Late last week, chatter about an Apple acquisition of Disney picked up after RBC issued a note listing the pros and cons of a deal getting done between the two companies. In the note, the analyst (Amit Daryanani) speculated that were Apple allowed to repatriate the money it holds overseas, the odds of a Disney acquisition would go up. I am in total agreement with the analyst as far as Apple needing to make an acquisition in the content space. Not to even mention the massive disparity in the price tag for a Disney acquisition versus a Netflix take-over. I have long been a proponent of a Netflix acquisition by Apple and I continue to believe that a deal between the two companies would serve everyone's best interests.
