Buying NBC!

It seems lately that businesses are selling off parts of their businesses. Or in some cases their just out right selling off to others. I’m not sure if these businesses are so deep in debt, or people are ready to cash out now that the markets have recovered some. One big buyout in the news is the news. General Electric Co., which owns 80 percent of NBC Universal is considering selling off 51 percent stack to Comcast Corp. GE is going to spin off NBC, which would make NBC it’s own company. GE would remain part owner of NBC with a small stack. Not sure why Comcast really wants NBC. What I do know is that Comcast plays dirty when it comes to buying businesses. They purchased E! and Style, as well as a few sports channels in the past. They even tried to do a hostile bid for the Walt Disney Co. It’s a good thing that deal didn’t happened, a cable company running Disney would have been bad. I wonder how the shareholders feel about all this buying.
