Another bad deal in the works, overvalued TW stock
So Time Warner, which owns HBO, CNN, TNT, TBS, the Warner Brothers movie studio and more, presents an easy way for AT&T to scoop up a vast store of content. But consider the price. At $100 a share, or $105 billion, AT&T would pay an enterprise value... — read more
