Time Warner Inc. (TWX)

[recinvestor]

Seriously? It moved instantly when news was reported late Thursday afternoon!

At an $80 billion valuation, TWX will likely open over $100 on Monday. That's a 25% move from $80.

For anyone who has been buying or holding a position since Bewkes and Time Warner turned down a bid from Rupert Murdoch and Fox a couple years ago, anticipating that TWX would get another bid and in essence become an acquisition target, this is great news!

In actuality, when Time Warner started selling off different divisions, starting with the terrible acquisition of AOL in the early 2000's, and culminating with the more recent spin off of the Time publishing division, TWX has been grooming itself to be acquired.

What T is after is content. T has the subscriber base with the mobile division and DirecTV subscriber base. Now they need content to be a complete media conglomerate.

I believe this is great for TWX shareholders. Especially those who hold stock options internally, or as investors.

All in all this makes sense for TWX and T. The next hurdle is to get through the FCC which may be a tough sell. In part due to Clinton's stance on big business and likely being the next president...

Good luck here!
Go TWX
