Some thoughts..

Dear Amigos
I am in the middle of my final year project on private equity. Now that I have corrected some structural defects, my essay seems to be back on track. In this intermission I intend to share some of my thoughts on this topic with you guys.

Well to start the current private equity regime is fraught with various problems. This has raised concerns for various stakeholders such as investors in private equity firms as well as society. Therefore these motherfuckers essentially campaign for this framework to be regulated. These regulations essentially require disclosure of financial information, data collection methods, investment tactics, corporate structure details, etc. At the moment there are no regulations but should there be?

I am not particularly fond of regulations because they contradict the very basis of privacy. Certainly this concept is inextricably linked with the term 'private equity' itself. Secrecy is the very reason why this investment vehicle can operate in the first place and any breaches will impinge on the efficacy of this arrangement. Apart from the obvious consequences (i.e profit loss) on private equity firms, there is a wider problem which undermines a fundamental tenet of my beliefs. This has to deal with the spirit of entrepreneurship.

Every motherfucker on this planet wants to have a shot at success. Think about the aspiring rapper roaming the streets of the bronx and the struggling student sweating over his A Levels. Such ordinary people are the ones who have devised this investment strategy to help them hop from rags to riches. These people epitomize innovation so why stifle them? Instead we should celebrate and honor their efforts.

Yet this is not the case because people are selfish. While this is not a fundamentally immoral concept it is what drives the movement for regulations. Investors in private equity firms simply want more data to assess their chances and limit any potential consequences involved. Society is no better. Most arguments base their strengths on the 'profound' effects on the vox populi. It is true that in life nobody wants to suffer and will do whatever it takes to avoid that. However this view is extremely biased. I'm pretty sure that if one of these plebians strike it rich as a private equity entrepreneur they would keep their mouths shut.

Well yeah what i mean to say is that the world can sometimes be unkind to the pursuits of mankind. I do not like that. Even though such goals are inherently self centered, at least they are worthy of intellectual admiration. The private equity framework is simply a brilliant and stunning product of the human race. I hope that we can emulate such heros and demolish the ever bolstering stronghold of wealth protectionism in this age. Let us do what it takes, within moral limits, to achieve that goal amigos.

On a totally unrelated note... i thought that my topic was havoc since it analyzes the impact of these investments on football... but i've thought of something even more havoc... the implications of such investments in the porn industry on society. hahaha
