As long as EchoStar stock is above $5 a share, it ain't going bankrupt anytime soon. Right now it sells for about $14 a share. Relax folks.
This Wall Street expert says it's worth $38...
Mr. MBA,
But EchoStar/Dish isn't without options. New Street Research believes EchoStar could raise about $3.2 billion of spectrum-backed notes from its DBSD and Terrestar holdings, and raise an additional $4.3 billion against AWS-3 licenses.
"Taken together, this should provide enough...
We're being too pessimistic about EchoStar/Dish going bankrupt. Their stock is at $13.12 today. If it were going bankrupt the stock would now be near zero. Charlie still has some tricks up his sleeve.

The largest ransomware payment — where an organization pays to have their software freed from a malware attack — was by CNA Financial. The Chicago-based firm paid $40 million to a Russia-based hacker group.
Probably paid with Bitcoin, not with a money order.
The whole business model is obsolete. Paying for 250 channels (with commercials) that you never watch so you can watch the 15-20 that you like. Paying for premium channels on top of that.
Seven percent of all Dish/DirecTV/Comcast subscribers will cut the cord in 2023, up from six percent this year, according to estimates.
