LVLT - Level 3

[Guest ValueCarl]

Hmm, are you saying Frances Chou is next to "convert" his fifteen percent convert bonds at approx. twenty two percent in a little less than 1.5 years of "PREPAID USURY," Ben Graham?  ;)

 

This gentleman, much like Ivan Seidenberg of Verizon, "Hey Ivan, watch out for that (3) tree, you crazy POLE CLIMBER!," has come a long way since climbing TELEPHONE POLES for Bell Canada!    

 

I only know this as my guide when attempting to attribute Buffett like characteristics to other men. When WEB attaches his name exclusively to common stocks based upon history, from the onset of such capital investments, owners who were there before him, are almost sure to see MULTIPLES of the stock price touted when he began, including based upon the initial notice of the NEWS for Mr. Market's consumption.

 

This being said, we can only hope that Messr's Watsa and Chou have such "MARKET POWER" behind their names which as far as I can tell, is NOT the case today! Mr. Munger has laid the gauntlet down for these men. He says, (3) goes into the "too hard to figure out pile."  

 

I am sure Mohnish Pabrai might say, "Heads I win, Tails I don't know what the hell happens!"  ;)          

[Guest ValueCarl]

These men Ben Graham is counting on, have acted as the most expensive plumbers posing as financiers traversing God's green earth whilst using their PLUNGERS to clear the severe back up of stinky toilet bowl turds which had begun pouring out to the living rooms of (3) owners during the credit crisis implosion.

 

Let's just hope when Jim Crowe looked into their eyes after Sunit addressed the usury terms they would get away with charging even while they might get flushed down the toilet bowl with him if he had refused to "suck it up," saw men of high quality character who were intent on ensuring together, they would succeed wildly in the "equity participation" they were amassing. There is nothing more important than the "character" of men when they join together at the hip surrounding the business of "money." I wouldn't give terms or accept terms from any man, no matter how great or terrible they might be perceived as, unless I trusted their intentions were undoubtedly being supplied in the pursuit of the same end goal as me, i.e., win/win solutions for the end zone.       

 

I would hate to learn later about fancy hedges of mediocrity on Watsa's part in taking possession of all these shares. Certainly, this man needs multiples of today's share price to drive his book value and own corresponding share price since that, his market cap to be described as "A Buffett" in any shape or form today, is still a pimple on the ass of the WHITE ELEPHANTS Warren Buffett hunts, and that he is, in and of himself!   

[Guest ValueCarl]

You can probably be sure of two things relating to SEAM assuming they're characters of noteworthy quality in partnership with "The Big Dog" wagging other Telecom CLEC's tails:

 

1) They wouldn't violate the 30 day wash rule eliminating their ability to book FIFO shares at losses by selling (3) and purchasing GLBC, unless they sold for profit on a "versus" trade basis increasing their common stock cost basis during the process

 

2) They wouldn't violate the "ownership percentage" rules which would jeopardize any of LVLT's approx. $6B in NOL carry forwards acting as a future share price value enhancer according to the Federal Tax Rate   

[Guest ValueCarl]

Wow! I just finished watching an amazing Netflix flick in German with English text called, "Sophie Scholl: The Final Days." The quality stream was amazing, but what was more interesting for this board besides the fact that LVLT's service is best of breed, were the freedom of speech rights which it became afraid of as a harbinger of what happens when men choose to violate their own conscience if they allow well thought out ideas or conflicting opinions to flourish in lieu of preventing them for fear of repercussion by a more influential crowd, be they more powerful due to money or muscle.

 

 

Give our brothers and sisters around the world more Netflix, because the freedom to visit other cultures along with their history, will continue to act as "The Great Liberator" for freedom fighters everywhere!

And well, while none of that has helped those waiting for the service to come available in Europe—there may be a bit of good news on that front. Sadly though, that good news is still in rumor form, however it looks like Netflix will be expanding into Europe in the early months of 2012.

I abhor the issuance of shares when pondering the dilution this enterprise has forced its owners to sustain up until this time, without equity appreciation as a result of misusing their shelf and feeding their financiers' voracious appetites in the form of usury. Request at least 500M shares less which provides plenty of cushion for getting this deal done as well as fully diluted amounts plus some excess shares for the future.

Ben Graham, are you implying these "level 3" data centers in small alphas without a corporate suffix, is our Level 3 Communications?  ;D

 

Regarding the hustlers on Wall Street and the traders they embolden with media influence over the business newswires, they want to buy at Big Prem's price again near term, without having had anchored the Level 3 Enterprise in the port like he did at a usury rate previously, to be sure; when sub prime toxic credit bombs were being dropped in 08/09.

