“Eventually the market will figure it out…”
Um, when John? You’ve been making this claim for a decade. Maybe it’s not the market. Maybe it’s you. Retire. Please. For the love of God.

Stankey better tread lightly, Elon's got a warchest
AT&T could have a warchest but Stankey squandered that, shareholder wealth, and many good employees. Elon's army would probably bid up their stock against AT&T simply out of spite against Stankey.
I am laying off AT&T
Bye T.
We need to remember that ELON does not think like any typical Telco CEO. I'm sure he will disrupt Telco biz based on his track record.
