    M&A Journalism in 2019: Greg Roumeliotis of Reuters News

    APC/CVX, BMY/CELG, and BBT/STI are three mega-deals of 2019 with one common denominator: No major media outlets managed to scoop the story before it was press released. So what's changed in the world of m&a journalism in the last few years? Greg Roumeliotis reflects on a 13+ year career with Reuters news covering deals and deal speculation. We discuss "bad" journalism, competition among peers and dig into why media intervention can often disrupt the entire deal process.

Frugal asssasin ,

Like The Daily for M&A!

Great look at the trends, people and situations that are top of mind (and some times those that are a bit under the radar) in the event driven world. One of my favorite podcasts, NPR should snap this up to tap into one awfully lucrative donor pool

Samsquared1 ,

Insightful and entertaining with lots of practical advice.

Really enjoying this new podcast on event-driven trading. Great for experienced investors with timely, relevant, and super thorough discussion on some of the week's biggest financial stories.