 

Of course, I had thought we paid India enough in war reparations after the Enron, Tyco, and Global Crossing "enterprise corruption" that was forced in their nation more than ten years ago now, but I guess our U.S. network remains an "international" chip during this bargaining process of bringing all earthly eyeballs together as ONE.  ;)   

 

Will Big Prem let them have his stock as cheap as he got it ($1.80 pps) excluding interest again?  This is a very mixed buy conviction call!

<However, the deal faces a number of hurdles due to competitive and also national security, law enforcement and public safety concerns.

 

We believe that while the stock may have temporarily run ahead of itself after rising 150% since the end of the year, there is additional upside in the long-term and we would look toward accumulating shares on any dip below the $2 range.>

That's right! And I'm sitting here in one of this nation's public library systems where the speed is non existent and the time in between a click crawls worse than in dial up days behind us, while the librarian tells me that, they're still on a copper DSL system, the equipment is very old, and the signals are being sent to long distance servers where the county's nerve center is making the experience more dismal!

 

Get that FIBER to our entire U.S. library system because this is a disgrace for a nation like The United States of America to be operating in The Stone Ages still! According to her, the county is underfunded for the necessary upgrades. This is more than likely because of being gouged for the past century by those useless dinosaurs in the MONOPOLY AGE called TREX and VZSAURUS!  >:(

With Level 3, RIU is also benefitting from an expanded geographic reach for the company's site and better website scalability, which allow the company to more quickly and efficiently reach customers. An important factor in RIU's decision to work with Level 3 was the expanding reach of RIU's e-commerce site to customers in Latin America, which they are now able to do with Level 3's services.

Shares of Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW - News) and Level 3 Communications (NASDAQ: LVLT - News) are each soaring 2% after research firm DA Davidson said data center and colocation stocks should be bought at current levels while pointing to Limelight Networks and Level 3 as two potential winners as more companies look to compete with Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX - News) in the market for online streaming entertainment content.

 

Investors haven't warmed up to the news quite yet as the Data Centers, Colocation and Content Distribution Network Stocks Index is off 0.8%. DA Davidson also highlighted Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM - News) as another potential winner as Netflix sees heightened competition for streaming services. Shares of Akamai are fractionally lower today.

 

While noting Netflix's international expansion plans could provide another catalyst for CDN stocks, DA Davidson says concerns surrounding the sector are overdone. Still, the Index has slid 6% in the past three months.

[Guest ValueCarl]

Ben Graham, are you attempting to call me out to your woodshed!  ;D

 

Let me explain something to you about my experience with Mr. Munger as an answer, while first stating that, I never follow anybody to "the yellow brick road" like that Mr. B guy commenting on Seeking Alpha. Simply put, I try to think for myself at every turn in the road. I am not saying I don't feel comfortable when smarter people than I am, arrive at similar conclusions, however.

 

Now to Mr. Munger, which in the case of this experience, I have referenced it before, and it is buried somewhere inside this cave where value investors expect to find safe havens! Unless it was deleted or censored like some of my work! 

 

Once I asked him directly to his face in advance of the 08/09 implosion, "Mr. Munger, is illegal naked short selling going to represent a catastrophe to the financial markets like some including Dr. Byrne have been articulating"?

 

Mr. Munger's stoic, matter of fact, law like answer was, "SHORT SELLING" is not a problem for the market. In this case, he changed the wording of the original question to avoid answering, but you get the point!  

 

So, it may be that his answer to me about "common stock" being in the "too hard to figure out" pile has nothing to do with "prior bond purchases" having been, and still being, "SLAM DUNKS!"  ;)

 

We have seen some proof in the not too distant past showing Gen Re has those LVLT bonds. Whether Charles T. owns them individually in his personal portfolio or through public vehicles like Berkshire wasn't a question asked, but should be considered a high probability event.  

 

   

[Guest ValueCarl]

See what I mean about smarter people than me, Ben Graham! God bless Susan Decker for embarking on such a huge plan of making big things smaller and smaller!  ;) At this time along with many preceding years, I am just a dumb (3) owner holding common stock that a Graham/Dodd investor, one of the best in the history of the game, says is too hard to figure out.

[Guest ValueCarl]

You seem like you're in a fun mood this morning, Ben Graham. Let's have some more fun!  ;D

Where is Steve Jobs going with all this cash?

 

Bloomberg cites anonymous sources as saying Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) “is in early talks that may lead to an offer for Hulu.” The Wall Street Journal seconded the notion that any talks are in the very early stages. Apple operates two retail locations in the Triangle.

The news comes after Apple’s huge third-quarter earnings report on Tuesday and Thursday’s news that the company is sitting on $76 billion in cash. The Bloombergreport postulates that Hulu would fetch about $2 billion.

