Carlos Slim Loses Out On Univision Takeover

Our guess is that in the past few months Carlos has been selling massive amounts of Global Crossing through one of his companies INMOBILIARIA CARSO S A DE C V to stockpile cash for a bid to take over Univision. Carlos Slim's investors on the Univision deal was Grupo Televisa SA. Today, the announcement of a consortium of investors including media mogul Haim Saban agreed to pay $12.3 B for the company.

Will Carlos repurchase shares of Global Crossing now that he lost out on the Univision deal? On a good note STT CROSSING LTD stepped in on May 30 and purchased $124,522,800 worth of GLBC at $20.
