Rentrak Corporation Message Board

Thanks for posts just about RENT. Maybe this is a
new beginning for this thread and we can go into next
week free of insults, bashing, and
hyping.

Frisco, I've got no problem with you thinking RENT is a
bad investment -- even though I own it there is no
way I'd encourage anyone to buy it right now. Just
too many things bother me about it. Namely, the major
studios seem to want to blow RENT off, I think this "RENT
as policeman" idea is farfetched, and management
does not inspire confidence in me (or Wall Street for
that matter). But, why not stop bashing David? Yes, he
has hyped and it is good to point out a hypster. But,
you've done it now. So, as long as he doesn't hype in
the future perhaps you could refrain from bashing
him. Thanks.

I talked with BB IR a few months ago. They said
that they expected only about 3-5% of BB revenue to go
through RENT. This is still a very good number. Also,
most people agree that RENT has the best computer
program around. If all of these chains are getting caught
cheating how do you think the studios feel about working
with them? Would you do business with a chain that was
caught cheating when you computer program is not nearly
as good as RENTs? The studios would rather have a
company that does nothing but PPT. Plus Rent can play the
bad cop when needed. Lastly, if mngt tries to take
RENT private on the cheap do you really think people
like VIACOM or TIME WARNER will let them have it for a
song?

I do have 2 names Frisco and Spoonster the rest
of then are other people who DZCP has upset.I
peronally know one of them.We purched some stock of Hcore
thanks to Mr.Hypster and was burned.Just informing
everyone about hyping tactics.Sorry if you think this
loser stock is going anywhere.O ya did you buy some
CMP,great stock.Also glad your concerned about BUSTING
people,it is great you do so it really does alot LOSER.See
you used somelses name to hide behind.Go ask your
mommie or wife if that is ok wussie.

I hope it goes up too. The way I see it, the big
problem is that the marketplace changed right from under
RENT's feet. The major studios and BB/HLYW want to work
directly with each other, so although we'll get some
pocket change from BB I doubt it will be the windfall
that it was thought to be in the
beginning.

But, I haven't sold RENT, so obviously I still think
there is hope. Like you I think RENT could become more
accomodating to the independents/mom & pops/supermarkets. I
think that is just what they are doing and are
signaling that by announcing these deals in Quebec and
England. RENT could also get some business from smaller
studios that don't want to work directly with BB/HLYW,
but my own opinion is that eventually they will all
rather work directly than go through RENT.

I
wouldn't buy any now, but I'm holding because there is
still hope.

BTW David, MOL = Madly Out Loud. I
don't like to laugh my ass off, it comes in handy when
I sit down in front of the computer.

Bertie,

I agree with you.

Managment
could support and help reverse the slide in its stock
by clarifying their earnings expectations right now,
particularly the BB revenues, and at the same time clarifying
where they stand on the stock buy-back
plan.

Their silence on these points will do nothing but
damage.

I've got RENT. Not a whole lot so the loss I'm
carrying right now is no big deal, but I'd still like to
see management get the stock moving. I think we need
a clarification from RENT that BB will give us more
than token business.

If that doesn't happen I
don't think that's the end for RENT. RENT could learn
how to work with the independents (studios and video
stores) and still make some good money. If the stock goes
to $2, as some have suggested it will, I'd seriously
think of buying more. Some times averaging down isn't a
bad idea.

Please everyone lets get back to RENT.
GGCON/Quasar stop bashing David, just post thoughts on RENT.
David stop insulting people, just post thoughts on
RENT. I think a couple of guys just took a childish
game a litle too far today, so lets just stop it and
get back to RENT.

At least we had a little
move up today!!
Everyone relax and have a great
weekend.

Hey bizzarro

We all have to read lame-ass
postings unfortunately, since you rotate names 15 times
since Sept. 1.

And what makes you think you're
dealing with David? We are all sick of your lameness.
Just go away....

Don't know why you think I like to "hack" on
David. If you read my first two posts, you'll see that I
was expressing my frustration with RENT mgmt. David,
on the other hand, began the name-calling (as he so
often does).

As for the use of 15 other ID's,
please, David, try to control your paranoia. I'm not the
only person here you have insulted for no reason; and,
you must admit, you did take the hyping a bit too
far.

I mean what I wrote, which is apparently more
than David is capable of. Thanks for choosing your ID,
please keep using it. It serves as an example that
people who lack intelligence also often lack
creativity.

Keep the laughs coming, LOSER!
