mergers

One of the big problems with the current financial crisis is that banks aren't giving loans to qualified borrowers anymore. Yadda, yadda, yadda, dreaded 'credit crunch' ensues. But, as some secretive New York Times reporting recently revealed, some banks are less concerned with that and more concerned with buying out all their competitors.

Dudes, seriously?

consensus is that Goldman and Morgan will be merging with commercial banks.

Wells Fargo is the only AAA and Buffet loves it (Berkshire Hathaway has a huge stake). Does anyone think his $5bn stake in Goldman foreshadows a merger?

And what about MS? They tried with WaMu last week and it didn't go through (thankfully). I've heard a lot about Wachovia picking them up. Thoughts?

Hi,

Can someone please direct me to a website where I can gather information about Transactions that have happened within the last 12 months? This is for a comp I am running on a Quick service Food company.

Thank you,
