If valuations are reasonable and management is taking 10% off the top it isn't hard to make minor changes a AND stop the executive theft and you come out of the doors looking pretty good as an IPO. Good point. IMO, I'm flabbergasted by the executive compensation packages we've seen profliferate over the years, usually at shareholder expense by a compliant BofD. Look at Home Depot, which has obviously been in the news of late... biz.yahoo.com This is ridiculous. Just as the back-dating of options is criminal behavior.. But of course, one of my major peeves is the SEC's inability to perceive Naked Short Selling as the counterfeiting of stock shares. So, I guess if we're seeing private equity buyouts as a means of quelling some of excesses on the part of intransigent corporate management, then maybe it's a good thing. Hawk
