Portfolio Pulse from Natan Ponieman

The FTC recently lost an antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft's (MSFT) acquisition of Activision Blizzard (ATVI). The Department of Justice is reportedly preparing an antitrust lawsuit against Apple (AAPL) and has already sued Google's parent company, Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), for monopolizing digital advertising technologies. The FTC is also investigating Amazon's proposed acquisition of iRobot (IRBT).
