Looks like we close at .50, GLTA!
very nice
I would assume the studios are in it to make money, and having your chosen distributor go bankrupt and close-up shop, poses logistics problems, as well as alienates the remaining distributors. I dont think the studios would have done this if they thought it would come back to bite them. By giving Blockbuster this 28 day window, it couldn't have made the ones waiting very happy.
Why do you think the studios gave them the 1 month deal? Seems silly and potentially damaging if they are going bankrupt.
Does ANYBODY here really think Q1 will look good? Honestly. TIA
Just had a thought Freddie, if there were alot of shorts to cover, wouldn't the bad numbers from Q1 be a great time to cover from the anticipated sell off?
Is this a good stock?
I dont care about the Q1 numbers. All I care about is this stocks performance, freddie. By the way looking at your short squeeze "prediction", I noticed you posted that the 3rd day of a 4 day run.

Right on, so you think a short squeeze happened here already?
I remember them lasting longer, BWTFDIK?
So what made you think it was a short squeeze?
Is the bankruptcy you predict, before or after the shorth squeeze you predict?

BBI is set for a huge short squeeze / pop on Monday and is headed to $1.20+, imo.
Are you taunting folks? It sounds like it.
I hate waiting in line for Redbox, for the person in front of you to DECIDE. Not to purchase it, but to DECIDE! I quit using it because of that reason.FWIW

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements may also be included from time to time in our other public filings, press releases, our website and oral and written presentations by management. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “targets,” “seeks,” “could,” “intends,” “foresees” or the negative of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, initiatives, objectives, plans or goals are forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current intent, belief, expectations, estimates and projections. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may vary materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. The risk factors set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and other matters discussed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including the “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Risk Factors” sections of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, among others, could
1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
affect future results, causing these results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. In particular, there is no assurance that our recapitalization efforts will be successful prior to the date of the rescheduled annual meeting or at all. In the event that the risks disclosed in our public filings cause results to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements, our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity could be materially adversely affected and investors in our securities could lose part or all of their investments.

