How will the google purchases of you tube be funded?

Answer 1

easy -

1- Share swap - google gives X number of shares to the owners of You Tube and in return gets 100% of their You Tube shares
2- Sell stocks in the stock exchange and pay in cash
3- Get the collateral from any bank in return for shares

Which? they did not disclose the details, but I would imagine they would go for a share swap.

Answer 2

Google has 10 billion dollars sitting in the bank collecting dust. I think they'll just pay cash. :D
