hahaha. good one.

Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today announced that the Delaware Court of Chancery has denied the Wayne County Employees' Retirement System's request for a preliminary injunction relating to Activision's proposed combination with Vivendi Games, Inc., the interactive entertainment business of Vivendi S.A.
A special meeting of stockholders of Activision, Inc. will be held on Tuesday, July 8, 2008, to consider and vote on proposals to approve the transaction and related matters. If Activision's stockholders approve the transaction and the other matters to be considered at the special meeting, Activision anticipates closing the business combination on or about July 9, 2008.
What does this mean?

Oh, and all the huge 10+% drops in big cap names are definitely scary. VIX only at 25 and change... still got a long way to go.

I'm assuming it means the court is denying the merger between Activision and Vivendi Games. Which means no Activision Blizzard.

I hope it gets passed =( or else I am no longer long ATVI and I will sell my shares and burn the booklet ATVI sent to me.

If the ECB raises and we lose over 100,000 jobs in June I guarantee we see Dow 10,000s.

I bought 25 GM Jan 2010 $20.00 call options today before the close for $1.50. Too cheap had to act. GM's market cap is $5.6B WTF?!?!

Price $9.98
Market Cap 5.6B
Cash 21B
Cash/share $40

Hot damn! Screaming buy.

Good bet since you went all the way out to 2010.

I wouldn't touch it as a long position right now. Especially with analyst targets going into single digits.

Your cash per share figure doesn't matter with all of their debt. The company is in so much trouble that it shouldn't even be operating currently.

Simple valuation.

They have 45B in debt and 180B in revenue with 4B in free cash flow.
