Welcome to another episode of Wall Street Unplugged.
He’s back…
Managing Director at Point View Wealth Management and Wall Street Unplugged all-time favorite, John Petrides, joins the show once again.
Normally, we jump from one sector to another. But today, we’re turning our focus to only one…
Retail.
Just last week, a surprisingly big acquisition took place in the sector: Private equity firm Sycamore bought out Staples for $10.25 per share… in a deal valued close to $7 billion.

Good Investing,
Frank Curzio
