The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

seekingalpha.com - Activision blizzard latest approval marks a significant milestone in complex merger journey

The MSFT cash buyout of ATVI deal is looking good. BRK held on to $1.38B of ATVI it appears as of Q2. I followed WEB into the arbitrage in May '22 but sold when things appeared to hit the fan. Bought it again back in mid July(up nearly 5%)and gonna hold until it goes thru at $95. Glad the deal will likely go thru. for many reasons! Excerpt:

'Microsoft-Activision merger navigated global regulatory hurdles, gaining crucial approvals in the EU and USA after significant concessions.

The UK's CMA initial blockage and subsequent preliminary approval of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard mark a crucial development.

Activision-Blizzard investors and employees will receive $95 per share post-acquisition, with clear provisions for vested and unvested options.'
