Looks like Hef is buying more Playboy...
 

Yeah, he inherently knows a lot more than what investors are seeing right now.

As it turns out, Hef purchased $3.5 million worth of Playboy stock earlier this month, between $14.40 and $15.36 a share.

Maybe the recent acquisition has something to do with it, who knows, but it's all about the earnings....always about future earnings.

I loved hef on curb.

Model's wages are referred to as "editorial costs". Gotta love finance lingo. :)

but weak advertising led to a loss in its publishing operation, and its stock fell more than 13 percent.

This on Nov 3rd, around the time Hef went in.

Playboy runs everything but a tight ship, only posting a $3M quarterly profit due to major cost-cutting and sharp declines in taxes and interest payments.

Bookkeeping tricks aside, I make more money than Playboy. :thumbsup

Wonder how much Hef makes on his own? :winkwink:

Playboy is worth so much more than they are making. So is Penthouse.

I wonder why these guys can't get it together?

wow, thats a pretty big statement considering playboy is publicly traded co. :)

yeah, i also read that paper costs had considerable effect on margins...

They basically have to give the magazines away these days. I have subscriptions to just about everything, for years to come and I haven't paid for one in years.

If I want news, celebrity gossip or boobies...I take my laptop to the shitter with me.

Do you know anybody buying playboy ? I don't ...

Well it's nice to see them finally kick starting themselves online in a serious way

i couldnt agree more. but maybe the figured they never needed to. if you want playboy you just type it in.

yeh a timely move indeed

with so much online stuff...who needs a HARD copy?

Mr. Hef has much respect for all of us and for those who attended the playboy mansion.
