Good morning, Sarah.
I just looked over the M&A report.
Have you had a chance to look at it?
It seems we considered merging with Hastings Investments last month.
You are kidding me!
Does it say anything else that is interesting?
The biggest point was our businesses' stock value.
We have never had the biggest value,
but we always are trying to get our numbers up to keep in line with our competitors.
Well, we are already the second biggest firm in the country,
and if we could acquire Hastings Investments,
we would likely move up to overtake the first spot.
I think it is a great idea.
Hmm.. I don't know.
I don't think it would be what is best for our company.
I am reading the latest report now.
It seems that Hastings Investments has reported a drop in their profits over the last three quarters.
