yezzz...i've been trying to pop the hint here on SI for a few years on DISH...seems as though I'm right about their prospects looking back.... but nobody seems to think much of them here. Given continued Sub growth....who' know's where it will go... So dudes, fire your DISH questions...I'll see what kind of answers I can come up with and how it holds up to the "G-test."

I've been in and out of DISH for a couple of years, and it is a great investment, but I don't see it as a gorilla candidate for several reasons: limits on their capacity (only so many orbital slots, bandwidth), limits on their customer base (line of sight, geographical location), limits on their BTEs (yes, it's expensive to get in this game, but proprietary standards are not part of it). That having been said, I like the stock's performance, and see a lot of upside. Glad to have been in it.
