Is there any truth to the rumor that Reuters is reporting that a three-way merger is being discussed involving Microsoft, Justabid.com and bobbrinker.com? According to the rumor on Fleet Street in London, Microsoft will issue ten shares of common stock for each Justabid.com share, and ten shares for each bobbrinker.com share to form the new behemoth. According to the news service rumor, the new firm will be renamed Microsoft-Justabob.com and the new shares will trade on the Big Board under the symbol MJ. According to the reports, Justabid.com and bobbrinker.com shareholders will divide about $120 billion in the deal. One fly in the ointment is a report that Justabid.com CEO Justawerkinstiff wants additional shares in order to pay for a non compete agreement. Bill Gates says the deal is off if he has to continue to compete with Justabid.com & bobbrinker.com. Any news on this one?
