BlackRock Opportunity Catches Merrill Lynch's Eye
Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 2/13/2006
Love is in the air, but not the metaphysical, ineffable feeling of affection sort of love. We're talking financial love. Shares of BlackRock Financial - an investment management company – soared early Monday on news that financial giant Merrill Lynch (MER: Charts, News, Offers) had its eye on a deal that would make BlackRock one of Wall Street's largest money management firms. Of course, Merrill would reap some benefits (a 49% stake in BlackRock), but it's nicer to think that the CEOs of both companies just had a thing for that feeling of togetherness. What does this deal mean, and how will former courter JP Morgan (JPM: Charts, News, Offers) react to this little triangle d'amour? More >
