Paraphrasing (2nd paragraph)
Text
Now, of course, many of the celebrated dealmakers of the′90s have run into a brick wall. With Wall Street suddenly turning a cold eye toward the aggressive acquisitions accounting and leverage that drove much of the growth of the past decade, such acquisitive high-fliers as WorldCom, Tyco, and Conseco (CNC) have fallen out of favor with investors. According to a study by Bridgewater Associates Inc., the 20 companies with the greatest merger-and-acquisition activity over the past four years, a group that includes Cisco Systems (CSCO), AT&T (T), and even General Electric (GE), are now being punished by Wall Street. Through Feb. , their stocks were down an average 15% since the beginning of 2002, compared with a decline of 5% for the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.
