His vision is clouded by those Bud Light Bottles.

16 oz CANS at 36 degrees

He does not have to sell, just you would like him to sell. Thats the difference.

WHy do investors want to buy E* and not D*???

 

[dragon002]

scott , i dont care what he does.

he has no film making arm, no news arm, no international presence, no way to generate revenue other than a pass along outlet.

IMHO he wont last much longer before a buyout or a sale. and he will not be there when the smoke clears.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Keep looking through your beer cans Bob.

i dont care what he does.

You seem to hang on his every move IMHO.

vurbano, there are numerous posts on here about this.

he brought to his board , directors who have all been involved in sales or mergers.

he is driving the stock price up.

he is showing a little less churn, and bragging about it.

am i wrong? possibly.

are you wrong? possibly.

we will see!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes we will see, my advice is to sit back pop open some more cans and enjoy the ride.

Now please stop your worse then those Jahova guys who keep wanting me to buy their magazine and go to their church.

I may not care for many of E*'s business practices, but it doesn't take too many functioning brain cells to conclude that Mr. Ergen knows how to run a major DBS business...the proof is in company's bottom line. I don't see Charlie selling E*, but as competition increases (thanks to Telcos) and squeezing out a profit becomes even more difficult, then who knows. Everyone has a price! Personally, I don't see both E* and D* surviving once the Telcos roll-out their triple play (voice, broadband, video) en masse.

E* tried to buy D* a couole of years ago.

It's not that investors don't want to buy D* but some "Industry Watchers" have speculated that E* may in a position to look for a buyer.

 

[vurbano]

so basically, as Scott said, its all bologna.
