Is the fact that subscriptions are recurring accounted for? If you get 1k subscriptions a month at 2.50 each, on month 2 you make 5k, no 2500 (assuming no drop off) Also, I would say that the vast amount of streamers revenue comes from dona

I think the point is, there current business model of catering to low end clientele is NOT working. They need to reinvent themselves and this is what I feel has the most legs of keeping them alive. The margin for high end goods is much more

You definitely could- But that of course holds true for best buy as well. The draw is that walking into a Radio Shack could be 'cool' again. See the latest gear that just came out. If they really embraced it, it would have the sam

Nobody seems to have a good answer for what RS should become to avoid shutting down. The most common answer is to go back to its roots and embrace the maker market and stock up on things like 3d printers, breadboards and arduinos. I think t

Its very telling of IAC what they are pulling. I have spoken to Sean a few times (way in the past) and its insulting what they are doing. Hes created a great company (and has done so several times- orgoo, adly, etc.) He has proven his worth

Loans dont work that way in 2014. There is no bank in their right mind who would grant a loan to buy this, even at 90% down. The 2007/8 crash changed how banks and loans operate. If anyone lent any money, it would be private investment
