Balance sheet is horrible, huge debt, undercapitalized, no earnings, and yet still paying a dividend...

This company is destined for failure, in fact, it's doing a great job of it right now! They outsourced their entire customer services to India, to supposedly 'cut costs' but have lost almost their entire market share to sky ever since, and continue to do so every day.
One of the main reasons: V+ HD Box costs £99, the more popular, higher quality, easier to use Sky+ Box offered by fierce rivals Sky, retails at half the price!
They are crippled by an enormous amount of debt, their financial management is suicidal, their products and services lag way behind the industry leaders in all aspects, and as a result they continue to struggle to turn a profit. I very much doubt they can ever make a profit, hopeless....

Bleeding Cash, Falling Revenues, No Profit in 3 years, Depreciation is double CapEx, GoodWill is rising, High Debt ratios.. Can't find much good news with this company. Branson can do almost anything but I'm afraid he can't keep this stock price from falling.

"Virgin lives the "don't be evil" philosophy.

While they live the "get massively in debt but pretend it's ok because we're especially righteous philosophy", I'll live the Incompetent Moralf Leadership = Fail philosophy.

Horribly red sheets on this one.
Current ratio is a stellar .6, it has 6 billion british pounds in debt (10 billion USD). If nothing else it should underperform, and I believe there's at least a small chance it'll croak.

VMEDs most recent "good" news is that his has cut its losses for the last quarter. Yet is has consistantly underperformed, while its chief rival, BSY, has only taken a slight cut in its profits. With no new technologies, releases or other profit boosters on the horizon, the best it can hope for is to slowly curb its losses by gaining more subscribers. I expect VMED to continue to slip for at least a few more months

I could write a book about how much I like virgin mobile, but I'll leave it simple. I like this company's style and vision a lot. I don't know anything about their cable and content areas, but I imagine they are run under the same philosophy. Well priced, flexible, helpful, friendly, and not corporately uptight. Also, they are visually growing pretty fast in the US for a company across seas.

Focus on the cash flow. Also, high probability that it will get bought out.
