		<description><![CDATA[You knew him. He was the talk of the town. Spent a fortune. Had everything. Then, suddenly, busted. Bankrupt.

Everyone was shocked.

Just another instance of a man achieving a high level of prosperity and then, over time, his beliefs about his wealth and his ability to spend grew to exceed even his sizeable income. He developed his own sense of entitlement. His own story of manifest destiny. He began working less and spending more time enjoying the fruits. Flaunting his wealth and exercising his power.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If your company’s earnings have not suffered greatly during the recession, now might be the very best of all times to execute a management buyout. Buyers are out in mass and paying premiums for companies that have performed well during the recession.
We did not see this coming but Premiums are being paid for companies that are selling today. Companies that would have topped out at five or six times EBITDA three years ago are going for seven, even eight today.]]></description>
