Whoah there, I think you need to recalculate and keep track of the zeros this time. :) ---------------------- Going into today they had roughly $13.25 BILLION in debt supported by a $5 BILLION market cap and only 6.3 MILLION subscribers (on 10.1 million homes passed). Now they have around $15 BILLION in debt. By my calculations that comes out to $238 MILLION in debt PER EXISTING SUBSCRIBER.

Question: Does anyone know where on the Net one can find data on the historic reserve ratio for our banking system? I have never seen anything on this, even though it seems like an important number. We are currently around 1.2%, but I have nothing to put that in perspective other than the "textbook" number of 10%.

Ken: My kind of balance sheet. Thanks for pointing this one out. It goes up on my early warning radar. So many targets, so little time. Sigh. (g) Best, Earlie

Ken, Take a look at the underlying fundamentals of Charter. As a Charter customer, I'll offer up my opinion. ;-)) I have cable Internet access for $40 a month. They were so busy trying to subscibe people they gave away installation for free. This shouldn't be taken lightly either, it took 6 hours and two people to get the crap working. Then my first modem blew up and they replaced it for free. I'm running a home network through a hub/switch. My roommate must download about 1 hour of music from Napster every day and I'm on constantly. To pay for my two modems and installation probably takes 2 years, not even taking into account bandwidth usage. Breakeven for me must be what, 2010? -ggg-
