loans and lots of
reorganization. Currently with the quick widening of credit spread (rating
agencies from risk taking to risk averse), drying up of PE funding, lowering of
corporate profit margin, possible declining P/E trend, we can see not only many
potential highly leveraged deals going nowhere, but also more importantly many
finished deals will suffer heavy losses in the future celine cabas
tote due to the wrong assumptions in their models.
A few months ago every institution was lining up to buy those AA loans, but
now they can't wait to flee to avoid the same loans rated BB now. It is noted
that in the 80s one large bank (Drexel) along with its junk bond king failed and
was being blamed on the whole S crisis while public and celine
mini government were holding the bag and lost billions. This time, it is
very interesting to see whether any major bank and PE firm will fail (Bear
Stearns, Blackstone, KKR, Carlyle, any volunteer?).
