Stock info

Can I ask the weirdest question ever?

What is the stock names for the henson company and EM.TV and these new companies in question?

I am just trying to figure out the stock market and I figured they would be some I shall watch. . .

I still think we need to have a Muppet Central bake sale and just buy them ourselves....

All of this makes me sad....

The other Jamie *without neat graphics*

Heh, reminds me of this off-off-off-off-off Braodway avant avant garde muscial I have in mind involving puppets, cactus, time portals, and upscale retail fashion pirates int he 17th century

He won't be buying them - as far as i know an official offer wasn't made - he's just a publicity seeker !

Besides, to make an offer you would have needed to negotiate 'in' on the sale process and only a few companies were chosen to ever sign agreements for that.

On a similar note, i met with the guys at Entertainment Rights PLC at the Toy Fair last week and they really impressed me - shame the Muppets don't seem to be on their radar !

i had no idea you knew how buying and selling something worked....maybe you should work in the stock market or something! that could be your calling...

I'd probably enjoy that, i mean i'd probably bring a few banks down learning all the stuff but once i got the hang of it things could be magic !

I mean When People say Muppet they think you like something babyish.Well I think something they should aim to do is reach older audiances as well as kids.I dont exactly know what this sell would mean though for the company.
