My father, a small business owner, always told me your home is not an investment. It's a necessity and a place to live. Any other real estate can be an investment. Never confuse the two.
Having absolutely no experience with M&A, what do you think about the outrageous bonuses paid to executives to get these deals done as part of the motivation to complete them? They almost seem to be willed to completion despite the escalating prices and lack of business sense. Could these completion bonuses take on a life of their own, essentially ignoring investor value?
