Ex-Lehman Trader SOUNDS ALARM on Private Equity BUBBLE

There is an equal market chance associated with each crash or collapse. I have seen people accumulate up to $1 million during a crisis, and even make it work in a strong economy if they are prepared and well-informed. Without a doubt, the bubble/collapse is making someone wealthy.

Sagaar and Krystal ... give James Li an official segment on your show already!

A private equity firm had bought up various hospitals near where I grew up in Pennsylvania. They gutted them slowly over the years, even selling off the land the hospital is on, while the CEO pulled in 90 million a year. They just closed the hospital recently and now over half a million people are left with two operational hospitals. Lines for ambulances can reach 45 minutes just to drop off patients. It's absolutely criminal what these firms are doing.

Down 50%, $70K in the red. Only wins lately are blink-and-you-miss-it trades or shorting. Do I bail or ride this chaos out?

Private equity is a poison to our economy.

If the US bails out Private Equity after all the damage it has done to this nation and Americans it absolutely deserves what comes next - it's end.

A private equity firm bought the company I work for 4 years ago. It was a publicly traded company, so shareholders got a premium on the payout when they bought us. They tried to break up the company and sell it for parts, but found they couldn't do that as no one wanted the individual lines of business separately. It's more valuable in the end as a whole. TBH, they seem to not know what they are doing in the end. Vultures of industry.

PE firms need some legal leashes, they are a menace to the economy.

I worked for a larger family owned HVACR company that was purchased by a Private equity firm a few years back. I seen the signs and fought back against them cutting everything. I now work for another company that is still family owned.

Private equity already ruined Hudsons Bay, a canadian institution of over 600 years. If they can wreck that, its a bad sign.
