One point: When the company is going to go down, the first stake holder preference will be given to the private equity holders ahead of general share holders.

It depends upon how the private equity is looked at.

These PE's are using the companies they buy to borrow money beyond their ability to pay back, eliminate customer support, R&D and other long term investments to bring in short term gain. These companies will be going bankrupt soon. Guard your eggs well.

hahah i couldnt care less. the funny thing is your trying to insult a 17yr old. shows how weak an inappropriate you are. some could actually call it child abuse. i wasnt responding on her behalf, and yes she is more than capable, and you say im inappropriate! haha im 17 of course im inappropriate.

further replies from you... i hope to get none because you will have come to realise how much of a smart assed buisness man with nothing better to do than attempt to insult me.

If KW is your mother then your actions, language and self-expression are weak and inappropriate. Your mother has responded to me personally in a highly intelligent and effective manner via email.

KW does not need a silverspoon Mummy's boy to emotionally respond to me on her behalf. She is more than capable.

Now go out in the world and stake a claim and leave mummy's money alone. That's the mark of a man.

Further replies from you will be ignored.

and thats alot more money than you get, so stop trying. just give up mate, you got nothing compared to my mum except enough time on your hands to whine about her industry.

i sound like a woman do i?? well i can tell you i'm Katherine woodthorpe's SON for a start. im sure i get many more good looking women than you do, and have a life your the one obviously wasting time and being unproductive by commenting a video my mother wont even read as she is too busy earning too much money. so shut up and GET A LIFE!

[Standardfrank]

You sound like a woman:

Your comments are time wasting, unproductive and baseless. Your sureties are irrelevant and your contexts lame. Before you assume your duties as as annonymous keyboard jockey study the context matter before spouting off irrational emotionalisms. And finally, I am a producer, I rather not have a time wasting life like yours.

ok for a start learn how to spell my mums name, and far out im pretty sure she earns a hell of a lot more money than you and has social capabilities and doesnt sit in her office all day with nothing to do but post comments on youtube about what you think about avcal. So basically get a life man.
