RE:RE:RE:RE:WSJ Article - courtesy MSN.COMAs it stands today, Carlyle Group is probably committing to $4B for $300MM in profits, or in other words, they are plopping down each Billion for the rights to $75mm in profits.
So the question and investment thesis becomes,
why wouldn't they plop down $2B to gain the rights on an additional $300mm in profits,
or in other words, each billion for the rights to $150mm in profits?
Doesn't seem absurd to me.
