This guy has a really negative and biased view about Leveraged Buy Out's (LBOs)
If you look back for years there are many examples where LBO's have led to higher operative efficieny, to value creations and to better corporate governance. Here are some contributions of MarketObservation in the past:
MarketObservation: Bedeutung von LBO's

The view is extreme. However, the view is focused on LBO's, which currently is in fact a difficult segment. I hardly see any value in deals made by investment bankers and where the return mainly comes from financial engineering and the consequent attempt to deleverage.
But there are also buy out firms with a lot of industrial expertise. These are the ones to look at in the future.
