It was great for aol and horrible for timewarner.

Any time ted turner gets screwed I am happy. Even if AOL is the one who does it

This merger affected a lot of people's retirement funds not just Ted Turner and now the stocks are in a big black hole.

I know first hand.

It was more of a buy-out than a merger, but Mattel and The Learning Company comes to mind. $3 billion up in smoke in less than a year.

3Dfx/STB

 

[FrustratedUser]

Volvo - Ford (not really a merger)
