Re: Without investors money to expand evapoporates said by moonpuppy:said by fAcEtIOUs:Instead they chose to please investors, Ignore the need of investors to earn an adequate return and the investors disappear. And the money to make all these EXTRA billions for expansion, you so blithely take for granted, wouldn't exist. This is what you get when investors want INSTANT gratification instead of steady income.  When people's contracts end, iPhone moves on to better pastures, and AT&T starts getting mass exodus (like with their POTS and DSL services), I bet their investors won't be happy then. Sure they make a shiny penny today at AT&T's customers' expense, but when the future becomes now they will be singing a different tune.

America | Indeed. "Long term" is more than 2-5 years 
Watch another "baby bell" have to bail out the other baby bell (SBC) who bailed out "ma bell"
What a mess. |

Because the minute it looks like AT&T is losing customers and future earnings growth estimates are depressed, the smart money will pull out and move elsewhere

1 edit | And there you have the life of a stock jockey that will sacrifice tomorrow for today.
I am just curious do you guys actually say out loud "screw everyone else, this is for me" when you wake every morning? |

Let me enlarge it for you:
"My opinions are my own. Anything I say, type, sign, or otherwise express cannot be taken seriously unless supported with valid evidence. These 'opinions' include, but are not limited to, suggestions of alien attack (foreign or other-wise), brain-sucking slugs, or expressing opinions on behalf of the entire human race."
