    how many people here have cut the cable cord?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Have been free from the wrath of cable since Sept. 2014.  I also have cut my landline as well.  Save our family $120 per month.  I only have an HDTV antenna, SlingTV, and Netflix these days.

     

    I think SlingTV offers tremendous value to someone like me who only cares for a handful of channels.  I highly recommend SlingTV to everyone. 

     

    Other than the Tennis Channel, I don't miss anything from my cable provider.

    Hasn't Winters been a thorn in his side vis-a-vis KO? This helps to make Winters seem less credible without directly refuting anything Winters has said.

     

    I have no dog in this fight, so I don't really care, I just thought it was an odd attack.

     

    Have  you heard the phrase, "We eat our own cooking"?  The point that Buffett made is that unless David Winters can earn his keeps with his own performance to earn his fees, he should not be go picking a fight with the KO board and drag Buffett in.  I was in the room in the audience when David made his plea with Buffett, and Buffett had said to David and everyone that he had told the BOD of KO of his thoughts on the compensation and that was that. 

     

    I have met David at a few times in Omaha and at Wesco; I think he is a very mild manner, good guy.  I just think his activism with KO took to another level that turned the switch on Buffett.

    Classless move.  What Winters charges in fees is known up front and voluntarily entered into.

     

    For all of these years that I have followed Buffett, Buffett chooses his words VERY, VERY CARFULLY.  He would never take shots like he did unless the facts are there to back him up.  Read btw the lines of what Buffett said.  Do you think Buffett didn't do his homework on David Winters' performance before he spoke up?
