I was and still am opposed to mergers in most industries. Researchers found after much studying that most mergers do not benefit the stockholders long term) and certainly do not benefit the many thousands that are let go from their jobs for no good reason other than TWO greedy CEO/CHAIRMAN types getting together to figure how to get more money than they are worth.

I was and still am opposed, useless as that position is NOW, the merger of Harrahs and Caesars and MGM and Mandalay Bay.

The folks in Nevada that couldv'e stopped these mergers are nothing but puppets to the big casino holding companies and now the strings are going to be pulled even tighter! IMHO!
