Go home and watch American Psycho, Wall Street, Wall Street 2, Boiler Room and the Wolf of Wall Street and you'll understand the basics better than 90% of WSO users (myself included).
Please don't feed the troll.
Party hard, et see you in two years when you'll really need to start reading some stuff
investment banking for dummies covers m&a pretty well, also Barbarians at the Gate is a good read once you get the m&a basics down
Capt Needs Help - Intro to M&A (Originally Posted: 10/05/2010)
WSO - I need your help.
A friend called in a favor and asked that I present to a group of about 20 college students on the M&A process from a sell-side perspective tomorrow. Basically I need to do a high level run through of the big milestones in the auction process (CIM out, IOIs, management presentations, first round of bids, second round of bids, LOI, final diligence, closed). I could easily wing this verbally, but I'd like to have some presentation materials to put up in front of these kids. I'm totally slammed with actual work tonight, so I thought I'd ask you WSO - has anyone done a presentation like this before that could share a slide deck?
Thanks, Capt
Ill PM if I find something