Netflix Reportedly in Talks on Streaming With DreamWorks; Shares Gain 2.6%      07/25 07:43 AM

 

 

 

10:43 AM EDT, 07/25/2011 (MidnightTrader) -- Netflix (NFLX:$283.66,00$7.08,002.56%) is up 2.60% to $283.77, after Bloomberg reported the company is close to a deal for exclusive streaming rights for films from Dreamworks Animation SKG (DWA:$21.43,00$0.38,001.81%) .

Shares of Dreamworks are 1.90% higher, trading at $21.44.

In June 2008, Variety reported that DreamWorks was looking for financing that would allow it to continue operations as an independent production company once its deal with Paramount ended later in the year.[13] Most of the backing would come from an Indian investment firm called Reliance ADA Group. The DreamWorks trademarks are owned by DreamWorks Animation and the new company would need their approval to use the trademarks. In September 2008, it was reported by Variety that Dreamworks closed a deal with Reliance to create a stand-alone production company and end its ties to Paramount.[14]

On February 9, 2009, DreamWorks entered into a long-term, 30-picture distribution deal with the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures by which the films will be released through the Touchstone Pictures banner over the next five years. The deal came after negotiations broke off with Universal Pictures just days earlier.[15] However, this deal does not include Indian rights, which will be handled by Reliance,[16] nor does it include DreamWorks Animation, whose films will still be distributed by Paramount through to late 2012. Also not included are sequels to live-action films released before the Paramount merger, or those released by Paramount themselves – Paramount retains the rights to these franchises, and one such sequel, Little Fockers, was released by Paramount internationally in December 2010 (Universal owns domestic rights).

Hollywood studios sue Indian-American's Internet movie company

Boston, April 5, (PTI):

 

Six major Hollywood studios, including Warner Brothers and Sony Pictures, have sued Internet movie company Zediva and its Indian-American CEO Venkatesh Srinivasan for streaming movies online for as little as USD 1 without permission from them.

 

The lawsuit filed for copyright infringement in a Los Angeles court alleges that Zediva "illegally" streams movies to its customers in violation of the studios' right to "publicly perform" their works, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) announced on behalf of its members.

 

The studios' complaint alleges a single count of copyright infringement against California-based Zediva's parent company WTV Systems and IIT Mumbai alumnus Srinivasan.

Walmart brings Vudu to their website home page.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc is moving its Vudu video streaming and rental service to a place where it can get attract more eyeballs -- the Walmart.com web site -- as the growing service competes for attention with a variety of video services.

 

Adding Vudu to the main Wal-Mart site is the latest way the world's largest retailer is trying to be the go-to destination for shoppers, both in stores and, increasingly, online.

 

Vudu, which Wal-Mart bought last year, streams films and shows to computers, certain televisions, Blu-ray DVD players and Sony Corp's Playstation 3.

 

Wal-Mart declined to say how many people use its service, which does not offer monthly subscriptions like competitors such as Netflix Inc, although it did say Vudu continues to grow rapidly.

 

"Our user base has tripled since Christmas," said Edward Lichty, Vudu's general manager, who added that Walmart shoppers are a growing part of Vudu's business.

Well, now that we got that wholesale voice mess over with, it's good to see (3) working with Global Crossing and applauding their quarterly results inclusive of a special acknowledgement by Crowe for Legere in allowing (3) to help their "growth rates" along today. With 21 of 23 state PUC's approving the merger, and many foreign province regulatory bodies as well, along with the FCC nearing its decision, (3)/Global Crossing continues to address the needs of the DOJ, and that criminal operator Icahn stirring the pot, a man who basically stole our fiber including its use with his court system influence.  ;)

Goldman Sachs seems to be looking for its exit strategy in a cdn investment it maintains called Limelight. As a side note, with all Goldman analysts missing from LVLT's conference call last week, Jim Crowe was saying that, if you're not a cdn, then you're not a "network."

 

Dan Rayburn has some interesting data points regarding the rumors behind who takes Limelight out here:

Let us hope and pray that Mr. Jobs does the right thing with "The Network Partner You Can Rely On" for his legacy.

Mishaps such as these cannot be continuous, lest a business will certainly be denigrated to something less desirable in the minds of its important "consumers."

Well, I am glad I was not the only one opposed to such a large increase in "authorized shares" attached to the "charter amendment," but the deal is now shareholder approved awaiting final regulatory approvals on all fronts.

