50% over market price

Holy shit, they're pretty desperate to get rid of their extra cash aren't they.

Honestly, I think this is going to go down in history as one of the most irrational business decisions of all time. Similar in scale of folly to the AOL Time Warner merger.

I don't see how this makes any sense? I thought once Balmer left MS would stop wasting money like this. Looks like I was wrong...

It's ridiculous. They're pissing away money that they could have used to work on robots, artificial intelligence, biotechnology - anything but buy a 'gibs job pl0x' website

>when you are long a call on LNKD 140 for 3.2
>it's now trading for 53 dollars

This is why you trade options.

26bil for linkedin? seriously?
They also dumped 2bil on minecraft, i can't see the benefit of that, since it already sold everything it could have by that point.
