Welcome to Industry Focus. The Podcast that dives into a different sector of the stock market each day.

I'm your host Emily Flippin. I'm Jason Moser. I'm Nick Seyple. I'm Dylan Lewis. And today

we're talking financials. Today we're talking consumer goods. Wild Card Wednesday.

And we're talking energy. And today we're talking

talking tech.

Let's dive in.

It's Friday March 26th, and we're talking acquisition rumors and Microsoft's

gaming ambitions.

I'm your host, Dylan Lewis, and I'm joined by Fool.com's

antiquated accessor of analyzing anti-awson asset acquisitions, Brian Feroldi.

Brian, how you doing? I'm doing great Dylan excited to be talking

about some news. We haven't covered news in many many weeks. It's been a while you

know we like to mix it up I like to think us as a you know a pitcher that has a couple different pitches in our repertoire. You know sometimes we go with the deep dives sometimes we like to go radar stocks throw like three or four different companies that are in the same

space at our listeners but every now and then it's nice to talk about something

everybody knows and in this case we're going to be talking about Microsoft and some

really splashy news related to big tech companies and I think it should say really splashy potential news here.

What we're talking about is Microsoft potentially buying spending a cool

ten billion dollars to buy discord but I think that this is more than a

rumor the odds of this actually happening I think are pretty high but I guess we

should point out this is just a rumor at this point.

It is and rumors are very fun and there is no shortage of headlines related to what the

various big tech companies could go out and buy right and so it's a very tantalizing idea.
