Maybe, but why?

Thinking about it, that is a very original and provocative insight that certainly never dawned on me. You might have a very good point in that you have a bunch of operating units headed by operation types, and Mssrs. Winnick and Casey allocate the capital to the operating units. That might be exactly what the money guys have in mind. Thank you for a stimulating suggestion.

Thinking about it some more, yours is a brilliant insight. It might just go down that way. There is a compelling logic to your hypothesis, given the specialization of the various parties. Wow, I've got a lot to think about here. Again, thank you.

You know, that could be a lot of IPO's that would potentially raise lots and lots of capital, particularly if the first regionals were successful. Decentralization, the operating guys doing what they do, the financial guys doing what they do. A brilliant idea. Who are you? Some kinda genius? Bless your imagination. Food for thought is as important, more important given normal civilization, than food.
