México ante una crisis económica ¿Está México a punto de caer en una recesión económica? Según los expertos, entre enero y marzo, el Producto Interno Bruto de México se contrajo 0,1%, por lo que si hay una nueva baja, la economía entraría en recesión. Otro de los temas primordiales que se debe atender, de acuerdo con los economistas, es la situación de Pemex, más cuando ya se ha rebajado su calificación y una agencia incluso le quitó el grado de inversión. Los invitados de hoy son: Mariana Campos, investigadora para México evalúa, Carlos Rodríguez, jefe de buró Bloomberg México, Manuel Molano, Director General del IMCO (Instituto Mexicano de la Competitividad) y José Manuel Martinez, periodista experto en finanzas.

In part II of my interview with Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond, we discuss how deals can get off the ground, and why so many times the process can die out midway through. In "Five Questions" I ask Ed "What's the biggest deal that's NEVER happened?" ..."Has anyone ever approached you with a bribe to reveal information?"...and "What's the most UNUSUAL way you've come across a scoop?"

The event space is littered on a daily business with rumors of deals and activism, the overwhelming majority of which is false. In Part 1 of what I consider to be a MUST-LISTEN interview, Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond explains the role journalists play in the deal-process. We discuss how incorrect journalism, for example the Nokia for Juniper story, makes it to press ONLY to be quickly refuted. And lastly we talk sources and their motivations, which can range from vanity, to humanity...to downright murky. But first I discuss how and why I've made Integrated Device Tech (IDTI) my biggest position of the year.

Todd Zywicki, professor at George Mason University School of Law and a former director of the Federal Trade Commission’s Office of Policy Planning, on how Mick Mulvaney’s rollback of regulations at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a step in the right direction.Brooke Sutherland, Bloomberg M&A and industrials columnist, on Broadcom's hostile bid for Qualcomm facing a new hurdle, as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US starts a probe. Edward Lazear, Professor at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business and Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, on how government spending discourages work.Dan Liefgreen, Milan bureau chief for Bloomberg, on the populist turn in the Italy elections.

A trifecta of deal news late last week brings Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond into the studio. He expresses admiration over the price Staples was able to get -- $6.9 billion -- from Sycamore Partners and optimism about Fox's chances to get its Sky acquisition approved. But the news isn't as rosy for Rite Aid and a smaller drugstore company called Fred's.

It's a common love story: PPG, the Pittsburgh-based paint and glass maker, offers to buy rival Akzo Nobel. Akzo Nobel says no, PPG sweetens offer, Akzo Nobel says no, an activist shareholder puts pressure on Akzo Nobel, Akzo Nobel says it'll split the company in two to avoid takeover and may invoke something called a stichting...OK, it's not that common. That's why we've got Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond to explain it all to host Alex Sherman.

AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner led the way as the biggest deal of 2016. The implications of the deals that did -- and didn't -- get announced this year set up 2017 as a year of uncertainty for mergers and acquisitions. That's usually a bad sign for deal volume, as chief executive officers like certainty when deciding to spend billions. Still, equity markets are booming, and there's a lot of optimism for a very big 2017 among M&A bankers and lawyers. Bloomberg M&A Executive Editor Jeff McCracken, M&A Managing Editor Aaron Kirchfeld and host Alex Sherman run down the biggest and most influential deals of 2016 and what the domino effects could be in 2017.

John Vail, chief global strategist for Nikko Asset Management, discusses global equities and the Bank of Japan. Alex Sherman, Bloomberg M&A reporter, and Gerry Smith, Bloomberg media reporter, outline how the AT&T-Time Warner deal got struck, and regulatory hurdles the companies may face. Bloomberg View columnist Mark Gilbert discusses how pessimism is growing about the economic consequences of leaving the European Union.

