Link: Report: Murdoch ponders MySpace, Yahoo 'swap' - CNN.com.
"Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. is discussing swapping social networking
Web site MySpace for a 25 percent stake in Yahoo, The Times newspaper
reports."
Remember when East Germany and West Germany merged and they set the exchange rate at 1:1 and it wound up crushing the German economy to the point where it became known as the "Sick Man of Europe"? That's the kind of effect Yahoo buying MySpace at a valuation of $9+ billion would be.
