I guess a ton of wheeler-dealers sold all at once, because they did not get the big bounce on a spin-off. Unless the considerably large and robust city of Cincinnati washes down the Ohio River, I can't see how you lose money on CBB at this price. Buy.

unlocking value through spinoff

Closed and re-opened to more accurately reflect my actual start price for a longer term hold.

Actually in at $3.03.

This will require patience and "nibbling" because it will take time for them to build out their system.

Have a very small position at this time, but will watch for opportunities to add over time.

Anything can happen in the intermediate term, but this was an "overshoot" to the downside after their spin off, and I just could not resist sticking my toe into the water.

Not a "quick profit" stock by any means, but they are not going out of business (at least there is no reason for them to do so), but since anything can happen, do your own DD.

Has the potential to be a multi-bagger in the long run.

JMO and worth exactly what I am charging for it.

CBB just spun off CyrusOne, a big data storage REIT, and retains 70+% of ownership so look for growth and increased cash flow as a benefit of the break up. Also, last week CBB named Ted Torbeck CEO--Torbeck is known for his CEO turnaround expertise and expects to grow the wireless end of the business. Hedge funds including Black Rock and Gambelli say the stock looks promising and are two of the largest stakeholders. I am cautiously optimistic.

Cncinnati Bell will soon unlock the true value of its Cyrus One data center subsidiary through an IPO. Once the market realizes how much this division is worth, CBB's shares should continue to rise. I should have bought this one a looooooooooooong time ago. I've been all over it since the initial announcement. Oh well. That's why I play this game...to learn. I still think that the company has room to run.

I expect this company should have folded 3 years ago. How does it even float. Bankrupt

TV business (Fioptics) will turn this company around.

Makes dependable money from its landline exclusivity, that business is fading but still produces earnings. Wireless business is well regarded and possibly makes the whole company a buyout candidate for any existing telecom, Verizon, Qwest, or possibly even AT&T if they can get past that whole antitrust thing... Could also split with someone like Verizon picking up the mobile business and Windstream buying out their fixed line service.

With the competition offering computer hookup, and cell phone competition, Cincinnati Bell is starting to come with them. However, I think they still a way to go.

A nice, cheap little regional bell, currently on sale.

This is one of the weakest players in the telecommunications industry. They were an alright company, when the telecom industry was slow moving and highly regulated. They have not adapted well to the deregulation many years ago and have been on a downward trend ever since. The fact that they are small does not give them a better chance for growth. In this market the growth is heading to the big players like VZ and T. If CBB had some sort of edge like Boost mobile, they maybe would have a chance, but are showing nothing standout. They do have an asset in having a local name, but that is only worth so much. The company is too small and not expected to grow fast enough in the future. This company could be a takeover candidate, but it needs to come down more from here for that to happen.
