What Is Private Equity?
Private equity refers to firms that put big chunks of cash from sources such as pension funds or endowments into buying not publicly traded and (often) faltering businesses or assets and selling them for a profit. Private equity invests in a wide variety of industries. It is an asset class consisting of equity securities and debt in operating companies that are on a stock exchange. A private equity investment will generally be made by a private equity firm, a venture capital firm or an angel investor.
Just over six years after the Dodd-Frank Act became effective, private equity firms impacted by the law could get some relief if a bill they’ve championed makes it through an upcoming vote in the House of Representatives. (September, 2016).
After the 2008 financial crisis, private equity took a hit from federal regulators. Beforehand, they faced little oversight. Afterward, they suddenly found themselves with a bunch of new regulatory exams and reporting obligations. While they can play some risky games PEs aren’t as regulated as your normal bank.
PE firms make money off of deals by taking 2 percent of the money it manages and a 20 percent (commission) of the profits above a certain baseline.
What Is Dodd-Frank?
Dodd-Frank was a Wall Street reform bill that was thought up after the 2008 financial crisis to try and avoid a repeat of that disaster. It was the first major change to federal financial regulations in the United States since reforms that came just after the Great Depression.
While it had plenty of critics, it has been championed by many who point out that it succeeded in at least some ways. The SEC reportedly has been taking action against private equity firms lately, including at least one crack down on an adviser who decided not to register as a broker (brokers with more than 15 clients need to register). That case was settled.
Opponents of the House bill point to those successes as reason to keep the rules how they are and not to loosen them.
What Does This New Bill Do?
OK, so it isn’t a repeal of Dodd-Frank, but it does loosen requirements for private equity firms when it comes to what information they have to provide to the SEC. That includes, most importantly, loosened rules for reporting what types of commodities the firms are buying and who is running the show as an adviser.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Since pi is not launched yet in any exchange. The only way you can sell right now is through merchants.
A verified Pi merchant is someone who buys pi network coins from miners and resell them to investors looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before mainnet launch in 2026.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.
Tele-gram.

come from?

all boats

are hot...until they’re not.

pull it off

Some data
Co-workers: 60% more likely to invest, but returns -18%
Same ethnicity: 20% more likely to invest, but -25% to IPO
investment

adds 9% to likelihood of IPO

28. Value of
crowdfunding
• access to deals
• previously high minimums
made portfolio building too
expensive, giving angel
investing a bad rap
