I got burned on the USA/Lycos/TMCS merger. I hope the market will like the merger between AOL/CBS. My fear is the market putting p/e ratio on the new company.

Board: What would AOL buying CBS do to AOL's stock price" Don't know what it do for the price, but I would assume that AOL would want to assure itself that it has a news gathering out-fit. There are not too many of those around. CBS has reporters in the field. These are very scarce, right now. Microsoft has a tie-in with NBC. CBS was talking about aligning with CNN. Time-Warner nixed that deal. Going forward, this might be very big indeed. Now, what AOL needs is a tie-in with ATT/TCI so that AOL can give Web-TV a run for it's money. Things are happening fast !!! It's AOL vs. MSFT Case vs. Gates ...and, we were alive to see it happen.
