Berkshires Net Rises 33 Pct On 13 Pct Revenue Growth
2007-08-10 07:42:00 Berkshire Hathaway saw its net income climb 33% during 2Q07 on a strong performance by its insurance-underwriting business.

Conglomerates Seek Small Acqusitions
2007-02-26 21:31:01 There has been a lot of acquisitions, recently, of small companies by large conglomerates. Why? Because it is cheaper to market a product that is already established but is in the begining stages. "The rationale is from little seedlings grow big oak trees," A.G. Lafley, P&G's chief executive, told analysts last month, explaining that his company likes such deals "because it gives us time to learn; it gets us in early in the formation of the new category or segment." |
