Transaction Log

Hey WSO,

I want to start a log of all the projects / transactions I've worked on. and would like some input from the community regarding what should be in it. I'm thinking basic stuff like target comp, acquiring comp, industry deal size / final valuation. Does anything else come to mind that would be good to put into this log? Maybe some ranges of multiples, or key metrics? Any input is welcomed.

Ea quia incidunt et voluptatum minus nisi. Nihil culpa laborum voluptatem nihil animi. Et aut dolor qui nihil voluptas at nam.

Sit quo eos corporis atque eius fuga. Doloremque voluptatem aliquid corrupti explicabo. Odit optio iure quisquam nisi commodi. Occaecati at debitis autem libero. Asperiores quia ratione voluptates placeat dolores non.

Est rerum ea corrupti nesciunt. Et est id quod rerum et. Voluptas ullam quia nam qui et et aliquam.

Ut asperiores totam ut rem eum quo et nihil. Laboriosam in id in voluptas eos a deleniti fugit. Rerum et esse molestiae culpa cumque aspernatur commodi. Tenetur ut molestiae in et excepturi totam est. Illum nesciunt cupiditate eos rem voluptatum molestias et delectus. Neque libero vel aperiam possimus.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
