Oxford-Knight International, Inc. plans to specialize in mergers & acquisitions, leveraged buy-outs, business consulting, real estate development, construction (residential and commercial), assisted living facilities (new), and retail & wholesale distribution of auto accessories That's a pretty broad range of businesses to "specialize" in! LOL You could sort of see how they tie together in a bit of vertical integration...until the auto accessories bit. And I have to say, the NR looks more like a way to get some market attention even before they've closed the deal than it does a genuine attempt to solicit resumes from qualified companies and people. I mean, this gets stock trader attention but it's a bit unconventional for acquiring qualified management, no? Interesting to see where this one goes. BTW, no offense intended, just a bit of dialogue on a slow evening... Cheers, WUWT
