Many who don't (and hopefully not) go thru anxiety and depression won't really know that "end of the world", "doing anything is useless" and "living is useless" feelings which takes over your mind and heart. Apart from the heavy heart palpitations it comes with.
Totally understand your feeling and am glad you feel this about AMC. Always remember there is Doctor and AMC to make life back to normal.
Speaking from experience.
"....designed to produce a negative outcome for those interested in the company's success and the success of shareholders."
Yes, tell that to those who lost a lot including their underwear just few weeks ago and prior to that with numerous Reverse Splits and Dilutions....rinse & repeat all these years including changing company name few years ago too.
"Those interests are not aligned with shareholders or the company. And I can't find any shreds of facts that might be helpful. Just opinionated nonsense, designed to produce a negative outcome for those interested in the company's success and the success of shareholders."
Are you serious? Where have you been last few months?
Since you brought in Obama.....i have to say he's the worst president ever. Thought Bush was bad but am wrong.
Not a great post! I disagree 100%.
How can this be a great post when shareholders are diluted non-stop like a runaway train without an end to it? And this train has been changing names to get away with it so that newbies won't suspect the past.
Seriously. What is there to be "post of the day!" about this?
Seriously, which corner?
2015? 2020? 2030?
Of course this is pure spin. Kinder word would be pure speculation.
Speculation
Simple. Dilution.
In all your 3 assumptions there are chances and it's likely for ATM dilution followed by Reverse Split.....rinse & repeat by June/July 2016.

A123 deal hangs on secretive federal panel
By Erin Ailworth | Globe Staff | January 09, 2013
In September, President Obama ordered China’s Ralls Corp., led by Wu Jialiang (left), to drop interest in wind farm projects near a Navy base. But Wanxiang America president Pin Ni (right) appears confident that his company will get the OK to buy A123 Systems.
The nearly $257 million purchase of Waltham battery maker A123 Systems Inc. by a Chinese conglomerate hangs on approval by an obscure, secretive federal panel that scrutinizes foreign acquisitions of American businesses to protect national security.
The panel, known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, has approved nearly all the deals it has considered over the past several years, according to committee annual reports. But more recently it has intensified its scrutiny of foreign entities — particularly those from China — seeking to obtain advanced US technologies, presenting a hurdle for Wanxiang America Corp. as it tries to acquire nearly all the assets of bankrupt A123.
The committee has more than quintupled the number of cases that it puts through an extended review, to 40 in 2011 from just seven in 2006. Last month, it reported to Congress for the first time that US intelligence officials believe “there is likely a coordinated strategy” by foreign governments or companies to acquire US businesses to gain access to sensitive technologies.
And in September, President Obama, acting on the recommendation of the panel, became the first president in 22 years to block a foreign investment for national security reasons. He ordered a Chinese company, Ralls Corp., to abandon its interest in four wind farm projects near a Navy base that hosts training missions for drone aircraft.
“There is perhaps more scrutiny given to Chinese companies lately, and that goes to the competitive nature between the US and China,” said Darren Braham, a lawyer at Prince Lobel Tye LLP in Boston, who has worked on CFIUS cases in the past.
Wanxiang’s efforts to buy A123 have attracted particular attention because the battery maker’s technology was developed with the support of tens of millions of US taxpayer dollars. The deal is going through an extended 45-day review, following an initial 30-day period.
Some Republican lawmakers and former US military leaders have urged CFIUS to reject the sale, even though A123’s defense business was sold to an Illinois energy storage company. “Granting a Chinese company access to even the commercial segment of A123’s business will ultimately give it access to Department of Defense financed military technology,” the Strategic Materials Advisory Council, a coalition of former military leaders, said in a recent statement.
Wanxiang, which last year received approval from the committee for a $420 million investment in a Cambridge alternative energy firm, said it expects to win approval again. A decision is expected at the end of the month.
“We have other deals that we got approved very quickly, no issue at all,” said Pin Ni, president at Wanxiang America. “It’s just a process you have to go through.”
CFIUS was created in 1975 under an executive order by President Gerald Ford. Today, the panel has nine standing members, including the secretary of the Treasury, its chair, and the secretaries of Commerce and Defense.
In addition, a number of other federal agencies may participate in the committee’s decisions on whether a business deal threatens national security, which is broadly defined.
The panel analyzed 673 deals from 2006 to 2011, according to public versions of its classified annual reports to Congress. The committee sent only two cases to the president in that time period.
The committee primarily operates in secret, often frustrating foreign companies, which themselves must disclose confidential business information.
If CFIUS rejects the deal, it won’t necessarily disclose why. If it requires the deal to be modified to win approval, it may not say how.
“It’s not uncommon for them to say, ‘We’ve identified national security concerns that we’d like you to mitigate, but we can’t tell you what they are,’?” said Carl Valenstein, a partner with Bingham McCutchen LLP who advises clients on CFIUS reviews. “You’re left guessing.”
By law, CFIUS must make its decisions based solely on national security threats, not politics or economic policies. But recent concerns from investors that deals involving Chinese companies were receiving more scrutiny prompted Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Marisa Lago to reassure executives in China during a trip to Beijing in November.
“President Obama and the US Treasury Department place great importance on the US-China economic relationship, and recognize that investment is an increasingly important part of that relationship,” Lago said in prepared remarks.
Working in Wanxiang’s favor is the company’s large presence in the United States, where it has more than 3,000 employees, and its past success in gaining CFIUS approval, said Chip Roh, who handles international trade and investment cases at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP in Washington.
He noted the approval last year of Wanxiang’s investment in GreatPoint Energy, the Cambridge company developing technology to convert coal to natural gas. “The fact that they’ve already passed once means that CFIUS doesn’t consider Wanxiang some arm of the Chinese intelligence service,” Roh said.

I know we are worried about post R/S dilution. But still since it's now open that Rubin needs to meet $2.00 and $3.00 or let's say post 1:3 R/S $6 and $9 per share does this give us a case to be optimistic that he has to work to turn around to exercise his options?

Honest opinion please.
Wayne Huizenga is a smart guy who grew Blockbuster Video, Waste Management, Inc., and AutoNation into successful companies.
And now he is running SWSH and doing acquisitions after acquisitions.
IMHO, I have a good feeling about him and SWSH though we have to wait patiently.
What's your opinion?
Hi primarywatcher,
I really appreciate your advice. What you said seem to be so true. I think today is the third day and it went down.
Unfortunately, i bought at 2.56. But I try to take it positively and try not be too greedy or miserly. My holding horizon is about 2 quarters and may be much longer.
I am comparing it to Citi but feel more positive on IRE because they have less outstanding shares and capitalization plan needing only euro 5B.
Hi
Is it too late to get in now? I have a ton of "C" stocks, actually about 11K. I am thinking to switch over.
Appreciate any good advise. Thanks.
Excellent reply!!
0.0024 seems to have happened around end of 2008. At least there is evident that this has shot up before.
Btw, when I look back at charts at CNBC website it shows BBDA hit 0.005 in Sep'08 and was trading around 0.25 in 2003. Is this chart correct? Was BBDA in existence for so long?

If MSN and this other website can report on CGAQ and it's the much touted Remote Real-Time Gaming shouldn't it be very credible?
