So sad... There's a thread in cloudynights that seems to indicate they have a buyer. Unsure if they would just liquidate the stock or start printing the titles again, if it even goes through. Here's hoping for the best. https:&#x

The difference lies in their enormous existing lease obligations. Most corporate leases are for 10 years and they have very large payments that must be made, so it's not like they can just easily scale back in the loss-making locations

Average daily volume of VOO over the last 60 days is about 2,000,000 shares. At ~$200/share (it's actually about $220 right now), that's about $400m dollars daily, so unloading $1m would be well under 1% of shares traded in a

The simple answer is if you IPO at a certain price and declare you don't plan on growing at all, then nobody will participate in your offering or buy your shares in the open market. It's just a fact of life that as a public compan

Cheap to extremely cheap. Newark has been plagued with low employment and violence for a long time, although it is currently going through a bit of an uptick thanks mostly to investments in the downtown area and general positive attention d

While looking at the cap structure might lead to this conclusion, I would bet the farm on the fact that she's gotten some cash out of all of these rounds, or simply through bonuses. Being the CEO of a high profile company (at least in
