Chick Filet win very interesting since many if not most of their venues are "free standing" much like McDonald's......Notrom form the Investor Village board once mislead me that McDonald's would follow LVLT, now CTL's Starbucks/Google win earlier. Where is poor Notrom? He must really be dead.

It looks like CTL has very focused abilities to single standing venues with their fiber runs now, and this is a big change especially since they are not doing it without making high returns on their capital.

Jeff sounds tired. He's working hard, but he's a doing a damn good job. Keep it up, so you can finally cede T and VZ and not be treated like they have treated you and your shareholders for way too long now considering the SUPERIOR NETWORK you own and control. EOM

CTL 15.16.....13.34% divi

[KarlDieGlatze]

From my friend Anführer to YAHOOLIGAN on Yahoo Finance where speech censorship is alive and well:

Dummkopf! Heil Chinese Premier LI then! May the German Ethnic Leader Trump von Kallstadt, Deutschland in Duhmerika kick that short Asian man's butt in Buenos Aires this weekend!

It's about time somebody put the breaks on those short criminal Asian Task Masters stealing intellectual property rights while acting as patent terrorists around the globe!

And, we look forward to taking your money since we are superior to you and your ilk in every shape, manner and form.

Du bist ein Arschloch!

[pack10]

I personally don't feel the divy has much to do with it. Unless some feel it could be lowered.

Good articles recently on this company by an independent source. Company is in good shape, dividend remains.
sorry don't have the link handy.

[jimmy$teel]

Why is CTL stock price dropping after they just announced their normal dividend

[KarlDieGlatze]

Not with the CABAL at GSucks led by CRAMMER in ATTACK MODE will this be bottom. They have identified SIXTEEN price target on Yahoo Message Board already. We moved back to defensive mode with deep ITM covered calls on Wednesday understanding this.

When they are in ATTACK MODE it's all about PHANTOM ILLEGAL shares to have their way, and that's what continues to happen in order to create the back draft on the stock price.

"Yahooligan" appearing on the Yahoo Finance Message Board is part of that EVIL cabal who works their BOILER ROOM. We have encountered him locally, even in the FLESH with him seeking us out personally, and have positioned accordingly.

You don't fight the Wrong Street Cabal until block chain takes their criminal enterprise away.

Overstock.com is succeeding at that, and just needs a couple more years before GSUCKS sees the billions in their trade turn into the VAPORWARE that they have performed against companies they don't like with PHANTOM SHARES and ILLEGAL naked short selling. BTW, FU DAVE. IMO

[KarlDieGlatze]

This morning, the best performing index is the XLC where CTL had been placed into it with final touches in September. That's where all CRAMMER the CRIMINAL front runner for GoldMEN SUCK has been pushing the FAANG stocks that have been pummeled as part of his touting.

Even though CTL represents only 1 percent of the content of that index, it has been decimated percentage wise since FAANG began its Wall Street dump part, yet even today, CTL is down exponentially while XLC goes up.

The only solace for DuhMerikans will be when they finally INCARCERATE insider traders like Crammer and the Goldmen Criminals. IMO

[pack10]

I see a good uptick coming in this stock. Many good things happening and look forward to a mid twenty pps

[KarlDieGlatze]

2morrow is October 29th, and Stock Market Crash Day. It will begin in Asia where Asian Task Masters are going to take the dirty bath they deserve at their close b4 we open.

Let us be "KLAR." For no reasons at all, this garbage company with a CEO who has a BAD HEART has corrected more than 20 percent as in "BEAR MARKET" even while it represented an insignificant ONE PERCENT weighting in the NEW communications index it became part of in September.

You shouldn't be asking Y as part of this SIGNIFICANT selling compared to its PEERS, you should be SELLING at the OPEN really hard.

Now that I have rid this board of charlatans like Fran, deCEitful and Mdege from India whose wife supports his bad habits, I can protect the rest of you fools who latched onto this DEBT LADEN monster. A mammoth debt burden in concert with being a company who is "NOT A GROWTH COMPANY" and can't and won't grow their TOP LINE! IMO

[KarlDieGlatze]

Hooligans are up to their dirty tricks of censoring free speech again.

Let me reiterate what my friend, Anführer, said earlier:

Duhmerika is really breaking apart at its seam(again). This attack on Meghan Kelly is factual proof of the ignorance which permeates their land. If I want to be black, white, asian, indian from america or india, wtf cares!

Maybe these SHEOPLE need a real crisis to test their faith in who they are and what they stand for.

