DealBreaker Financial Tools™

Posted by , Apr 27, 2006, 11:05am

In keeping with our continuing coverage of the "New, New Economy" we have begun collecting a series of mergers and acquisitions analysis and valuation tools. Cumulatively, we expect these will give the modern investment banker a goodly number of financial arrows in her quiver. On Tuesday, we formalized the Idov Multiple. Today we bring you the Kanige Chaos Theory of M&A due diligence.

(You're welcome.)

Eventually, we expect that bankers who do not have these tools will be left behind in the fast-paced financial world, shortfalling $200 million dollar valuations of commerciablog firms and executing poorly vetted $500 million acquisitions of bricks and mortar publishing firms silly enough to sign a teenaged author.

You should give up, this website is just not very good

Other things which should have been given up because they were not incredible out of the box.

1) Air Planes, in a time of zeppelins
2) The Internet with 2700 baud modems
3) Me as a professional
4) Fark.com
5) Sex with gazelles

Johnny, that response was completely worthless.

Re:
1. Hah, you said zeppelin, how endearingly obscure. ...
2. 2600 baud, thanks.
3. Most likely laughable.
4. By no means a trailblazer, was better two years ago.
5. Not so much.

The real answer is that Dealbreaker seems to be on a decent trajectory, but currently in an embryonic stage. ES knows her way around, and accordingly deserves some leeway.

My problem is that I work in finance, but aside from Muffie (which could be so much funnier -- great concept, execution could be better), I don't know why I come to this site, except to see if she's found an identity.
