It's crazy how fast things can change in any part of the corporate landscape once the right dominoe falls. Last week, basically every major media and telecom company was presenting at Moffettnathanson's conference. I follow the media and telecom space pretty closely for reasons that are very obvious to longtime blog readers (my largest positions […]

Let me start this post by noting two things: I've been short T for a longtime, and I'm long DISCA (and a few other Malone holdings). I just put that out there for both disclosure stake and so that you know I might be coming at this with a slight bias. Anyway, this morning I […]

Regular readers don't need a reminder, but I've been more than a little obsessed with SPACs recently. Almost all of my recent public posts and ideas have mentioned SPACs in some form, and I even did an interview with ReutersGMF entirely focused on SPACs. The reason I'm so obsessed is simple: while, as a whole, […]

This post is a little different than my normal posts (it's not about SPACs, cable / media / Liberty, or cruise lines). I'm a complete tourist in the bitcoin and crypto space; to my detriment, I've never bought or sold one (though some friends and I bought a digital horse on a lark and, I […]

At the beginning of the year, Comscore (SCOR) announced a "strategic investment" from Charter, Qurate, and Cerberus ("the buyers"). The buyers bought $204m in convertible preferred stock, and in exchange Comscore got cash to pay off basically all of their debt as well as an agreement with Charter (and Comcast!) for "long-term data rights to […]
