She said I shouldn't say what her name was. She sounded very smart, but I wasn't sure that she wasn't trying to trick me. I don't accept your revenge theory. It just escalates. If I killed his dog and defecated on his lawn, he would do something worse back. It doesn't make sense. The only way to solve the problem is to negotiate with the person or kill him. As Stalin said, "No man, no problem". But that's no good in normal life or here.

Thanks very much for your helpful advice, but, as I said, it goes against the grain with me to have to build a fence to keep someone else's dog off my lawn. As Leslie Fiedler once said, "There has to be a better way!" I appreciate your helpfulness. Please tell me, if you don't mind my asking: Which group are you from, alt.horror or alt.flame?

Well, start by lending some money to a deadbeat Ninja (no income, no job, no assets) like Shitlet. Then you "package" this debt with similar junk, and sell it on to a hotshot as fast as you can. Call it "The Enhanced High-Leverage Performance Fund", or something like that.

I was in a meeting last week where some financing thing came up at 9% above LIBOR for a fairly high risk situation. I thought that was pretty cheap, given that their pref shares were getting like 5% over and the debt quality was somewhere around B/CCC. Can you guess how they managed the risk?

That or a put option would be good short term hedges, but it's not publically traded in this case,and the debt was over 2-3 years. They went in the other direction. They wanted a 1% chunk of the exit price as a "final fee", as-and-when, as upside, instead of a few extra % points on the debt today. They had no interest in carrying equity. I guess you could say this is somethind similar to a PE/VC fund's carried interest. Quite clever really, that 1% could be worth a sackload more on a $500-800M exit than a few extra points today on a piddling $20M, and in any case the debt holder controls the company if things go tits up so the default risk is manageable. I've started calling it "venture credit". Suzie -- Suzieflame alt.horror Spanks so far:- Andy ReVulse SPANK & BAR Dr Tom Chadwin Walpurgis SPANK Dark Angel SPANK The White Lady SPANK Bod SPANK
