Lumen Technologies Inc (LUMN)

What Jeff Storey really needs to do is to go into the "stock buying biz" by taking out a near zero percent loan in the current climate and buying FIVE BILLION "more" DOLLARS worth of shares in order to retire another 400MM shares vs. the 80MM that if he is acting now, he is on target to eliminate!

That would really make his business, err, STOCK PRICE GROW without making another GD SALE of communications services which he continues to fail at doing!

Oh, but that can't happen since banks who own the current LESS than $30B debt on Jeff's books, have a GD noose around his neck tying him to INDENTURED SERVITUDE!

If you can't SELL SERVICES, JEFF, buy stock in your enterprise!

Der "LUMEN" to das moonen??? Yaaa... YAAAAAA!!!

[KarlDieGlatze]

While listening on the morning call with the CMO, Shaun Andrews, here is what we have to say aus Deutschland.

AnführerMitWut1 second ago
This analyst has been following these dummies for 20 years, and all he could get caught up in was the gobbly gook about product types and services without the hard question of where or why this great GIANT COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK with so few annual sales in the billions considering the addressable markets they TOUT does NOT have "PRICING POWER!"

Their internet connection sucked and the service provider who was supposed to allow questions with a "link" like other calls we have been on, didn't work or it wasn't visible or they precluded us from asking the question for him!

Sell this Storey's CEO and NETWORK to the highest bidder and be done with it. It's a commodity business with too much supply and too little product differentiation! EOM

[KarlDieGlatze]

Und Morgen die ganze Welt.....NICHT! This is what happens when a bad business model meets a horrific management team telling shareholder about tomorrow forever, but tomorrow never shows up.

Fire this CEO and sell this company lock, stock and barrel....SOFORT!

[KarlDieGlatze]

We can only hope today's creepy slow upward price bias is a final "takeover" to end the MISERY of 23 years filled with false promises, and expectations started by Buffett, Scott and Gates in Omaha.

If we do finally hear "The Telekom Shot Heard Round The World" from Buffett, it will be a "take under," but weary long term owners will finally have their END to this HORRIBLE STOREY!

It would be better to hear a German "TELEKOM" shot instead, however.

[KarlDieGlatze]

The most important communications network in the world connecting eyeballs to eyeballs after 23 years of building and rolling up fiber factories everywhere is unable to hold onto a measly $20B in annual revenues--it is still decreasing--and a $13B Market Cap while hundreds of billions of cost new network capital is DEAD inside MOTHER EARTH.

FN DISASTER and TERRIBLE FN STOREY! The Storey HISTORICALLY is giving away the STORE to "TECH COMPANIES" higher on the "STACK."

Sell this company lock, stock and barrel to the highest bidder ASAP! I have written the FINAL STOREY.

one-can_only_hope_20k shares is 2K$ a month for life from the divy

[jrs5]

Only 10% short interest in this stock, not a short squeeze. Just crazy trading throughout the market this week. This will drift back down to 10. Its a cyclical stock.

[gimmesum]

I cashed out again at 14.05. Hit the stop on the sell off.

Re-entered at 12.07. Very odd activty 2nd half of the day.

[jablome]

15k shares at 12.07

[gimmesum]

Back in at 13.05 today. Nothing but buying right now....

[gimmesum]

The only reason it was on my watchlist was because of the dividend.
I happened to be watching the 5 minute looking for a dip. Entered at 11.45yesterday, out at 15.99 today.

What I thought would be a nice long term hold, turned into an outstanding flip. Still watching close though. Something tells me there is more to this

[jealmc79]

I had been thinking of buying this stock for the dividend when it was $9.50. Should have pulled the trigger. Their customer service being so bad is why I didn’t commit.

[gimmesum]

This ones a little crazy. And I like it.

[chrispy2468]

Yes indeed!!

[Rps1]

This was just like game stop. Short had to cover looking for a big day tommorrow

[fsulevine]

Hmmm... if news has been leaked, I would think the company would call for a “Halt: News pending”. But that would be a longer halt rather than these trading-triggered ones and it would come out on the news feed.

[gimmesum]

I follow Reddit super close. Almost no mention of them the last couple weeks. At least on WSB, I did read about it a few weeks ago in the investing area...

[fsulevine]

Yep!!! I wonder why though? Did that Reddit Group manipulating Gamestock and Blackberry suddenly decide to jump into this one? I’m thrilled! While I am just a small investor trying to slowly build up my Roth IRA (I bought 150 shares about 6 weeks ago), this kind of stuff is awesome! Especially if you look at what my largest holding is doing today! (3900 shares of FCEL... down from 5500 as I have sold in increments on its huge recent rise, some of the proceeds from I used to buy LUMN)

[gimmesum]

Frozen again.... Good times.

[gimmesum]

It shot so fast they froze it. Its back and better then ever. ;o)

[fsulevine]

Maybe it was briefly, but it is back now.

[gimmesum]

This I don't know. I was watching the 5 minute this morning and saw the ask being slapped relentlessly. Then a pull back. Its been slapping ever since....Now a freeze! ;o)

[fsulevine]

Halted?????

[fsulevine]

I don’t see any news from the last hour... what has made it jump suddenly?

[gimmesum]

Happy with my load of 11.45s today.....

[KarlDieGlatze]

What has happened to The Brain Trust on InvestorVillage? They're grasping at straws and patting themselves on the back as though they are the smartest tools in the shed to ever latch onto a Storey that for 22 Years continues to DESTROY capital in the form of equity.

Here is a hint....GTT's infrastructure business is a poor comparison because much of it is NON TERRESTRIAL and consists of sub sea cables that are economically INFERIOR to the multiple CONDUIT DOMESTIC NETWORK in the U.S. that Lumen maintains.

Stated differently, sub sea fiber cables do not follow SILLYCONeconomics like terrestrial backbone networks do.

Maybe the EBITDA multiple is more correct at 20, making the equity value worth $136 per share including net debt of 32B.

Remember that I have valued this network at 100 PPS like I did Overstock.com more recently, and I don't expect to be wrong in the next few years!

However, Warren Buffett has already figured this out before The New Year rings loud and clear.

[eastunder]

Not encouraging!

[jealmc79]

Still don’t have a modem. Was told it would be here two days ago. Called yesterday and found out the order was never completed. Don’t know how they could tell me the modem would be here two days ago if the order was never completed.

So after another 45 minutes on the phone I got the lady to complete the order, I think. This time I got what was supposed to be a verification email. Email doesn’t say anything about a modem or order number. According to it I ordered some “terms of service”. Called back to verify order was completed. Another 20 minutes on the phone they verified the order was completed and should be here tomorrow, two weeks to get a modem if it shows up tomorrow.

[eastunder]

I don't have century link in my home. I don't own the stock. But my Mother has it at her house and her internet service is horrific. Slow. Slow. Slow! I can't imagine putting up with it!

So to be told to use their website for their customer service would be torture in itself!

Sorry about your broken Modem!
