The Business Deal Hall of ShameIt’s good to learn from your mistakes. But it’s even better to learn from other people’s. To that end, Time has compiled a list of the 10 worst business deals of 2007. Who makes the cut?

    • Microsoft makes it for overpaying for Facebook
    • Daimler clocks in at No. 3 for paying $2 billion to offload under-performing Chrysler
    • Citibank earned its place by selling a 4.9% stake to Adu Dhabi Investment Authority for only $7.5 billion

      For the other seven deals deemed shameful, stupid or short-sighted by Time, check out the complete list.
