    I think so. I also don't trust emotional gun nuts. Ah, , that leaves CC out too.
    You've got me confused with someone else. I don't welsh.

    So what is the max bet you will accept with your given odds?

    More like he let his alligator mouth overload his parakeet ass and himself when he had real bets coming his way.

    My $100 offer still stands if he has the balls to back up his mouth.

    Look at these two old men rubbing each other's balls. The point was that the carried interest loophole has little chance of being closed, but the larger point was Donald doesn't have the power that the school of post-election Trumpistas who have flooded in seem to think he has.

    Why would I pee myself as a result of a couple of old men not grasping an analogy I made in an internet messgae board?

    Odds are that he eliminates the carries interest loophole. It's back up to 2%. Let me know if you wanna piece.
    I'll take $100 dollars, 100-2 odds, 2 year deadline. That means you owe me $5,000 if you lose.


    That's an analogy?

    No. That's how I deal with trolls like DMC. He wanted to take my analogy literally so I play along. He's not interested in dialogue and doesn't warrant a serious response.

    Donald Trump has vowed to kill one of Wall Street’s favorite tax loopholes. A closer look reveals his efforts could produce even more upside for private equity’s richest power players.


    Trump's talk of killing the private equity industry's carried interest tax deduction has generated major headlines, but if it comes with broader tax reform it could create the biggest opportunity for the industry since firms like Apollo, Blackstone, Carlyle and KKR listed their shares on public stock markets. Lowering corporate and individual tax rates could give private equity firms reason to convert from tax-avoiding pass through partnerships into ordinary corporations, opening up their shares to a far broader investor base.

    The carried interest deduction allows private equity to use this structure to avoid double taxation on winning investments.

    But the tax shield also relegates these firms to stock market backwaters because it saddles investors with complex K-1 tax forms. Furthermore, it keeps firms like Apollo and Blackstone off of major stock market indices such as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average, and outside of sector groupings.


    “We've avoided in the past the double taxation and that's what drove us to the [pass-through-partnership]," Apollo CEO Leon Black said at a Goldman Sachs conference last week. "But if rates come down a bunch in that doubling of taxation it may not be the worst thing in the world given that in a corporate form we're a much less complicated en y," he said. As an ordinary public corporation, “you don't have the whole K-1 situation. I think we'd have a much broader investor base which would be good for the stock. I think we could get into a financial index group,” Black added. Apollo declined to comment, as did Blackstone, Carlyle and KKR.

    "Private equity stocks are one of the cheapest parts of the entire market,” says Bill Miller IV, portfolio manager of the $100 million LMM Income Opportunity Fund and an investor in Apollo, Blackstone, Carlyle and Fortress. "All of them are worth roughly 50%-to-100% more on an intrinsic value basis to where they are trading today."
