"...PCLN sure can use the $$ right now, right?"

Actually, they don't. If you take a look at their most recent 10-Q, you will see that they had approximately $150 in cash and short term investments at the end of the quarter. They only used $5.5 million for operations during the quarter and overall their cash balance was reduced by about $7.3 million for the quarter. Not bad.

Regardless, none of the Liberty Media and Paul Allen money is going into the company. The shares are being purchased directly from the CEO.

I agree with you that Paul Allen is on a losing streak. However, these things change. I don't own this stock but the article sure caught my attention.

Here's a little reality re the track record of "savvy investor" Paul Allen.

Just scroll down to see the list of losers this guy has "invested" in, including PCLN which is in the red for him too.

Subject 29233

Of course, is there anyone, other than insiders, still holding PCLN stock who is not in the red?
