It will never come to fruition. There will be hundreds of lawsuits filed to stop this sinister deal that soaks the existing shareholders with massive dilution while Shari walks away with cash.
It doesn’t have to do with political beliefs or the amount, it has to do with independence of the Board. That’s why it’s up for shareholder vote…I for one, will be voting no.
I wouldn’t say their valuation is ludicrous necessarily, given what they raised money on before and the expected growth rate (I’d say overvalued), but what I find ludicrous is why this would be a good deal for Paramount - what are we buying here that we don’t already have?
Considering the gov is currently hiring 71k individuals a month countering the public markets unemployment rate, sure everyone will be working in the DMV and GDP will be booming thx to never ending gov paychecks:4640:
Not true, check the job numbers on bls.gov before you start your BS - it’s 44k at Federal. States are actually hiring much more now (330k+) but neither of those numbers takes into account job turnover. According to FRED, government employed 22,830,000 in 2019, and 23,270,000 in 2024. So it has grown, but by 1.93%. Meanwhile GDP has grown 19%…
Twitter was a principled buy, to protect and enhance free speech. I'm happy that there is a billionaire out there that's willing to burn 44 billion for the greater good.
Anyone hear of how he’s doing? I have a couple of small drawings that he did for me about 10 years ago. Would love to get back in touch if he’s still around
That's what I used to think. I was having a pleasant dream that the law would be followed and minority shareholder rights would be respected. Then I had to wake up and smell the coffee. They are just looking to get under the umbrella of the business judgment rule using as much moonshine and hope as possible. And magic beans. Boucoup magic beans.
Don’t really want to rely on legal cases or a settlement to protect our interests. But I still think the deal result in a way better price than today in 1-3 years time.
Everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. Skydance reportedly says that after they grab 41/90+% of the equity that's held by PARA shareholders for nothing their interests will be aligned with minority shareholders so a travesty like they are perpetrating by paying off Shari Redstone never can happen again.
Bloomberg article has some interesting tidbits that make it sound like the Skydance deal could be the one to turn the company around. A merger with a Peacock or Max, selling off BET and some other assets…could shape up to be positive

I don’t like having lawsuits being what I’m relying on but I agree overall
Elon doesn’t think rational
k-hole
Never got the concept to screw people out of what they’ve earned because of my own political beliefs. To each their own.

"Sony and Apollo are also in discussions with Legendary Entertainment about participating in the proposed deal."
This is a much better deal…
No problem. Yeah it’s ludicrous.

Now say A.I. three times.

Sesame futures ala Silicon Valley is all I can think of
I filed a claim with
How much did you get?
Yes. Not as much as I would like because of current position size, but yes. Fundamentals are fundamental.

What do folks think of Paramount buying out NAI? Any chance of this happening, do you see any issues with it?
Super easy. Expand your working time horizon by 30 more years. Done, at $5M.
Anyone hear of how he’s doing? I have a couple of small drawings that he did for me about 10 years ago. Would love to get back in touch if he’s still around
Prove deez nuts.
Haha, excellent job showcasing you are a true redditor
Yes! If anyone has a copy of that list of sub members with large share counts it's a place to start from
That would’ve been a great place to start. Who was a mod of the old sub?
So bizarre that they shut it down
How long does this usually last in the fridge?
Did you figure this out? I was wondering if it would freeze well or not otherwise
No, I never tried making it. I know store bought cafe yumm sauce does not freeze well, it will separate
Yeah it doesn’t freeze well, I tried that, but it’s got some ingredients that aren’t here
Same. Jeez
One director (a Hasbro CEO) died.
He stepped down…permanently.
I got a letter. The settlement says if everyone claims we get a buck and change per share. Blargh.
3750 B shares
You can add 4,461 from me
Write a letter to the board of directors. Email:
Where did you get this email? Is it legit? Thanks!

That’s right. Worst case we’re in for an even longer ride. But the assets have their value.

Paywall. Anyone able to post the article?
