I read Silver Surfer could happen under all this.
I'm almost terrified of that, if it sucks again I'll be devastated.

Man thats crazy. I feel a very dystopian future on the rise, with all the corporations. Bryan, you ready for "The Running Man"? :lol(I just watched it on hulu)Yes, now that the AT&T Tine Warner merger passed regulatory hurdles Comcast is super keen to try and buy Fox, especially the SKY TV assets. Comcast NEEDS this deal, Disney less so. I don't think they are going to counter but they may see if Comcast wants to split FOX up.

No kidding. Today I realized that half the snacks in the vending machine at work are all part of the Frito-Lays company. Ahhh, the illusion of choice.Did you ever watch Dark Matter? The known universe was split up between 5 (i think) corporations....seems where we're headed all right.

Disney raises their bid this morning to $71B in cash and stock.
Looks like this may be a done deal...

Not yet. I absolutely expect Comcast to up their bid.
I guess the word "accepts" doesn't mean what I think it means...:confused
Oh man I really hope comcast doesnt put in more for Fox and their assets. @Bryancd how high do you think Disney would go to acquire Fox?
Interesting. I hope it turns out in Disneys favor. Is there a specific time frame they have to counter?Right now on a per share basis the deal is at $38 per share of Fox. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this in the mid $40/share once either Comcast or Disney blinks. The Murdoch family much prefers the Disney offer as it’s stock and cash and results in a much lower and deferred tax liability for them. Comcast is all cash and that’s going to create a huge tax liability for them.
