I might be wrong and have overlooked something myself, and I am willing to be put right. But I see it happening sooner rather than later on the stock's being altered and the main player in both camps

In a merger that's unequal the major partner is usually the buyer.
Remember that the value of these companies to their owners is bits of paper, they trade them for other bits of paper, so what, makes no odds to them.
Just a reminder as well, often in a buyout a company will buy a proportion of the company they want first to get themselves a better share of the voting, when they complete their takeover they are pretty much selling their own shares to themselves.
All fun and games.

Just not by Morgan Stanley, companies are rated by various banks and financial institutions, hard to say that a single company is a 'buy' or not.

You get shafted for all your TW fanboy behaviour and anti-ntl comments in the past
