LAST month, as Henry R. Kravis, the co-founder of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company, and his wife, Marie-Josée, took their seats at the Water Cube in Beijing for a session of synchronized diving at the Olympics, they quickly recognized a couple sitting nearby: Stephen A. Schwarzman, the co-founder of the Blackstone Group, and his wife, Christine Hearst.
For a brief moment, there was an awkward pause as the longtime rivals took stock of each other. Then both men cracked smiles, and Mr. Schwarzman extended his hand, congratulating Mr. Kravis on his latest move: an attempt to take K.K.R. public despite a stock market mired in uncertainty and fear.

Wow you are certainly the work horse with posts today, eh Bess? Did Carney’s head explode over the GSE takeovers and all his wild posts this weekend?
Don’t let’em treat/beat you like a rented mule!

I think I’d put my money on the old timer, when it comes to knowing when and when not to sell.
sham-wow 3rd
sounds like a couple of old fuckers who should retire.
Did Kravis and his wife have a sham-wow with them? All the divers use them.

Too long, didn’t réad.
here’s a question: how come the same people have been posting the same job with the current date under keyword “excel/vba” all summer long?
Ummm… Didn’t Schwarzman do pretty much the exact same thing last summer?
No. Schwarzman got Blackstone to IPO before people got all jittery about the credit crunch, took hundreds of millions for himself, and gave a fuck about its anemic performance. KKR can’t even get shit off the ground, so no, Schwarzman did not do pretty much the exact same thing.
