      michael l (Jul 18 11:17 AM) : monopoly? only in outer space and only until it becomes profitable to launch more saddle-lights. (it's a horse race ...) there are SOOOO many other stations/private schools and SOOOO many other stations/delivery companies that receiving entertainment/ education/ packages is *totally* competitive. no myopia in my eyes/ears; but yours?

      with extreme difficulty i could see a 2 year (gag! barf!) hold on subscription prices as the fcc tries to drive a demand economy into a command economy. i can approve the need to have a single radio that receives both channels though. that only makes sense since the cos would also be single then. as far as 'reserved bandwidth' for air america or other unprofitable or undesirable broadcasts 10% is the max vigorish that would be tolerable, as untolerable as vigorish is. making sausage and laws seems *so* sanitary compared to the fcc's torture - oh, wait, america doesn't torture; nevermind.

      iff you know teh back-story behind GEs last quarter (caught in the
      undertow with "BarleyStern-nuts... you would recognize that tech analysis is not the be-all-end-all. right now, adn for the next couple weeks, GE is a *screaming buy* - especially below $30!! [[WTF?!?!]]

      i went long at ~$32 and bought too much - (my bad cramer; i apologize) and i will be buying LOTS more RSN if i can extract some profits from other issues. what i hadn;t considered (that creamer does) is that the lower shelf of GE stock would fall again.       Jun 13 08:31 AM
    • Will GE Drop Below $30? [view article]
      with numbers like these:

      Market Cap (intraday): 306.20B
      Enterprise Value (31-May-08): 838.74B
      Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 14.20
      Forward P/E (fye 31-Dec-09) : 12.59

      Total Debt (mrq): 547.84B
      Total Debt/Equity (mrq): 4.723

      it sure seems like a scary time ... even if:

    • Naked Shorting Comes Full Circle [view article]
      hmmmm, what about a *new* sec rule (gag) that says something along the lines of: short selling available IFF co has $2b market cap or greater AND stock price must be greater than $20.00. if either limit is reached short selling MUST be halted. [[lock limit down variant?]] Apr 09 12:22 PM

      In percentage terms "can;t duplicate or even approach" is significant, if not the singular key. but in absolute dollars he built an aircraft carrier from a dinghy. time to find a new dinghy? Mar 03 08:54 AM
    • Market Valuation and Investment Returns: What's the Connection? [view article]
      re: locke .... this is a good time to continue to LOOK at buying SOME stocks .... i am not convinced that the specific time to buy is RightNow (tm). imnsho, the diligent investor will identify certain issues which ought to be profitable and decide on a specific price at which to buy ... in increments ... and watch the price/dividend action from a respectable, emotionally disassociated, distance.

      my own anticipation suggests that late 2q08 or mid 3q08 would be a better timing, as if timing could be predicted.
