Phill you posted the wrong ticker AMCN when AMCM is the correct ticker. As for <garbage stock> Why would well know companies be choosing AM's products? I think NOT AMCM is showing revenue growth and profits. Profits & Revenue Growth is the key here. Does CHTR have a profit? No! Do I call it garbage stock NO! If you don't see opportunity then that is ok but others may see opportunity. Hey its not like this CHTR gets much postings here anyway. If anything it may attract some to Charter also.
