New Rumor re: Release Date: Even *Further* Delays?

Well, looking at this from the standpoint of someone who has enough shares of PPC stock to make it a FINANCIAL concern of mine...

Not all us stockholders agree.



There is no such thing as Paramount Pictures Stock. As a teeny, tiny subsidiary of Viacom, any one Paramount movie would have to gross at least 7.5 billion worldwide to have any impact on Viacom's share price.

We need better liars on these boards.
Be VERY VERY CAREFUL about making that sort of statement. Because several folks on here can say conclusively that you're mistaken.

It's not uncommon, at all, for there to be independent stock for different subsidiary companies. In fact, it's the rule, rather than the exception.

When mergers, acquisitions, etc, take place, the existing stock isn't "replaced" (though it's often revaluated). If Viacom sells off PPC next year, I'll still own my stock... if Time Warner, or Google, or whoever else, bought it... I'd still own Paramount stock. In this case, it just happens that Viacom owns the majority of the stock, which (in turn) is owned by Viacom stockholders.

Some of the folks here may well own Viacom stock. I have certificates that make no mention of Viacom, though.

Again, be VERY VERY CAREFUL about calling people LIARS... especially when you're talking out of your own ass.

I got my money back.

I did too.

You guys had me going for a minute there. For one brief moment I thought "You know, it's been a long time since I used my PayPal account. It might just be there." So I went through my entire transaction history since 2001. (I don't use it that often.) On March 4, 2005 I gave TrekUnited (as AACC) $10. I only gave $10 because I figured it was a scam and I wouldn't see that $10 again.

Anyway, through the rest of my account history up until today, no transactions from AACC, or TrekUnited. No transactions under $10 in fact. Until my $10 is back, minus paypal fees of course, I'll think of TrekUnited as a scam.

edit: Rather than drag this thread off-topic I started another one for the purpose of discussing TrekUnited refunds that did or didn't happen.

Except that there was no real scam...

Ok, so where's my $10 that was promised to be returned to me if we didn't get a season 5?

I got my money back.

I did too.

I got mine back too, pretty quick. They asked if I wanted it back or to be put to some other use, I said I wanted it back...viola, in 1 day it was back in my PayPal account.
 
<===Never got it back.

Never even got a letter asking if I wanted it back.

Not a small sum either.

************************************************

And I hope the movie isn't delayed any farther.
