Just Not Quick Enough On The Trigger

By Equity Private

I fear I have bad tidings, everyone. KKR’s much anticipated IPO is… delayed. It brings me great sadness to bring you the news. Truly. If nothing else, we were really looking forward to the speculation that was sure to swirl around the details of the IPO party. But then, KKR has been two steps behind on one level or another since… oh… 1988.

    Why oh why in the world would they like to go public? I know K wants to swing his dick at crab hands, but just…what’s the fucking point?

    I thought someone posted on here that EP was in fact the daughter of K, K, or R?

    Just do what Epstein would do, when they’re not paying attention, slip it in the back door.
    Draw down the revolver on your portfolio companies and pay yourself a nice dividend Henry. That’ll teach the banks to not underwrite your IPO. You didn’t get those fat RP baskets for nothing.

    Dear Mr. Kravis,
    This is Ravi from India. I’m still interested in working for you. To remind you – I’m a first year student at Wharton MBA, having turned down an offer from Chicago GSB. How may I demonstrate my superior intellectual and GMAT taking ability and skill in cooking curry to you so as to work for you?
