Hostile takeovers just seem wrong.

if investorsrefuse to sell their stocks a hostal takeover isnt possible. This is why EA wont take over Take-Two. More then 51% of investors are refusing to sell to EA.

Where did you hear that? They haven't gone to the investors yet.

Google is the Microsoft of the search world. If Microsoft buying Yahoo will increase competition in that field, then I have absolutely no problem with it.

 

Google even without real competition keeps improving themselves and offering new services.

And the EA thing is that TT is telling investors not to take the deal and rumors show they are siding with TT's argument that having TT be TT and no EA is better for the company and industry.

How do they show this?  EA hasn't taken the deal to the investors yet, and to my knowledge no surveys have been done of those investors to gauge their interest.

Of course the board would say it is a bad deal, because they know they are likely to lose their jobs if EA takes over, but thats no reason to assume that investors don't like the idea.
