Last year: 43 cents per share
This year: 14 cents per share

scary stuff!

That's the profit, at least the shareholders aren't loosing money...

I'm surprized they're still in business actually, magazines are so 1980. At least they've finally jumped into the online game, although they were at little late.

One thing's for sure, we'll be seeing an increasing number of branded gfy skins. :D

maybe that's why they cracked down on sigs..think about it, if the threads are filled with sigs, who's going to put their ads at the top where no one is looking? at least now the banner stands out.

well if stock goes down you can get it cheaper

are you really surprised?

Stock price has no real relation to the value of a company it is just what someone is willing to pay for it. Personally I think at that share price Playboy becomes a very attractive buy.

The online playboycash stuff sucks... They make it so hard to promote their content, actually for the most part the whole adult.com affiliate program is aged. They need to invest in a much better tech staff me thinks.

I would promote Playboyhahaha174; but they make it so hard to use their content.

are really this stupid?

That's probably exactly why they bought adult.com...

Hasn't companies like Playboy and Hustler etc etc sales have been on a downward spiral for a while now?

You do realize they spent millions buying Lensman out, right? You do know spending money takes away from profits, right?

it is expected of any business that profits decrease some time. there is a time for boom and a time for recession.

I predict this site will be shutdown by the end of the year, or dumped from Playboy and made it's own again. :2 cents:

Jim Cramer said on "Mad Money" about a month ago that Playboy is one of the worst maganged companies he has ever seen and he is done with them and to sell the stock.

Hefner said higher paper prices, a postal rate increase, and weak newsstand sales for almost every category of magazine have plagued earnings in the publishing industry.

WTF???? could this possibly be true?

I can't wait to bring this thread back up in about 6 months.

Finally people are getting tired of dumb looking blondes, fake tits and air brushing.

Plus, who the fuck buys magazines anymore?

so buy now?

I do... Every two weeks. As much as they will let me comes right out of my paycheck.
