On this episode of 'The Wall Street Skinny' we delve into two failed acquisitions, starting first with the failed Mondelez-Hershey deal. We get into the structure of Hershey's voting shares, the history of Kraft and Cadbury's contentious acquisition, and the strategic implications of consolidating consumer goods giants. Learn about the rationale behind mergers, the hurdles they face, and the implications for shareholders and market dynamics.
We also share our thoughts on the recent hawk tuah girl meme coin debacle, and chat about the stark contrasts between the heavily regulated world of traditional finance and the wild west of cryptocurrencies.
