Time Warner stock price closed at 89$ on Friday. The deal if 109$ per share.

Newbie trader question - If if buy the shares for time warner on monday morning, would I be able to make profit ?

Assuming the price doesn't open at 109, maybe. The deal might still fail for a variety of reasons and then you are stuck with the stock and may or may not have to take a loss. If you are new to trading, I would say step away from event driven trading strategies. Understand trading first before playing this approach.
