How many deals would you look at before landing one?

How many deals did you spend a day on, a week on, a month on, before pulling the trigger/winning a bid?

Did you enjoy the process of looking at so many companies or mostly fed up with looking at so many and not pulling the trigger?

Anyone decide to make the leap to a HF because they could invest in 25 companies a year vs. maybe 1-3?
