Siren 0 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 What's the latest (been away for a few days)? Is it time to short the Livedoor shares yet? Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Seen this http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/waiwai/face/index.html They'll be doing all they can to "bring him down", as they do. (Good word, they.) Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 And it looks like he got screwed today. Fuji obtains shares . But the court decision should come through this week but don't like his chances. Link to post Share on other sites
Siren 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 This is just getting interesting. According to FT yesterday, the “death spiral convertibles” issued to fund the purchase of NBS shares are having effect and Livedoor shares are down 31% since it started buying NBS on 8 February. Now that is creating shareholder value! Link to post Share on other sites

Siren 0 Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 As in a medical doctor? Probably not that many doctors that understand how PIPE (private investment public equity) works. Link to post Share on other sites
Siren 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Lehman's holding has risen to 33% because of the fall of Livedoor share price. (http://it.nikkei.co.jp/it/newssp/fuji_vs_livedoor.cfm ) Creation of shareholders' value (by the destruction of existing shareholders' value)? http://money.cnn.com/services/tickerheadlines/for5/200503090246DOWJONESDJONLINE000437_FORTUNE5.htm You can put two and two together.

HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Whats the news now? Did Livedoor win this battle? Don't understand the nihonho and can't find it in eigo yet. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 From what I understood (or thought I did) is he won the injuction against Nippon Broadcasting but they are going to contest the decision. Stay tuned for more fun adventures of Fuji TV vs Livedoor. I don't think we will see a result for a while yet. Link to post Share on other sites

sakebomb 0 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Here is another article about the geniuses at Nippon Broadcasting trying to avoid the Livedoor takeover. This is just ridiculous, where are the shareholders, maybe they should start exercising their rights. http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/news/20050314p2a00m0dm008000c.html Link to post Share on other sites

yamayamayama 2 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Funny the older people where I work are well against the Livedoor guy. "His style does not fit with Japan". Very predictably I suppose. Too right dudes. Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 That guy ain't short of confidence. What did he say... "if... I'll become an rival of Horie. And I'm really tough, baby, so he'll lose" or something along those lines. I really wish I understood more Japanese... Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 green: The babe always with him is his advertising/marketing adviser. She's been doing the rounds on a few tv shows the last few days (she'll be on one very soon actually). 29, sounds pretty smart and looks tasty!!! She was on the banshoka or whaterer it's called program yesterday evening and was actually very frank and open about her boss. She sad sometimes she wished he'd shut up and think more before he spoke (!) and gave him 80% as the boss. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 BTW, that new Softbank guy calling Horie "Horie-kun" - is that kind of looking down or not respectful, or normal for the situation? Link to post Share on other sites
