They're selling off the management intensive businesses ... bank, healthcare and I've heard, some "suppliers".

Looks suspiciously like preparation for a sale. I used to think the tax implications were a protection against that, but I no longer see that as an obstacle ... there are ways around that. I'm guessing the family will sell off the entirety of their commercial holdings to PE, which effectively puts PE in charge of The Villages.

Not to be controversial or an instigator, but I have plenty of popcorn available.

Just buy stock in all the P.E. companies and grow rich. LOL

To safeguard the community we have decided to buy the holding company that runs the Villages.

In order to get in at the ground floor of this amazing opportunity we will sell shares in this upcoming venture that should make us rich.
