The average market cap of terrestrial radio companies has declined by a
staggering 80% over the last five years. But the bottom isn't even in
yet,
as far as Cramer can tell
Either way, the bottom line remains the same. Cramer expects the
terrestrial
radio companies to go down harder than almost anything else and he would
not
own any of them under any condition right now.

That's what the stock market seems to be intimating: Some of the
notable chains are going for under $5 a share.


Share price does not indicate value. A share of one company that goes for
$80 is no better a buy than one that sells for $5 if the earnings per share
and other fundamentals are in proportion to the stock price. Many companies
do stock splits when shares go up in price, in fact.- Hide quoted text -

I agree with your point.

Here is problem/opportunity (imho)

Some fiduciary "conservative" funds are not allowed by charter to buy
anything under $5, and "reverse splits" in "cheap" penny stocks
sometimes happen for this reason.

NYSE, New York Stock Exchange, under $2 stocks aren't publicized/
listed in daily highlight/lowlight reports of many newspapers.

Of course they are all over the internet

NASDAQ exchange is seemingly somewhat similar

Caveat penny stocks players, because there seems to be somewhat more
manipulating, cheating, scalping, pumping-dumping, chicanery-trickery
with "cheapos" than with the "high priced"

I see Citadel, Radio One, the Spanish radio chain, Westwood etal are
under $5.

You, say in the sales departments of stations that are nevertheless
seemingly doing nicely, are encouraged to post your experieces and
perceptions.

Is now the time to load-up, and/or is your industry dying, as the
movie industry was thought to be in the 1950s because of television

These are blunt, flawed ideas and I apologize to any offended: your
corrections & opposing ideas are encouraged
