Deal Activity Is On Fire

Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

Companies tend to grow organically by building new products/services internally, or they can grow by buying existing companies that already have proven products/services.
The value of deal activity in 2014 has already topped $1 trillion worldwide, which is only the third time since 1980 that this level has been surpassed so early in the year.
The Investment Committee strongly believes that this level of deal activity is a sign of confidence from CEOs and supports our bullish view on the economy.

Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

Merger & Acquisition (M&A) activity affects stock market prices; the more the merrier.
Our investment process includes an element of “think like a Private Equity (PE) firm” in that we look for companies possessing the qualities which suggest M&A potential.
We look for “yet-to-be recognized” value within market sectors that possess expansion potential.
We focus on companies which generate attractive cash flows and are currently being offered at discount prices. Those with the capability to expand margins and distribute their unneeded cash.
Recent DIAS successes with this approach include Copano Energy.
