Gayle, I've read your profile and noted that you spent your career as a professional economist. May I ask your opinion on the following?

The linked article details ten large acquisitions that have backfired in recent times.

In each case, I'm sure there were teams of accountants, technologists, and lawyers evaluating the acquisition's balance sheet, cash flow, ip, etc., but the results were disastrous. Why did these team of pros miss, and could we do better as diligent individual investors?

Thanks in advance for making a "guest" appearance.
