a bit expensive.

Also, why would you expect the chinses to be experts just coz they invested 3 Billion. thats barely a weeks worth of trade surplus for them.

Historically, foreigners have always bought at the top of the market in any US asset class.

Once the liquidity thats sloshing around the global starts to dry up, this whole scheme might fall apart.

They are leader in private equity investing. They have raised $34b capital. They have invested in 100 plus companies. China has invested in their IPO, which also opens up the rigid Chinese mkt to Blackstone. With all these factors ita a hot property...i see the stock reaching 50$ soon... Fascinating story.
