Haiku #110

Private Equity -
Busy chaps, no time to read,
buy Readers Digest.

  1. Private Equity
    can't read the signs of the times
    or learn from the past.

    Private Equity's
    use of debt to buy futures
    made the public squirm.

    but

    Unwinding leverage
    to block Private Equity -
    punitive and wrong.

  3. Haiku and economics seldom go together in my mind, or didn't until now.

    Would it be nice of all economic theory were turned into poetry?

    I wouldn't understand it any better but I'd enjoy it more.

  6. All
    A really interesting collection, this thanks everyone.

    KassWhat about renaming yourself - Haiku is us, perhaps? Three good ones here.

    Tabor and Barryboth adding to the interest with observations on Haiku and economics - maybe something to look into there?

    And the bottom line is... from The Turning Point!
