Don't Act Like You Weren't Begging For It

blackstoneiposecondayfirstdaypopletdisapointingipoperformancedownwarddowndowndown.JPG Blackstone closed yesterday below $20. Right this second, it's at $18.45. I bet a lot of you are saying to yourselves, "Yeah, and? No big d." That's because you're one dimensional thinkers. This is a big d, for four* reasons. 1. Blackstone IPO looks more and more like the physical manifestation of the top tick on the private equity bubble. 2. The Chinese, pissed at buying 8.7 percent of this garbage, now have yet another reason for an arms race with the U.S. 3. It means the follow-up to the bukkake party of IPOs was a bust, and all those yelling "Buy shares on my face! Buy shares on my face!" last spring are now suffering from PCD (that's Post Coital Depression** to those who, I have no idea why, don't know). 4. CRAB HANDS, THE GRAPHIC.

*The first three don't really count, I just like the build-up.
**NB: That's a Hahn-ism you're reading right there.

@3:44, dude you better be in for at least 5 shares of Berkshire A shares if you want to do anything on Bess' face. I'm afraid you're probably closer to buying 5 shares of CFC though.

useless statement. stating the obvious and missing the hidden points.
and the chinese "pissed"? because of lousy 3bn?? man, wake up!! they "lost" ten times as much by buying t-bonds.
you have no idea what you are talking about, so all that you achieve is making some childish noise.
give me a break.

Posted by , Jan 09, 2008 12:21PM

12:19-- did you not read the "*The first three don't really count, I just like the build-up." moron. all that YOU have achieved is showing us your idiocy. give us a break.
