This guy has embraced the darkside
In a good way
Itâs the biggest acquisition in history. Bloomberg is going to be writing a lot of articles about it. Unless we get word that the FTC is suing or that the deal is off itâs just speculation.

If you know in sometime you will get 95 per share why would anyone will sell at below 25% of it now?
Normally if the shares are going down it demonstrates the shareholders donât have much confidence that the deal will go through.
They typically go up before a M&A as investors typically try to buy more stock to get a profit. This suggests investors donât see the stock going higher than the $95 per share.
Do we know when the FTC will give its verdict? Didnât they extend the review last month because they wanted more info?
They dont necessarily give a verdict. They review the material and either allow it to proceed or they have to file a lawsuit to stop it. Then MS would decide whether to continue to pursue the deal. Which they likely would because I see it as pretty unlikely the FTC would have a winnable case and they would essentially be burning resources.

the stock price has been the same hovering around 75-80 or something else so i donât see no reason he writes this no except that itâs the shareholder vote today

I think his argument is that it wouldnât be hovering if the market had a strong belief the shareholders were going to vote for it.
He should consult his peers at Bloomberg about how the stock market works, especially his âcertainlyâ. If Wall Street were certain, ATVI stock would be below 50$.
âcertainâ

Even if the risk of the deal failing would only be 5%, the stock still wouldnât be at 95$.
Quite hyperbolic.
I think you know the reason 
Also, I think people like Json need to get with the times, as FTC is being urged to investigate matters that voters actually give a shit about:
Of course, that would go against the narrative said person is trying to hammer homeâŚ

FTC is the issue, shareholder vote is expected to be pro.
That headline, wow⌠more like, the share price reflects an acknowledgement by investors that the deal is not a 100% certainty. There is risk factored into the price. âBetting it will failâ is an exaggeration at best.

Okay, so Schreier exagerating again. He has always been against the deal since Day One so Iâm not suprised.

I hope people actually take a look at Jsnâs tweets before ever pretending the guy doesnât have very explicit biases, and the way in which it affects his journalism for an outlet supposed to be neutral, is unprofessional and pathetic.
