“I thought Dish was privately held by Charlie Ergen.”
It’s a publicly traded company, although Charlie and his wife own huge blocks of the stock and virtually all of the voting shares.
I’ve known Charlie for many years and bought just 500 shares when he went public only because Charlie was running the show and I knew he was the world’s biggest cheapskate — it’s been one terrific investment and looks to be even better right now.
I really am happy that you made $$$$! IMHO... and take it for that... I think ergen is a snake, liar and the truth is not in him. He has stabbed many people in the back over the years. Minus the political stuff, he is a lot like george soros. If ergen sells, Dish will gain many home satellite viewers that remember ergen from the late 70’s forward.
