Ah, but stock market investors also like cash making business machines.

If private equity is able to outbid the stock market, they must have spotted a way they can extract more value. Sometimes that's by raiding the pension fund and cranking up prices. Other times it's a distressed business and better management can turn it around.

Neither is exactly good news for customers.
