Yes thanks I just stumbled across that link/story in the media and will follow. Did you see the brand new TV commercial they will be launching regarding the 28 day advantage? Its very well done. They are going to play this in specific test markets in the country. Some are speculating this is...

I concur. I am from a different generation and really just use my phone for texting. My cell phone is very basic. But there is a market out there for folks who do want this stuff and need that immediate gratification. Its definitely a niche market, but in pre-testing marketing studies and...

Revenues of $3.2B on Blockbuster stores alone. A few folks are still going to stores. Their problem is that historically something like 30% of their stores does nearly 70% of these revenues. So their true downfall has been one of cost structure, inefficiency, and having to service way too much...

No contact information. However from doing analysis of trading flow. I can tell you that IMHO a little more than $200M of the whole float was accumulated between January and March of this past year. Cost basis is somewhere in the neighborhood of $25.00. I once shared your more optimistic...

I think now in retrospect, if you could rename this thread, it should be is BBI the next BGP? There is a great example of a true brick and mortar retail business model trying to stay afloat amidst online competitors like Amazon, etc. BGP also had debt issues. But see what happens when you have...

Without trying to make predictions about the future, as not every consumer in this country has or will have 63" plasma screens anytime soon, Blockbuster's biggest issue right now is their own lack of action. By not jumping on the liability side of their balance sheet when they had the chance...

If you have not used an iPhone by now, I really don't see why you would want to at this point with the DROID X launching this week. DROID X has 8MP camera, bigger 4.3" display with significant superior PQ but most importantly an HDMI port that can capture 720P resolution. So you can basically...

Thanks for the WiFi input, as that will be something I deal with very soon. Since my provider tacks on another $5 or $10 per month, if you want to run it from their equipment, I am just going to buy my own access point and run with that most likely. I don't want to hook up a wireless router to...

How exciting, the DSL modem is in fact a router. I have 4 RJ45 sockets. However 1 of them is labeled LAN/WAN. Can I still connect a computer specifically to this port or not? What else could I use this LAN/WAN socket for since I do not need to hook up a router to the modem now? My service...

Thanks for the checklist.

Exactly and if I am not mistaken I believe I am not running off a direct connection from the CO on top of that issue. Will have to verify that.

Thanks I did not realize routers are now built in. I have not even opened the box yet. I concur that it would be much more streamlined that way. Yes the DSL modem was shipped to me from my provider. I will have to double check subscription rates and services. But I believe right now I have a...

Greetings... Starting from scratch this weekend with a little project. I have 1 PC, 1 windows laptop, and a MAC; all hard drives have been totally wiped. Have a brand new DSL modem and a new Linksys router. I was basically wondering if I should tweak the router settings at all in order to...

In 10 Years I have never ever seen anything like this happen. An official PR and annual corporate shareholder meeting tally of votes last week said the two motions were overwhelmingly approved. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Blockbuster-shareholders-OK-apf-1978737289.html?x=0&.v=1 Dinner...

Blockbuster Says Proposals Fail, Stock Halted >BBIFont size: A | A | A11:30 AM ET 7/1/10 | Dow Jones DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Blockbuster Inc. (BBI) suffered another setback after it announced that two company proposals it previously said had passed at its annual meeting...

Thanks. A spokeswoman for the company does not why its a halt. Strange because its supposedly a T1 halt, which = pending material news. I read the 8K late last night that just came out yesterday evening but apparently no one did until after the market opened this AM. Whats happening is...

This is probably my most favorite thread on the forum. Many great posters and contributions here. As you know, there really is nowhere on the web to discuss this kind of subject matter in quality or substance like context. So I hope you don't mind as I am not trying to get off subject, but I...

Well actually the conversion merger of the B&A shares was approved yesterday per my original DD at the ratio of 1:1 and will be closing in a week or so. You can still squeeze out a couple pennies here on the arb, but some folks picked up a nice 25%-30%++ return.
