Thread: Big-Foot YRC Drops the Other Shoe on Shareholders
Started 1 month ago by Dockworker
I'm not here to spread doom and gloom, I'm just here to post the information that is spreading around the internet. An Analysis by: John Schulz of GLG Quote:
Embattled trucking giant YRC Worldwide is asking its shareholders to give up 95 percent ownership in the trucking company to lenders in what it calls a "final step" in its recovery plan.
Big-Foot ...
From the one link...."One analyst called the deal a "train wreck hitting the school bus full of kids and nuns" for shareholders"....
Well at least that analcyst, er, analyst has an understanding of hyperbole.
I'm just glad there was no puppies or baby seals on that bus!!
My take on this is..ok, yrc will have financial flexablity..good, yrc will be able to pay down their debt..good, but how will this help them become profitable....they cant make money..the best analogy i can think of is u inherit money to pay ur credit cards and bills, but lose ur job and have no income for a future

The competition is well on their way to choking themselves to death. In reality it's a race to the bottom...

Con-way third-quarter profit slides - MarketWatch I do see the connection. And again, Joe, you're mixing up my scoffs. I scoffed when you said YRCW was "playing broke" - you know, when you tried to make it look like they really have a...

How long can they haul freight at a loss with their predatory pricing. You scoffed again when I said YRC is letting them keep on trucking with that freight. Ok. It looks like we are gonna find out who can haul freight the longest for free. Yrc, even with their debt and...
