    Private investors are (usually, and theoretically) more “long-term” motivated than the public markets. Day traders and rotating board members love quarterly boosts even if it implodes the company, but with private equity, passing a bag of shit to someone else isn’t so easy, and desires aren’t so fickle.

    Hence I suspect you’re right.

      Can you give same examples of such privately owned companies which are long term focussed?