Oh, that's right, the criminals running the stock market racket are doing that for them whilst designing a new Bear Market to confront them with.

Imagine how much better the world might be, had Deutschland and Japan won the war.

http://time.com/3684409/man-in-the-high-castle-amazon-pilot-nazis/

Or, maybe DuhMerikans are going to be overrun by The Chinese and Russians before their Empire unravels. IMO

[KarlDieGlatze]

Actually you are both wrong and jealous(Fran and CE Yahooligans), and can't shine my shoes in understanding options as a strategic investment. It's also a RIGGED GAME as you should know. Using them keeps earning more than ten percent "monthly" after tax in addition to dividend is working well for this under performing company with its misfit CEO.

I had the lucky #22....in size but much smaller than full position request because greedy Singaporeans hogged up the tranche b4 me. And, when they refused to fill the larger stake, I KNEW they/YOU CRIMINALS were stopping the full press xpiration RUN there!

I did sell some $20 traders at $22 yesterday 2 because I wanted to feed the criminals what wasn't going to hold by day's end, and of course, I was RIGHT! Booking more high percentage net of tax profits is good for me.

I wouldn't be so short sighted to write $20-$21.50 because those are my short term trading "buy entry" points before Storey screws up this coming "LOSS REPORT." $20-$22 is a nice ten percent trading area...and I dare you criminals to take it higher weil ich mehr Geld verdiene!

Notice how using a cash account for "covered calls" keeps those shares in my vault and not theirs/yours.

Refer to Munger's advice on envy and start making money versus hoping this STOREY pans out GELD for you, since history proves it only DESTROYS WEALTH.

Geld or Destroy Wealth, it's your choice, Dummkopfs! IMO

Giving it a 10 Multiple for what is NOT a Growth company still 2 High--ten years first dollar payb back--but makes a $16.00 stock price for Asians from Singapore to bask in. Next question, please. The stock will go down more. Karl Crowe

[KarlDieGlatze]

AnführerMitWut in 8 seconds...WHY Do Yahooligans keep removing educational, and historical posts from mein guter Freund, AnführerMitWut? What are they trying to HIDE from investors and speculators alike?

FYI

How wrong Crowe Blow was about this. Nobody even talks about the advantages of "multi conduits" and the fact that the same fiber is being sliced up via DWDM so that no NEW FIBER has been needed to fill any additional DUCTS. Rather, they continue to use "newer" optical equipment by increasing spaces between regeneration huts that are further distances away from each other.

How wrong Crowe was, and by DEFAULT so are CTL shareholders who own and maintain all the empty pipes in the U.S. including Qwest's continue to be SOL. This is what Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Walter Scott screwed up with Crowe leading their bandwagon back on April Fools Day, 1998! What a sad STOREY is being INHERITED 2day.

IMO

http://news.centurylink.com/news?item=124918

Today, we believe that there are only twelve empty nationwide conduits and Level 3 has eleven of them. Neither of the companies you cite as potential beneficiaries of the technology has continuous empty conduits along the length of their networks and thus would, at best, have a "patch quilt" implementation.

You state that "Level 3 understood that pricey optical fiber is cheaper than inexpensive copper. But so far, it has failed to grasp the new paradigm. That light is cheaper than fiber." This is incorrect. We have said over and over that optical technology, i.e. light, is key to our future success. However, we also believe that fiber is a key part of optical technology, not a separate technology, as you seem to imply. In fact, we believe that the best economics are achieved by the proper combination of wavelengths of light, bit rate and spacings between expensive equipment sites.

In order to achieve unit cost reductions for transmission capacity, we have designed our network with multiple conduits to deploy successive generations of fiber to exploit improvements in transmission electronics. Optimizing transmission electronics to exploit specific generations of fiber optic technology provides transmission capacity on the new fiber more cost effectively than deploying new electronics on previous generations of fiber.

TMUS' CFO is calling the removal of Sunit Patel from CTL a "COUP." It's interesting considering that Carter's boss, Legere, was the whooping boy at Global Crossing for CTL's largest shareholders today, "The Singaporeans."

Call it what he likes for the time being, but Legere himself is a bit of a charlatan so that his CFO is seemingly learning from his master.

One thing I do know is that Legere couldn't light a candle to CRoWe of LVLT before Storey, but he definitely "fiber light" years ahead of the boring Storey who can't "GRoW" according to Crowe's dreams.

