Last week I saw him on TV talking about how big the DTH market could become. This isn't music to anyone tracking this stock.

This one is full of promise but empty on performance.

I think that is an obligation on the part of the senior management to talk good about the company as long as he is associated with it. Same was the case with Bear Stearns's James Cayne upbeat about the company till the last moment.

Absolutely. I learn again! I watched that interview with the help of an alarm in my mobile; refused to go to a social function and this is what I learnt!!!

Nitin Jee, I am completely in sync with your view ! Since INVESTING IN MARKET is more of an ARTS than a SCIENCE closely associated with Human behaviour, so nothing is for certain here. So I am hoilding onto my Dish TV position inspite of a huge fall.

they quickly have to get their act together or they will lose out despite such a huge oppurtunity. Changing CEOs quickly never helps. I think Subash Chandra and Jawahar Goel are de facto CEOs. The guys who run operations are basically COOs at best but never the less it is not a good sign CEOs changing this rapidly. It shows things are not as they should be.
