Friends, I was surprised by such news. The social network Twitter is thinking about getting the internet business Yahoo. Details here http://nypost.com/2016/06/02/twitter-talks-to-yahoo-about-merger/ Do you think it's just rumors or the emergence of a new business? How can this deal affect the price of both stocks?
One shitty money losing company buys another shitty money losing company to generate fake revenue growth. I'd say the deal has negative NPV but who knows how the market will react.
I suspect that Yahoo is (understandably) in such deep trouble at the moment that they'll talk to almost anyone?
Yahoo has not bought Snapchat at 20 billion yet. Once, Yahoo buys Snapchat and then Twitter buys Yahoo at 50 billion then it will generate some synergy that might create some exceptional value to Twitter.
I think Twitter is the best investment for 2016. They are way too big to fall. When I first bought their stock in 2014 the price was $69 per stock. A year later, (April 2015) it already went down to $52 and in April 2016, well, $15.... The minute it hit $15 I bought so many I am balanced at $22 per stock and waiting patiently for it to rock it!
Excuse me, but this is how the average loser thinks, whether the insanity works or fails. You can do this in SP500, in a company it is pure idiocy unless you are seriously underleveraged ("The minute it hit $15 I bought so many"); which is not the case.
