<description><![CDATA[Ok, now the next item of business is learning how the basis of our old Discovery shares is to be split amongst the Ascent, Discovery A and C shares.   Anyone have news on that?
I've checked the company website under Investor Relations and, of course, no word.
Thanks for any advice.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[DISC shares showed up today in my account - within the 3 day window.   No Ascent shares though - maybe I misread the PR release - that would account for the missing prospectus.   On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me if this thing drags on for a few more days - it's in line with their general treatment of shareholders.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thank you for your clarification. Do you know when we will receive the new shares? Judging the recent price of Class A, B, and C, the price should be 1/2 as September 18.

Remember, each old DISCA will split into 1/2 new class A, C and 0.05 Acent Media.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[More like intimidating (the annual reports and prospectii are telephone book-like)rather than confusing.

From all the announcements, if I remember correctly:   For every A or B share you get an equivalent 1/2 share of the new A or B, and the remaining half in C shares.   It also looks as if we get .05 an Ascent share per old share as well.

This isn't a company I'd recommend for the average retail investor.   Malone, to put it mildly, is the type who likes to 'financial engineer' his companies.   It's a pain if you've got a small position.

If you feel like you've been 'snookered' in the latest transaction - this might not be the stock for you.   The dual class structure has been with us since the inception - and anyone following the other Liberty companies could tell you that it was probable that C shares would eventually come to pass if the market refused to acknowledge the value of the company as per managements analysis.   Not putting anyone down - just friendly advice.

Furthermore, management is barely there, shareholder-wise.   I think there's 100% overlap with Liberty - they don't even have a separate office - and (up to this point) it's been the sideshow to Liberty's main event.   So, you get things like 'them mailing the annual report days before the annual meeting' so that you don't get a chance to vote.   And, most recently, still not receiving the Ascent prospectus - sheesh.

There are easier ways to make a profit...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A website, gainskeeper I think it is, available through Intuit's investor tax program provides Malone's spinoffs, etc. in a convenient way.   

Does this spinoff have better potential than the other Malone fragments: LBTYK, LINTA, or LCAPA?]]></description>
