On a related note, if she's declared very publicly that selling this venture would be a failure, what's the exit strategy for her investors? Or (conspiracy alert) they're hoping that her coverage will help the exit strategies of their investments...?
- ChuckMcM 15y agoI don't know how she is running her show, but I note that there is a place for 'revenue' companies. These are companies that pay a dividend on their stock quarterly. This 'old school' concept is based on a the notion that the enterprise in question generates X revenue, and then Y gross margin on that revenue, and divides up the net margin as dividends on a per share basis. That has been a very common way for investors to participate in the success of the company they are invested in. The economic impact is that the share price then moves based on the return compared to other securities in the market (like t-bills, junk bonds, Etc.)
