Are You Moving Forward with Opportunities?
Another interesting article today from Washington suggests M&A activities are slowed by pickier buyers. Ya Think!. Given the relative lack of significant competitive players or an urgency to avoid "letting one get away" this could be a true statement. But when will folks choose not to participate in the recession and move forward with opportunities?
Stay tuned.

Could This Proposed Rule Reshape the Real Estate Industry?
An interesting speculation was raised by David Hubler of
WashingtonTechnology.com suggesting
Northrop Grumman's decision to buy a building in the D.C. area FOR CASH is based upon a proposed accounting rule from
FASB and IASB that will change the way leases can be accounted for on corporate financial statements. Companies may be required to account for leases as a right of use (ROU) and the lease payments as a liability! Could this reshape the real estate industry and drive development?

Isn't It All About Profits and Value?
"Companies advance myriad strategies for creating value with acquisitions - buy only a handful are likely to do so." and then indicates the five types of successful acquisitions are generated through "...improving the performance of the target company, removing excess capacity from an industry, creating market access for products, acquiring skills or technologies more quickly or at lower cost than they could be built in-house, and picking winners early and helping them develop their businesses."
Mike Nall of AMAA points out these facts but at the end of the day....isn't it all about profits and value?
