How low will the stock go?

In the long run it would be better, eliminate all debt now. Start fresh, WM merger would also be better for Discovery. I think it's inevitable, so why not now?

WoW! T shares at $23 and change, how much lower will it go? Stankey knows more about the stock market than anyone else. For anyone holding T shares, it's enough to make you sick! What is the plan to raise the share price to $75.00?
