Depending on purchase price I could see this actually being a bad purchase for MS. When you think of the stock market the best time to buy a stock is when it is at a low point but has potential to increase in value overtime...For instance buying shares of Apple a decade ago.
At this point it seems Activision is at a high point. So there is big risk in a purchase now, because their is a lot of downward territory that it could fall to and its really unkown how much higher its value could go but odds are not all that good I think.
So if MS ends up paying for its value now its a huge multiple Billion $ risk to take. MS has the money, but the question is if its a wise choice. At this point I don't see that it would be.
