Hedge-fund Bullies —
Activist fund managers can be brutal, but there are ways

like little else, says Mark Sunshine, president and chief operating
officer of First Capital, a West Palm Beach, Florida-based firm

What Does the Buyout
Boom Mean?
March 2007
The surge in private equity makes the vehicles that investors put
their money into appear a lot like unregulated mutual funds,
says Mark Sunshine, CFO and chief operating officer of First
Capital in West Palm Beach, Fla., a firm engaged in factoring,
asset-based lending and accounts receivable for middle-market
companies. While the popular press focus during the dot-com initial
public offering (IPO) boom was on the extraordinary gains and
losses by individual investors, the vast majority of the real
investment action was in institutional money that bought speculative
equity investments in small public companies, he says.

“ I do not believe these programs
will produce the desired affect of protecting domestic
apparel and textile manufactures and their related
work forces. It is
not accurate to believe that the importation from Vietnam of apparel related
commodities has negatively impacted apparel manufacturing jobs is a natural
function of the development of the economy. If enacted,
these restrictions, whether in
the form of monitoring programs or the re-establishment of the quota system,
will cause inefficiencies in the marketplace that will hurt the U.S. domestic
