Ah, here it is, this was in the Tuesday July 6th Seattle Times... The Hollywood Reporter cited unnamed people when it reported that DreamWorks SKG is expected to resume merger discussions with Seagram "and maybe Vulcan Ventures"...as well as with MGM. A union of Seagram and DreamWorks was said to be more probable. The article also mentions that Paul Allen invested 660M in DreamWorks in 1995, and his stake is the largest at 24%. I'd paste the link from hollywoodreporter.com, but I dont have a subscription, I just took that out of the Seattle Times... ___minor rant begins here_________ Geeze these guys have an ungodly amount of money to work with, they're freaks! I have shares in eight companies, the total marketcap of which is only 300M. What was I thinking--the real money is sloshing around in the top fifty...someday we will wonder how it all got narrowed down to just handful of giant megamonolpolies. Do these guys even know how much power they have?! They could buy an entire sector of the market if they wanted, corner the silver market, buy a small country, finance a war. Sorry it didn't have anything to do with that one you mentioned Carolyn. Our little stocks are peons among kings. The bigger get bigger and all that...no wonder the Gorilla thread is so popular...but I think it is a disease.
