Mergers and acquisitions are happening, and you need to know details about whether you are an investor or a company looking to acquire or divest assets. Who you have in your corner sifting through the details matters. Having a company like Tounge and Associates look at the details and market and assess the risks is critical.

Jeffrey Tounge (JT) and I had the opportunity to visit about the energy and natural gas market, and hats off to a great veteran and fellow Oklahoma City University MBA student. As a typical go-getting Army Field Artillery Officer from West Point, what you see is what you get. I for one am looking forward to more podcasts, and visiting with JT about deals and getting his opinions.
