[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 8717740, member: 4348"] I think there is supposed to be a comment on the plan going forward tomorrow from what I've been reading online. It's not that merger's don't get approved, but normally mergers are beneficial to BOTH sides. This one seems to be parasitical. Unless the shareholders as a group were all planning to sell their shares in the next few weeks and abandon ship as a whole, normally driving a company to the ground in a spasmodically short period of time is NOT what they sign up for or what they want. They want annual profits. Not a quick flash in the bang which brings a very quick (and normally lower than annual) profit. This guy looks like he's going to take a potential company that has more income coming in than Discovery by several times (the problem isn't how much it's making, but how much they were spending which was more than HBO max was bringing in), and drive it to the ground. They paid Billions for this (which most shareholders haven't probably seen yet, and transfers to a debt for the company that bought it). Even with the Tax write offs, they can transform 4 Billion of it probably into something that is no longer owed, but still be 3 Billion in debt perhaps from what I'm reading. If you KILL the profit generation of the company you bought, you then still owe that money. You don't waste a company bringing in a Billion a year (sure, that's going to take several years to make it up, but that's why you pay the high up front cost) to try to prop up a subsidiary company that is making 100 million a year. But that's exactly what it appears this guy is doing. He should have a extract point in his contract for the 250 million he just earned for getting this merger that if he burns the companies within the next two years, he OWES double that. But of course that's never what these CEO's get, they all get golden parachutes. Unless they start talking some golden plan, with the most recent moves and announcements, I'm going to say I'm going to start seeing a sell off of the stock, and perhaps a big crash for that company in the next 6 months. BUT, I guess everyone will see (as long as they follow through with their statements to talk about it soon) in the next few days whether there is some smarter master plan or not. (edit - The strategy call for the media is tomorrow afternoon). If not, I expect some major rumblings from the big stockholders coming soon against this guy or the moves he is making. [/QUOTE]
