    As I said yesterday, Disney buying Fox could be the next multi-billion-dollar deal.......and today it's looking more likely.

    Fox favors Disney as buyer for studio, media assets
    Murdochs see better strategic fit, fewer regulatory hurdles; Fox is also said to still be in active talks with Comcast.

    Today that Disney-Fox deal is looking even more likely.

    Disney and Fox are closing in on deal, could be announced next week

    Talks have progressed and a deal could be announced as early as next week, sources tell CNBC. The enterprise value of the Fox assets in the deal is seen as more than $60 billion. Fox would sell movie and television production assets and keep its news, sports and broadcast network.

    Is James Murdoch angling for a top job at Disney?
    A sale of Fox assets to the entertainment giant could position him to succeed CEO Robert Iger.

    Hey, Toys Я Us executives -- you just drove your company into bankruptcy. What are you going to do now? "We're going to get $16,000,000 in bonuses! Maybe."

    In the past four days, six huge wildfires in southern California have burned more than 152,000 acres and destroyed more than 500 homes and buildings. If downed power lines and exploding transformers are found to be factors in the fires, utility companies could be held liable. Investors are reacting:

    I'm starting to think we should have a new thread just for all the multi-billion-dollar business deals. Here is the latest:

    I think when they say "don't worry about job cuts," that's the time to start worrying about job cuts.
