frick
I know that it says that AT&T they will allow Directv to operate as a separate entity, but I doubt that will last very long.

No everything with directv will stay the same. Get that stock while you can

Well that fricking blows...
Guess I won't be renewing my contract now. I don't trust "directv will remain independent and nothing will change".

Consolidation.
This merger has to be approved by federal government right?

Correct. This could take a while

I hope this merger is blocked.

Yes and I'm usually the one to say the govt should stay out of these things, but frick, I hope they shoot it down....

Why did the government permit all these airline mergers? Oil has not really changed in a few years, yet airfares have skyrocketed.

I just read it will be a stock & cash deal valued at a whopping 67.1B. So much M&A this year so far and there's going to be a lot more; Pfizer still chasing AstraZeneca, darden selling red lobster, Abbott labs buying CFR, Apple bought beats, and now google will be buying Twitch for 1B

Economy is stagnant so companies are forces to buy growth.

To me this is another sign of the inevitable market correction. I think way too high of a price, for a business model that is subject to anti-trust, and at a minimum serious competition to the purchase of channel packages on an all or none basis by streaming and other methods of delivery.

This deal, unless it goes completely opposite of how I think it will, is what will drive me to cut the cord.

It's like predicting there's going to be some severe blizzards next winter.

No. But it does look like the dumb money is rushing in. Everyone has a role. Dumb money is necessary for others to profit from.
