   Circuit City

   Circuit City has been working with Goldman Sachs and was offered a buy out at $17 a share and is now trading in the $11 area, I would assume a buyout by a competitor or someone web based that wants to get into the retail realm.
   
   but never assume anything...because some people are idiots and will never do the intelligent thing and others are biding their time not realizing they should have bought stock a long time ago. (Apple anyone?...who bought stock at $14 a share a few years back and kept it?)

   "One good way to get a sense of whether the market is expecting a given to go through is to look at the current market price of a stock compared to the buyout price. The wider the gap, the less likely it'll actually happen. "

   It's my understanding that it's very common for the buyout price to be at some premium over the trading price.

   Clear Channel Buyout

   Since allowing ownership of so many stations, TV stations and newspapers especially stations numerous in a given geographic area as they are now has had nothing but an extremely deleterious effect on our republic. Anything that would encourage/enforce a breakup of mass media ownership by companies such as Clear Channel and the four or five others who jointly own the vast majority of media outlets would be in the interests of America.
   Maybe if such a breakup were to occur we would see real local news with divergent opinions again with the result being an informed public again.