CBOE's $3.2 billion acquisition of Bats Global Markets may sound like a wonky financial transaction. That isn't really the case, Bloomberg M&A reporter Matt Monks tells Deal of the Week host Alex Sherman. Actually, you can view it as a technology deal. Monks and Sherman discuss why stock and options exchanges are consolidating and explain why technological changes have upended the industry.

Sanofi and Boehringer Ingelheim agreed to a $25 billion dollar trade of big business units this week, the conclusion of a deal that first surfaced in December. Asset swaps, while complicated, could be an increasingly popular maneuver among pharmaceutical companies, Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond tells host and colleague Alex Sherman. That's partially because the biggest takeovers in the industry can't seem to get done. Hammond explains why they've failed and what pharma deals might actually get done in the second half of 2016.

Halliburton's quest to buy Baker Hughes is over. Joining this week's episode is Bloomberg M&A Matthew Monks, who was first to report that the deal had died. Monks talks with host Alex Sherman and fellow reporter Ed Hammond to discuss why the companies couldn't find a path forward, even when faced with a $3.5 billion breakup fee.

Airline takeovers don't have a good track record. That didn't stop Alaska Air from agreeing this week to pony up in a big way for Virgin America. Yet the combined company will still have to deal with many of the industry woes that have dogged previous mergers, including high fixed costs, strong unions and passengers wary of paying too much for tickets. Even Virgin founder Richard Branson is concerned Virgin America's customer service will suffer. Bloomberg M&A reporter Matt Monks joins Deal of the Week host Alex Sherman to discuss why Alaska nevertheless was willing to bet big on Virgin.

Scott Rostan used to be a mergers & acquisitions banker for Merrill Lynch. Then he was a high school teacher. He eventually found a happy medium training bankers and business school students how to do their jobs. He founded Training The Street in 1999, signing up bulge-bracket banks and universities as clients and developing a 35-person global team to teach techniques on valuation, accounting and financial analysis. He explains some of his methods and shares his own experiences in boardrooms, including a tense bidding war between Norfolk Southern Corp. and CSX Corp. for Conrail Inc., and how that battle parallels today's hostile railroad consolidation talks. Plus, Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond stops by to update host Alex Sherman (back from paternity leave) on Virgin America's talks to be acquired by JetBlue Airways and Alaska Air.

Burger King. Pfizer. Name a major M&A deal in the past three decades and chances are Eileen Nugent played a part. Join us as the co-head of M&A at Skadden Arps explains what it was like to be a woman in the male-dominated world of the 1980s and how gender inequality is finally starting to change. Guest host Jeffrey McCracken also chats with Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond on China's growing multi-billion-dollar interest in hotel chains across the U.S.

Tom Burnett, Vice Chairman and Director of Research at Wall Street Access joins the show this week. But first, guest co-host Jeffrey McCracken kicks things off with Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond discussing the potential deal between BASF and DuPont.

Cate Ambrose, president of the Latin American Private Equity & Venture Capital Association, is bullish on private investments in nations including Mexico and Brazil. Still, she's seeing the largest global private equity firms hold on to investments for longer, aiming to boost returns as Latin American currencies slide against the dollar. Deal of the Week host Alex Sherman also chats with Bloomberg M&A reporter Matt Monks, who broke the news that Intercontinental Exchange and CME Group are both interested in challenging Deutsche Boerse's offer to buy London Stock Exchange Group, a move that may prompt a bidding war for the U.K. exchange.

Eric Zinterhofer, chairman of Charter Communications Inc. and co-founder of Searchlight Capital Partners, says Charter management was caught by surprise by Comcast Corp.'s behind-the-scenes attempt to usurp its $80 billion deal for Time Warner Cable. ``Blindsided is probably an understatement,'' he says. Zinterhofer reflects on Charter's journey from bankruptcy to potential cable giant and discusses why he left Apollo Management for Searchlight with Bloomberg's Alex Sherman and Kiel Porter. Plus, Bloomberg M&A reporter Ed Hammond chats about the likelihood of a merger between Honeywell International and United Technologies.
