| Unfreaking believable Wow just wow, it's people like him that are bringing down America. Nothing will be done about this because nobody has the balls to stop corruption. We will always forgive and forget.
Gee I wish I could get richer by sitting on my ass all day watching my company go bankrupt and not do a damn thing about it because I'm already set for life.

| Define Failure ok, let me get this straight. This guy takes over Charter like 2-3 years ago, when its in the worst shape of it's short lived life, makes it more profitable than it's ever been (I believe they made over a Billion last year alone), gets them into Chapter 11, gets 8 Billion shaved off the 20 billion in debt they owe, and most importantly, looks to have them emerging soon from Chapter 11 being able to operate on free cash flow, no longer needing to borrow money just to pay their bills.
This is a failure?
I think some of you take Karl's word as the gospel here. Do any of you follow the whole Charter situation? Heck one guy here was passing judgment on the picture alone. I must be missing something, or is everyone just brainwashed by Karl opinions? He, and his team, may be the best thing that has ever happened to Charter. | |

| Re: Define Failure Yes that is what we call a failure, it seems like he hasn't made the user experience any better, not the speeds, nor the customer service. All he's done is pocketed the company money. A company which hasn't turned a profit for 10 years, shouldn't exist period. 2-4 years loss is normal, 10 is just laughable.

Well it's too bad Karl's article is about Neil Smit and his management team, and not about Charter as a whole, or your argument may hold some validity. You openly admit 2-4 years is normal, and Neil and his team have been in place about what, maybe 3? So your willing to criticize, but you don't logically follow your own view points?
Yes, Charter has not been profitable, per say, in 10 years, but Neil and his team have only been there a small stint. When they come out of Chapter 11 and start turning a profit, then what will Karl and the rest of the cable hating clones start whining about? | |

The stock is already worthless so what's your point? Newsflash!! That's what going in bankruptcy protection means. The stock no longer has value, so your point is quite moot. | |

@telus.net | Define failure? Umm, how about the biggest stockholder selling most of his holdings in the company for slightly under a grand?
And the current .02 share price just reeks of success. | |

You are obviously very confused about the process of Chapter 11. Yes, the stock is worthless, its called going Chapter 11. Once wall street got wind of it a few years ago (and it was pretty apparent this would need to happen for Charter to stay alive), the stock drops drastically. It's the direct nature of the markets, not a result of anything Neil did. | |

| pathetic but is anyone really surprised by this? As the saying goes, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, no matter how much the rich screw up and how much they lose or cause regular people to lose because of there arrogance this will continue to be the way it is. Nothing will ever change. It's pathetic and disgraceful but thats "America" . People losing there jobs and homes but these jokers continue to prosper. Someone has to start putting there foot down and start making all these corporations accountable. | |