 

 

BROOMFIELD, Colo. and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Aug. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ:  LVLT) and Global Crossing Limited (NASDAQ: GLBC) today announced that, at separate special meetings, stockholders of both companies voted to approve Level 3's proposed acquisition of Global Crossing. At the Global Crossing shareholders' meeting, 99.8 percent of the Global Crossing shares voting at the meeting were voted in favor of the adoption of the agreement between Global Crossing and Level 3. At the Level 3 stockholders' meeting, 99.6 percent of the Level 3 shares voting at the meeting were voted in favor of the issuance of shares of Level 3 common stock to Global Crossing shareholders, and 85.2 percent of the Level 3 shares outstanding were voted in favor of the proposal to approve the adoption of the Level 3 charter amendment.

"We are very pleased that stockholders of both companies have given their support to this transaction," said James Q. Crowe, CEO of Level 3. "We believe that the combination of our two companies will create immediate and long-term value for our stockholders and customers. We continue to work to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals needed to close the transaction and begin the process of integrating the companies to realize the synergies and opportunities expected from the transaction."

The companies continue to expect the transaction to close before the end of 2011.

Yes, I bought some today adding to my stake in this century's most important communications company. Charles T. Munger told me I would need to go it alone, and I am doing just that!

 

At the same time, I see Goldman's exit strategy turned out to be a PUMP before the huge DUMP that Limelight is having carry on in after market at $2.40 pps.

I have yet to figure out why Sony hasn't switched cdn's over to (3) while they are a customer for other communication service revenue, but I am sure something interesting is going to come down pike soon regarding this MESS that Goldman's Limelight was responsible for.

 

I am still thinking (3) might usurp a Goldman controlled entity for a take under price now. With their forward annual revenue tallying some $200MM, a paltry amount for (3) to swallow, maybe the take under will be to just storm in and take their accounts out of their hands! Goldman and their ilk will deserve everything they don't get!  >:(

Aug 8 (Reuters) - Content delivery network provider Limelight Networks Inc posted a wider-than-expected quarterly loss, hurt by lower revenue from its CDN and digital media units, and forecast third-quarter revenue below analysts' expectations, sending its shares down 23 percent in extended trade.

 

Revenue from the CDN business fell due to a security breach at one of its customers that led to less content streaming and less software download for that platform, Chief Executive Jeffrey Lunsford said on a conference call with analysts.

 

In April, Sony Corp suffered a massive breach in its video game online network that led to the theft of data belonging to 77 million user accounts.

 

"The traffic to that customer's platform has returned to normal levels since that event subsided," Lunsford said.

Placing America First in The Race for Faster Speeds and More Data Over The Internet

 

Level 3 Communications

 

Carl K*** to Julius.Genacho.

show details 8:25 AM (4 hours ago)

Dear Mr. Genachowski,

 

Let me first begin by applauding your agency for their partial support, at least by their comments, for the DOJ's recent block of the AT&T/T Mobile merger.

 

As a former T shareholder, and a current T Mobile customer, I can assure you that feeding a dinosaur with high protein foods from innovative companies in the telecom jungle around them, will not result in anything different than what we have experienced during the past thirty years of telecom deregulation while putting Humpty Dumpty back together again has only resulted in more false promises, and latent communications experiences which continue handicapping Americans in the race for ubiquitous internet where our eyes and ideas transcend seamlessly around the globe. 

 

I know you know the score, Mr. G., and I know you know what is at stake for getting us there. It won't be painless for the old guards who continue to wield their power, influence and control in the "last miles" of America, be they telecom or cable companies, but forcing them to compete with innovative companies on a fair playing ground, like Level 3 Communications (LVLT), a company whose Smithsonian Awarded advanced broadband network have enabled companies like Google to exist, or they wouldn't have otherwise, will clearly inure to the benefit of all U.S. and global citizens in the end.

 

I am not going to go through the painful experience of listing the pros and cons of approving the Level 3/Global Crossing Amalgamation on your desk at this time, because you know them all too well.

 

I'll leave you with this, in the spirit of a great former American President and leader who seemed to care about placing his country first  around the globe by establishing "fair competition."

 

Tear down those monopoly walls in the last mile, Mr. Genachowski, and move to fast track approval the Level 3/Global Crossing merger.

 

Best regards,

 

Carl K***, LVLT shareholder, concerned U.S. Citizen, and Internet Activist who believes the internet is The Great Liberator if Innovators are Allowed to Run, and Monopolies and/or Duopolies are stopped in their tracks while being forced to compete.     

 

 

P.S. Two days ago, I left a message with a Ms. XXXX at your ECFS contact number. Not only did she answer the phone informally with a "hello," she was not very friendly nor service oriented to her citizen customer. She must have forgotten who is paying her salary. Anyway, she assured me a call back response which I am still waiting for in order to figure out how to navigate that site more efficiently.
