Companies have embarked on what looks
like the beginnings of a re-run of the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) wave
that defined the second bubbly half of the 1990s. That period, readers might
recall, was characterized by a collective splurge that saw the creation of some
of the most indebted companies in history, many of which later went bankrupt or
were themselves broken up. Wild bidding for teleeoms, internet and media
as- sets, not to mention the madness that was Daimler’ s $ 40 billion motoring

individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas. When
the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom
he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stock A. rely on their own financial resources B. persuade the banks to provide long-term finance C. borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know D. depend on the population as a whole for finance
