A little misdirection from the masters at the Black Tower:

In context of China investment clever move. I'd like to sell this "rally."

Blackstone wants to raise another mega buyout fund in this environment, but the China deal is starting to look like the Wasserstein Perella deal that Nomura got into in 1988:

With Japan riding high as a premier economic power, no company stands a better chance of dominating global finance than Nomura.

Nomura took a giant step toward realizing that goal last week, stunning Wall Street with a move to become a major player in the U.S. mergers-and- acquisitions game. The company said it was paying $100 million for 20% of the hot, new Manhattan investment firm started six months ago by Bruce Wasserstein and Joseph Perella, the Wall Street wizards who built First Boston's merger department into one of the best in the business and then left to strike out on their own.
