RE: M&A continues..can the doomsday lovers tell me how this is still going on? Why are these companies spending billions of dollars merging and acquiring other companies in a horrible horrible time right now? When according to you guys, these companies could've saved billions of dollars if they had waited till a little while when everything will collapse according to you guys?? ========== not doubting you guys, i can't because markets are horrible.. but do the CEO's and board members of these major companies not know what's going on in the market??? ========== well i think otherwise.. i think they have a good damn clue of what is going on and what will happen in the future..
