A highlight of last week was my Jor-El like forebodings regarding Planet Krypton -- I mean on private equity.

That evening, I discussed why private equity was doomed on CNBC's "Fast Money" with Dylan Ratigan.

Yesterday, both the New York Post and The New York Times followed up with similar concerns.

Today, The Wall Street Journal's "Private Equity Draws the Cold Shoulder" embraces the notion that there is deep trouble in the private equity community.

I'll continue to try to stay ahead of that crowd!
