around.

Maybe. Platinum Equity specializes in LBO's. More likely, the new owners
will sell off the assets of a number of brand names it bought, and
borrow to the degree possible off the rest of the brand
names/factories/tangible assets, and saddle them with more debt than
they have now. Think..."junk bonds."

I see Harry and a non-boater are trashing your boating thread, Tim.
Let me apologize for them, and add some content.
If 'Bama had bailed out Genmar, their assets wouldn't have ended up with
the Wall Street ponzi guys.
Why didn't he bail out Genmar?
1. Genmar workers are non-union, so losing their jobs isn't a tragedy.
2. Geithner and Bernacke wanted Wall Street to get the pieces cheap.

'Bama - pro-union and pro Wall Street. Ying and Yang, Sweet and Sour.
We've come to a hell of place since Ike.
Thanks for the opportunity to talk about boats.

Too bad you're ignorant.

Too bad you are anti-American. I used to admire the US as a great
nation where hard work, integrity, honor and liberty meant something.
Today the crooks and debtors run the country into the ground and liberal
people follow the Pied Piper. When in fact, just selfish leachs looking
for a free lunch, willing to sell their liberty for a talk a lot promise.

Sure. I'm anti-American because I live here, pay my taxes, and want us to
succeed, including helping those less fortunately... while you're unable to
even enter the US. Sure.
