NEW YORK, March 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Brexit means
Brexit, but it may also be bullish. That was the key takeaway from
participants, speakers and guests at our Deal Economy UK
conference, hosted by The Deal, a business unit of TheStreet, Inc.
(NASDAQ: TST), a deep-dive into the impact of Britain's decision to leave the European Union
on mergers, buyouts, business and investment.
"Suddenly, with two giant, albeit rejected takeover bids,
Europe doesn't seem all that bad
as a place to invest," said TheStreet's Jim
Cramer, who conducted the day's keynote interview with
Steve Krouskos, the Global Vice
Chair for Transaction Advisory Services at EY. "Suddenly, the euro
seems a little more stable and with the downfall of the so-called
uber-nationalist party in the
Netherlands, perhaps politically, suddenly Europe feels like the good old days when you
didn't have to think about who was running the government."
Additional speakers who shared their perspective and insight at
the conference included The Right Honourable Lord
Lamont of Lerwick, The Right Honourable John Redwood,
Michel De Fabiani, Franco-British
Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Tristan
Nagler, Aurelius Investments Limited, Jim Strang, Hamilton Lane and Christophe
Bavière, Idinvest Partners.
