Of course. Everything has blended and you need to keep current on all of it.

Been there many years but now have closed the worm hole

I've become a statistic. After 30 years and 5 months of standby service, I canceled. Service has been excellent and you will find nothing better than the Hopper 3. We just found we were streaming essentially every thing we like. British, European, Australian, New Zealand crime shows along with...

A good summary of the the bondholder battle summary can be seen here. This article was generated back when it was in the New York courts. Since then litigation has been moved to the federal court system. Anyone wanting to follow the lawsuit filings, rulings, etc. (in progress) can find it in...

TPG is not in the TV business, they are in the "money" business. In the Directv case as well as the proposed Dish deal, they do the numbers, and may buy a business that is losing customers based on the $$$ that will flow through to them over the expected life of the business if their investment...

Have no idea what happened. Deleted graph and regenerated and scaling is now correct.

The TPG deal is no different than many other proposed acquisitions that (might) fail to complete for various reasons. You can go back and watch deal after failed deal where millions to billions are put up as a commitment to buy with a provision the money is lost if the deal does not go through...
