you got to hand it to Mel. I had my doubts, but in the end he always prevails. This weekend should be interesting - hopefully we get a deal with Malone or even Ergen it sounds like.
Holy crap, that is 2.4 billion more shares.Quote:

So it's not too bad then and more positive than I thought. Then they have more shares still left to negotiate with other more short-term debt.

I think we are still ok even if you fully dilute . . just run the $300mm PFCF projected for next year divided by full dilution and slap a 1 times next years growth multiple on it . . . it really ain't that bad considering where we been.Quote:
