Also Sears is pretty much kill as of today

2018-10-12 00:24:08 UTC  

Debt holders are trying to force it into bankruptcy, I heard. I guess the settlement they’d get now is probably more than they’d get if they waited for the inevitable implosion?

>-17

2018-10-12 00:31:30 UTC  

Lmfao wtf

2018-10-12 00:32:35 UTC  

you can buy the entire company for $67,695.20

2018-10-12 00:34:57 UTC  

They haven’t posted a balance sheet or anything since 2011

2018-10-12 00:35:19 UTC  

If this beta is literally -17 I have found the ultimate hedge

2018-10-12 00:35:41 UTC  

By ultimate I mean absolutely haunted

2018-10-12 00:39:42 UTC  

$67,695.20 market cap / 800 IE members = $84.62 per member

2018-10-12 00:48:54 UTC  

EV would be market cap + debt

2018-10-12 00:49:02 UTC  

(And preferred stock but lol)

@Jacob They had lots of Blockbusters in Alaska (Anchorage + suburbs, Juneau and Fairbanks, and towns along the in-betweeh highways) as recent as 2012. I guess they shut down after Alaska finally got high-speed internet.

2018-10-12 00:54:17 UTC  

There's still like 5 in Oregon and Texas

2018-10-12 00:55:37 UTC  

I read about it a few months ago. Apparently there's only 1 left 😢

2018-10-12 00:56:24 UTC  

@Jacob There's a little independent rental place in my small OK town. But it makes most of its money as a furniture rental/sales store. It has always doubled. Strangely!

2018-10-12 00:57:52 UTC  

lol some Danish streaming service bought the rights to the "Blockbuster" name

2018-10-12 00:58:19 UTC  

> IE buys out Blockbuster
> gets royalties from Danish streaming service

This stock has been halted since yesterday, tf?

2018-10-12 16:23:12 UTC  

wat mean

2018-10-12 17:03:03 UTC  

@Deleted User it means the exchange has halted trading on it until further notice. Halting happens sometimes, usually only lasts a few hours. It's usually when a gigantic spike in volume causes something weird to happen like crashing the company. In the mean time you can't buy or sell and shares

2018-10-12 17:03:56 UTC  

No, no I understand halting already

2018-10-12 17:04:10 UTC  

just wondering why its been halted this damn long

2018-10-12 17:04:37 UTC  

since close yesterday

2018-10-12 17:08:04 UTC  

Guess I found my answer, but why does it require being halted? Don't other companies just keep trading while getting something reviewed?

2018-10-12 19:22:33 UTC  

@Deleted User yeah that is odd, I thought 99% of trading biotech stocks is to make money during FDA approvals

> The company is also one of just two other global giants that have implemented pay equality across all levels, including low-level employees and top executives.

2018-10-12 23:16:27 UTC  

Could have built the wall with this money

Great resource for anyone interested in defense/tech/intelligence companies.

@SamanthaM Pertaining to the above do you know anything about Thales Group/Arms? My family has a large amount invested in them.
