It’s been a terrible start to the week for CNN, no one can argue that. But their “Breaking News Release” that they are changing their format to go with a COMPLETE COMEDY FORMAT.
They have spent all day trying to regain what little respect they ever had after the Mueller report.
They had their most exposed expert Avenatti arrested for fraud and extortion. Now we learn his co conspirator in his extortion attempt was Marc Geragos, another CNN legal analyst and atty for such great characters as Jussie and Michael!!! And shocking news today that CNN says he no longer works for the network!!!
But for those who like to day trade in stocks, I’ve been doing a great deal of analysis on the equity play here (having your own Bloomberg adds to expenses but I use the service a lot!). Here’s the skinny:
What makes this format change attractive is the underlying cost savings. Zucker is no dummy. He gets that as a credible news outlet he’s Toast. His ratings can get any lower. But with minimal marketing dollars spent on this format transition he saves a boat load on talent. He already figured out he’s got the best comics in cable news. They are the laughing stock second to none. And comedians get paid a whole lot less than dishonest journalists.
I mean think about it: Acosta as the “Great Carnac” and Blitzer as “Foster Brooks”?!?! Niether of them need to do anything different! Zucker is a genious!!!
Conservatively I see a 30% gain in less than a month for this trade!

Perhaps, but how much lower can they get, do you think?

Best way to explain is asking you to evaluate the equity evaluation in your own venture here. How low has it gone or how low is it going. Tough questions for those willing to put their own capital at risk. Always has been and, hopefully always will be. It’s the key difference in execellence between socialism and capitalism: what works?
But let’s take your venture:
Is it growing or do you have the same stagnant two dozen or less viewers (posters) providing most of the content over time? Think we know that answer!!!
Can outside viewers predict what the hosts (mods and 20/80 posters) will answer to or provide the same biased information before any discussion occurs.(You already know this is a problem here)!
Is there a predicted bias upon posters who provide a different background and “working lifestyle” that may be foreign to the 20/80 base of your board?
I’m pretty sure the equity value of your venture and CNN are on the same path.
But since you have asked for my response, I would LOVE TO DISCUSS WITH YOU! I would welcome it once you take me off your arbitrary queue. Could be a defining moment to your equity valuation here. Might show confidence and you’re up to it and credibility where it is obviously a fear from one who actually creates jobs! But then jobs don’t seem to be common denominator for a good portion of hosts here!!
Let me know Shades. Would love the conversation!
