Jim Cramer came out with a huge list of anti-competitive mergers he would like to see on Wednesday night’s MAD MONEY on CNBC. He noted pricing power and the potential rush-job that may occur in mergers before a DOJ under a potential Democratic White House or Congress. This is the TOP 10 LIST from Cramer, but it is actually more than ten if you count them. We broke these up into two different posts because the length of them was quite long otherwise:
The first half of his list is here.
The second half of his list is here.
Keep in mind that many of these are VERY anti-competitive and would be blocked if the DOJ actually monitored mergers like they are supposed to, so this is sort of a ‘merger wish list’ of Cramer’s even if he said he thinks they will occur. Yes we are about Wall Street, but most of these mergers would be horrible for Main Street and many of these wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting through.
