I'm not going to waste my time verifying that I posted things that I already KNOW I posted. The archives are available. Have at it. It's there, just waiting for you!

I'll help - go to around the time of the first dividends, when people started screaming for diversification/M&As. Then follow from when the subject came up to present.

The only time I recall ever posting favor with an acquisition was when we picked up Holocom. Even then I voiced my opposition to M&A, but conceeded that it looked like a pretty good deal, and that I could "live with it". Very little money was spend for Holocom, the terms were very favorable, and it appeared they had potential.

Go look.
