Yeah, right. It's baseless cable news headline-bait garbage.

Could it be trial balloons? see how regulators and politicians react to gauge how likely it is to succeed or if there is a big pushback?

I actually think an Apple/Netflix merger makes a lot of sense. Apple sucks at online services and netflix could use the deep pockets.

#7This has been going around the Minneapolis subreddit and development forums in the last week or so, with a lot of doom and gloom about one of our biggest HQs moving out of the city.
I guess I could see why Amazon would want to do it, but I'm also a little torn on what it would do locally if Amazon didn't end up locating HQ2 here while pulling Target HQ somewhere else.
On the other hand, Loup Ventures is also based here, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is just Gene Munster trying to get press by stirring up shit.

#8Typical click-bait; An extremely bold prediction with an article that takes less than two minutes to read with a re-direct to another Bloomberg article about a less-sexy potential Amazon acquisition.

1. Buy stock/derivatives in a large company that could plausibly purchase another large company.
2. Announce rumours of merger/acquisition.
3. Stock price rises, sell stock/derivatives at a profit.
