Financials Matter -

The bidding war for Warner Bros just went hot with Paramount upping the ante to a $109 Billion price tag.

Previously Netflix offered $90 Billion for Warner Bros.

So now the fun begins.

Ironically (or NOT) Trump has added his $0.25 cents worth (adjusted for inflation) by supposedly giving his blessing for the Paramount offer.

This is not a good sign for many reasons.

Why?

Merger approvals are typically handled by independent regulatory agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, rather than by the president directly.

And that makes Trump’s stated involvement highly unusual.

Trump said he plans to discuss the mechanics of the deal with “some economists” before giving it his approval.

Which economists, Don?

Normally, presidents don’t intervene directly in antitrust reviews of corporate mergers, which makes his comments stand out.

But it also reinforces the growing panic across Hollywood about what this deal could mean.

If Netflix wins you can rest assured, we will continue to see their insulting/ridiculous remakes and/or adaptations of famous movies which focus on:

White man is the villain
Black man is the hero
Gay guy is the voice of reason
Woman has the balls
Dad is an idiot
Mom is the breadwinner
Children are sexualized

And for some mysterious reason, Netflix can’t seem figure out why they have lost soooo many subscribers.

Bidding War

If Paramount wins the bidding war, there will be a monopoly in the entertainment industry, which violates Anti-Trust Laws in America.

BUT regardless of who wins, the new monopoly juggernaut will have more control over USPs, URLs, Website marketing, advertising, and access to more of your personal and private information.

Ironically (or NOT) from an historical stock market perspective, Blow off tops are usually marked by big mergers and acquisitions like this one.

Do you remember the following events:

“AOL buys Time Warner”
Mitsubishi buys Rockefeller Center
China Buys Massive Acreage (under Barack O’Biden regime)

It’s no coincidence that these (and other like events) took place when the markets were experiencing “irrational exuberance.”

One of the reasons this is happening is that theaters have very few great movies any more.

Nobody is stopping anyone from making good theater quality movies…Except maybe the sickos who demand woke garbage.

This bidding war is far from over.

But you should be on the lookout for other signals that the stock markets are nearing a blow off top. * (HERE)