Miami ice: Florida banks face possible seizure
Sunshine State's long-term allure may have delayed wave of bank closures
05/15 12:17 PM
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- BankUnited Financial (BKUNA:$0.8016,$-0.0784,-8.91%) , the largest lender based in Florida, warned earlier this week that it could be seized by regulators. Many smaller banks might face a similar gloomy fate as the real estate crisis lingers in the Sunshine State -- but there is a ray of hope.
When Florida's real estate slump finally ends, the state could still be a very attractive place for banks to do business. Indeed, some experts say the long-term allure of the state may be the main reason why so few Florida banks have failed so far -- and why a bidding war for BankUnited may still be brewing.
"We have many problem banks and we may be losing our biggest," said Kenneth Thomas, a banking expert and economist based in Miami. "But when things get better, Florida will come back strong and those who are positioned well in the banking sector will benefit."
A Florida recovery seems a long way off, though.
In Miami, homes are staying on the market for nearly 250 days on average, by far the slowest inventory turnover of ten major U.S. cities tracked by Altos Research. Miami has experienced the slowest market turnover every month since September 2007.
Bauer Financial, which tracks the health of U.S. banks, rated 58 Florida-based banks "problematic" or worse at the end of 2008.
BankUnited, based in Coral Gables, garnered Bauer's lowest rating. Miami-based Ocean Bank, one of the largest independent commercial banks in Florida, and Orion Bank, a big community bank in Naples, also got Bauer's lowest rating as of the end of last year.
On the regulatory front, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said May 8 that it's opening an office in Jacksonveill with space for 500 temporary staff and contractors. The new location will help the regulator "manage receiverships and to liquidate assets from failed financial institutions primarily located in the eastern states," it said.
More than 5% of loans made by Florida banks were either delinquent or not accruing at the end of last year, according to the FDIC. That was up from 1.98% a year earlier.
Residential mortgages made up 145% of these banks' tier 1 capital, while commercial real estate loans -- a bigger concern for regulators these days -- made up 449% of tier 1 capital, according to the FDIC.
And Florida banks' commercial real estate exposure is larger than banks in other problem states such as California, Nevada and Arizona, FDIC data show.
Root of the problem
The main problem in Florida has been over-building: There are still too many new homes, condominiums and commercial real estate projects to be sold in the face of waning demand.
Billionaire Warren Buffett said earlier in May that there were some signs of stabilization in the housing market, particularly in California, citing data from Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK/A:$90,200.00,00$600.00,000.67%) real estate brokerage business, which is one of the largest in the U.S.
However, Buffett also warned that the real estate market in southern Florida could be a problem for a long time, because of the huge supply of recently built, unsold properties.
Unfinished condo projects are particularly tricky for Florida banks to deal with, according to Karen Dorway, president and director of research at Bauer Financial in Coral Gables.
If a bank takes possession of a half-built condo project with 20% of the units sold, it has to finish the construction, find someone to manage it, deal with condo associations that may have already formed and then try to sell all the remaining units, she explained.
That's a lot tougher than repossessing a single-family home, she added.
"We're starting to see pockets of improvement nationwide, but in Florida there's a huge amount of surplus property that's been built," Dorway said. "We have to get through the inventory, and half-built projects have to be dealt with."
It's a problem affecting other banks based outside Florida that have been active in the state.
Chicago-based Corus Bancshares , which was a leading lender for condo construction in cities including Miami, warned on May 1 that banking regulators may place it into "conservatorship or receivership."
The FDIC considers 252 U.S. banks troubled, and economist Thomas reckons that could rise to roughly 300 soon, with about 10% of those in Florida.
And yet, only four Florida banks have been closed since the beginning of 2007, according to the FDIC. In neighboring Georgia, 12 have failed and nine have been seized in California during the same period.
Georgia was particularly "over-banked" and has other idiosyncrasies that may have caused more bank failures in that state.
'Inherent value'
However, Thomas said bank regulators may have held off closing some Florida banks because there's more value to such lending businesses located in the state.
One of the most populous states, Florida has a fast-growing Hispanic community. These two attributes make it one of the states that any major U.S. bank must be in to became a leading player in the business, Thomas explained.
"A Florida franchise has inherent value unlike most other states," Thomas said, noting that this may be why regulators haven't shut down BankUnited yet.
"Regulators have been slow to pull the trigger," he added. "They feel that there's enough franchise value there for them to get somebody to acquire it while it's still open."
Spokesmen at the FDIC and the Office of Thrift Supervision, which regulates BankUnited, declined to comment specifically about the bank.
However, OTS spokesman William Ruberry said the regulator always tries to help struggling banks re-capitalize before shutting them down.
"We do everything we can when institutions are open and operating to help them find other sources of capital if needed," he explained.
Indeed, there are several bidders interested in BankUnited.
Goldman Sachs Group (GS:$134.4200,$0.8200,0.61%) has reportedly teamed up with Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD:$40.63,00$-0.42,00-1.02%) to work on a potential bid. A Goldman spokesman declined to comment.
Bloomberg News said Thursday that a group of private-equity firms led by John Kanas, the former chief executive of Long Island, N.Y.-based North Fork Bancorp, expressed an interest in acquiring BankUnited. However, they want to purchase the lender once it goes into receivership, Bloomberg noted.
Other potential bidders include private-equity firm J.C. Flowers & Co., Bloomberg added.
"Banking in Florida is still going to be difficult for some time," Dorway said. "But long term, Florida will be a good place to bank."
Cool Beans...
Who wants 100 shares at 30?
Maybe a market order gone awry?
Holey Shamoley...
Ask was pretty thin. Then again, so was the bid.
ISEG lost patience at .275...
Weird, weird, weird...
Fickle Bid
ISEG going big both ways...ask thinning...
Exactly, plus trillions of dollars in infrastructure spending in the near future should bode well. Isn't DSUP somewhat of a leader in the type of materials needed? Or am I wrong?
An extension would be better than a draw I suppose. Tells me that the banks want to do something. I don't know what it will tell the market.