As for Sunit, if they're going to talk "COUP" SMACK, I am going to wish that his new German/Japanese Task Masters work him to death in his new PINK MAGENTA shirt and finds himself as sunILL the same way the Watsa boys predicted he would be if he didn't follow their playbook to the exact NOTE making sure all payments were made when DUE! IMO

[KarlDieGlatze]

Fran the Tool on Yahoo: TMUS is at a TEN YEAR high readying to break above $70 and take out an even earlier 2008 HIGH closer to $80. Time to buy TMUS for the FOURTEEN PERCENT upside PATEL just brought to their company. He's full of the spicy, magical, Mumbai, Mongolian sauce, didn't you know that? Secret's in Sunit Sauce. Or was that VOIP years ago! LOL, IMO

[KarlDieGlatze]

Charles T. Munger said at Cal Tech circa 2008, "If Asians including the Chinese have more wealth than The Mungers in a century, then so be it!"

They may indeed have more wealth than The Mungers through CTL including its ongoing EVOLUTION assuming those two wise men from Omaha continue neglecting to pay their owners "after tax" dividends amounting to as much as fourteen percent on more timely purchased CTL shares! They're both too old and need to put Warren's Elmer Fudd elephant gun aside, by paying a handsome dividend to themselves and other less noteworthy Berkshire shareholders. IMO

[KarlDieGlatze]

What a crock of crap Storey still! Your LVLT/ CTL has continued along the same sorry path for more than 20 years now, that being their inability to grow top lines via silicon economics with the same old excuses about "legacy" businesses being weaned off. There lies the problem inside the fact that almost every new product that this company creates or follows into, becomes "legacy." Lather, rinse and repeat The Storey until Vegas becomes a desolate desert again as it should and will. IMO

From Yahoo Finance CTL message board:

<Hopefully, we Longs will all be able to visit Vegas soon, without a "buyout" but with continued "buy-in"! jmo>

[KarlDieGlatze]

When Storey can raise prices on those Apple fruit cakes and others, we will buy more stock. Until then, he is struggling to be an EBITDA growth company with a period certain where expenses can no longer be wrung out. IMO

Ready for the bounce-back! This stock has been great! It had to shake up a little; I mean it was positive every day for a while now. It will continue its positive streak --especially as they continue to cut costs and increase revenues with their new business plan.

Great stuff! I had 1850 sh @ 17.85 bought another 730 sh this AM at the open @ $19.85, now trading around $20.50 AND I get paid 11% just to wait. Gotta love it!

[KarlDieGlatze]

A German Leader with Rage over in Hooligan Land just put a $72 price target on the stock before Comcast is forced to buy them in less than six years when their IRU's left over from LVLT expires.

IT's a "tax free dividend" for as far as the eye can see before then, and at 3 percent tax free yield on $2.16 per share yearly dividend, target price is attained.

Did anyone hear CenturyLink rewriting Level 3 Communications' history to make it appear like they are facilitating Level 3's network to get to the 3rd layer of the internet stack, when in fact, Level 3's name was derived from building the first THREE LAYERS of the internet?

Maybe they should stop rewriting the STOREY and get to driving upward their TOP LINE with these services to new CLOUD CUSTOMERS including Oracle who will now sign up with AT&T and VZ like Google, Microsoft and Amazon before them?

That's an ugly STOREY though, isn't it? Because truth be known there is no "product differentiation" to his DUMB PIPE NETWORK STOREY even at Level 3, until the get to the top of the stack where the Tech Titans are who hardly pay them for their backbone services! IMO

https://www.fiercetelecom.com/telecom/centurylink-connects-oracle-cloud-to-serve-enterprise-customers

[KarlDieGlatze]

Including the recent takeover of CenturyLink by Level 3 Communications for nearly twenty years, this company continues to be unable to grow the top line even while their CEO's from Crowe to now Storey say that the communications market is theirs to take majority share in. There is always a "new product" that is connected to "new growth" at the expense of old products being replaced and a declining revenue base as a result. SillyCon Economics has yet to work here when pondering Intel's chip market where comparisons by leadership inside this company have made. The STOREY is sorry, similar to the CEO's current health status, and as I remain on record, he is fast running out of time to vindicate himself and his long suffering share owners till death does them part. Paying a dividend in between while mammoth debt hangs over our heads($30 plus billion) and mammoth outstanding shares(Over 1 Billion) to the exclusion of growing revenue on the top line like a "growth company," is a recipe for death of a business model greeting all of his shareholders sooner rather than later. IMO
