Betting The Farm - playing with your investors money
The news around the web is that News Corp and Yahoo! apparently have been in some sort of talks about an acquisition. Might happen, might not. But the one thing that does seem to be known is the pricetag of $12 billion.
Ok, first off - kudos to Robert Murdoch if he can pull that off. He’ll have made the stock market equivalent of a real-estate flip, and profited handsomely from the process. But am I the only one, or does this seem like such an insanely large acqusition price, that it could be risky for Yahoo! as a whole?
