Woot! That's beautiful. I have long proposed that the SEC has had a negative influence on our society because it overly protects stupid people, but then something like this comes along and restores my faith.

I made a few comments back when it happened. At that time, Acquicor's website had a completely empty front page. It existed, but gave no sign of what it was.

As I've thought about this a little bit more, I've started wondering what's the difference between buying stock in this entity, and handing money over to a mutual fund? There are some specifics about compensation for the managers, but in general it's roughly the same thing: I've no idea what to do with this money, so, here, you manage it.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
