AT&T will become the new GE. The stock price will fall to the low 20’s to high teens. Arrogant CEO’s with a weak board of Directors destroyed this company. AT&T wasted three years neglecting its core business. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s... — read more
This is not a bad thing
I'm obviously not talking about the money we lost between the acquisition and the sale. But this means we can refocus on what we're good at. We can once again fully focus on the segment that has been holding this whole mess up for the past several... — read more
Next CEO
After all the divestments are finished why do we need both Stankey and McElfresh ? Does Jeffy take down the Stank ?
LOL! Let the piling on begin

NCL and AT&T stock prices
Today, I was looking at the financial news and noticed that Norwegian Cruise Lines and AT&T had the same stock price of $29.00 per share. NCL hasn’t been able to make money in over a year while AT&T provided much needed telecommunication services... — read more
The silver lining of the TW sale
I know this is a bit of a selfish view, but once TW is officially merged with Discovery it means I can actually consider subscribing to it again. After I got the axe in '20 I vowed to not voluntarily give a single penny to T. With both DTV and TW... — read more
Randall and Stanky ruin everything they touch
This sounds exactly like C Micheal Armstrong of the old ATT and his brain dead strategies of buying NCR to be a computer company, buying cable tv systems, etc, then basically giving them away.

Any Warner people on this board?
Warner people have not been immune to layoffs. How do you feel about Stankeys Actions!
Anyone know how many Billions of $ this will cost if the deal is not approved?
Since Stinky wants to exceed his master, Ratty, no doubt the spinoff failure payment to Discovery will beat Ratty's payout to TMOB should it not be approved. Anyone know the exact figure?
Just get Stankey away from cameras and microphones
Walking Talking Toxic Disaster. He needs to be canned immediately.

Not all Stankey's fault
I'm seeng tons of caca loaded on JS but let's not forget who drove this project. T-Mobile, dish, warner were all Randall so I'm pretty sure i know his favorite Steve Miller song..."go on, take the $ and run".
After 50,000 Layoffs And Absolute Chaos, AT&T Ends Its Bungled Media Experiment
https://exaltop.com/?p=15800
AT&T is the laughing stock
Yes, its true, T is the laughing stock of the corporate community. I hope this sullied reputation follows Stankey and BOD the rest of their lives. Could never have imagined T being viewed in the same grouping as Emron and Worldcom.
Let's watch for this
Will the board reprice Stankey's and the BoD's Stock Options? I still have option papers showing that my 1000's of options have a strike price in the high 50's from the 1990's. Yes, I know. They have expired 30 years ago - but it's a daily reminder... — read more

Over a decade of wasted Assets, Cash Flow, and

Market Value
AT&T shareholders will lose $15 billion in market value today and no one will be held accountable! Stankey continues to cruise on, and Randall is at home with $300 million in the bank!!
I have been here for 30 years and there is no
