RE: GameStop wants to buy eBay, which is 5x larger than GameStop. Here is why it could actually work. Magic trick is leveraged buyout and swapping stocks (stock-for-stock merger).

I would distrust this merger. It feels a lot like Paramount buying HBO, and then being over-leveraged (I think that Paramount is going to fail). And the CEO doesn't inspire much trust... But we'll see, maybe he can pull that off.
