Where were the big merger announcements on Monday? Week after week, the market fed on M&A deals and Private Equity mania to get the positive vibes going. In fact, it felt like investors were coming to expect them and when it didn’t happen this week, the bids fell out. I have been trying to ignore financial media for a few days, so maybe I missed someone else wondering where they went. Am I the only one that noticed? - I doubt it. I am not a fan of merger hype so I don’t feel so bad about not getting some action on this front. Besides, it’s only 5 more days until the next opportunity!
