Good Lord - MG stock price

[Moderator1]

An old friend from the paper showed up at our game last night and we were chatting about this and that.
He noted that Media General's stock had fallen from 4 to 2.96 yesterday.
As I type this, it sits at 2.11.

Good lord. I recall (fondly) when it was over 100.

2.11??

This is worse than I thought and I wonder if there's any way possible for it to get better.

2.11??

Gold Lord?

And I saw on Poynter that McClatchy stock had dropped to a point where toilet paper is now more valuable.

I was so stunned I couldn't type.
It rallied to 2.19 while I was typing.

Isn't that what the experts call a buying opportunity?

 

[Mizzougrad96]

That's way too high... :)

That's it, I'm winning the lottery and buying the company.

You can do that now with a $1,000 scratch off winner.

Well, ****, I'l just go to the casino and play some cards then.

Buy all that debt.

Go ahead.

Grab that hot stove.

Feeling lucky?

$2.11 a share? That's $2.10 more than Journal Register stock is worth.

Closing bell: $1.52 per share. That was actually up 1 cent today. It's up another cent in after-hours trading.

Yes, as a matter of fact I am.

Gatehouse Media today : 5 cents. Original price just about a year and a half ago (should that be hyphenated? Another thread, I guess): about 21 bucks.
Is there a media stock that isn't tanking?

Peace be with you.

If you don't win, just do what this guy did.

Good times...the RT-D redesigned its site. It looks impossibly worse than the joke of a site that was there when I worked there.

http://www.timesdispatch.com/

Even better: the reader comments...

[2muchcoffeeman]

Not the usual reader comments, either: they're literate.

And universally negative. :D

I just clicked on the second story from the "Continuous News Desk," about the U.Va. fullback, and it took me to some completely different page. Awesome.

Isn't this the same design all MG papers have? Winston-Salem's site is very similar.
