As an M&A analyst I'm not really scared. Everyone has an opinion. There are lots who say that M&A is the way to be and others that wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot pole.
Bill Cowan is a disgruntled former banker, who got canned from Lazard's M&A group. I wouldn't take what he writes too seriously.
If M&A was a declining business, fees would be squeezed. I can tell you that, if anything, clients are paying more than ever for M&A advice, and the market tends to speak.
They say the Sexier deals are done and the four year ride on Cool deals is over!! They say the main deals that are going to be in the spotlight are going to be chemical and steel transactions........Says who???? LOL!!! I am still very interested in M & A and all that it has to offer.
