Who Mueller?

That’s a door I am not willing to open outside the pit.

While I can't say much... DISH is installing cell sites... and are actively seeking locations for more sites.. including asking retailers...

Charlie is NOT sleeping.

I found this interesting as well.

That is enough insider money at risk to make one think things are looking good for Dish.

Yeah, Jim DeFranco started gobbling up DISH stock beginning Feb. of last year. He's bought 295,000 shares in 39 transactions. All were 5 and 10k purchases until Dec. 24th. Since then he's made 25, 25, 20, and 5k share purchases.

Has Dish stock dropped below $25. That is when I want to buy. It’s going to go back up in a big way and I want in on it but only if it is worth it.

As you probably know Jim has been Charlie and Cantey's original partner since back in the 80's so if he's buying he must know something good is coming.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Sounds like he has a Mueller approach and is just keeping details quiet for a reason. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was 6-8 months ahead of us.

You mentioned him first .

Or he’s just buying the stock while it is so cheap in hopes it goes back up.

If he's buying he must be pretty darn sure it's going to go up. He's almost as cheap as Charlie.

 

[ChadT41]

I don’t see the mega rich getting that way in hopes. Only time that works is with the Lotto.

I have sat down with Jim many times... the guy is a smart man, but shrewd with his money. If hes buying he expects to make a profit.

Shrewd, that's the perfect description.

Knowing Charlie, he's more like 2-3 years ahead of the group here!

I can agree to that.

 

[MikeD-C05]

I hope that’s true because he has put all his money ,so to speak,on the line and if he misses the deadline he’s toast.

 

[Stargazer]

He has kept a secret perhaps and don’t want the competition to find out. How many of these and at what distance from each other would these downlinks/uplinks have to be in order for it to be at FCC requirement? It was mentioned that it was going to be IOT related so is he basically going to offer internet connectivity to small devices that does not require much bandwidth for each device?

This is last year's news but sums up where things are going.

The satellites are the golden goose paying the bills and apparently there is enough cash to pay for the spectrum buildout.

Jim has made 3 more purchases totaling 35k shares since the above post. Hmmmmm?
