Why AT&T’s bid for Time Warner, even if not smart in itself, raises odds that Verizon will buy Yahoo
On Monday, October 24, Â the U.S. stock market expressed its doubts that the AT&T (T) bid for Time Warner would go through/should go through. But despite those doubts I think the mere fact of the bid increases the likelihood that Verizon (VZ) will buy Yahoo (YHOO)...
