I was sad to see so little discussion on this but the state of MUT doesn’t look like it has improved much.

Good or bad? Depends who you ask and how you look at it. Good for me because I bought in on EA after their stock tumbled from their poor quarterly report earlier this year. So in another 5-6 months when the deal gets done I stand to make 35-40%. Damn good for a year and yes I’m gloating a bit. Let me have my win.

If this deal shapes up like those we could expect similar industry impacts. Could be exciting.

Affinity Partners isn’t much of a concern at 5% ownership. Seems like it’s just a way to cut Jared Kushner in. As he seems to be the link to the primary investor.
