RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:May exit.Well hawk35, you are correct that some of the new generation is only buying internet and specialty channels but I don't believe that trend is quite as prevalent as you would have us believe. I have many nieces and nephews and only one of them has mentioned cancelling their TV and gone to internet and streaming services only and that's only because they say they never watch much TV anyway and like you said they can still get access to some local channels anyway.
I personally subscribe to what feels like every streaming service known to man (Netflix, Paramount+, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime) mainly because my wife is a movie nut and in the big picture it's really a small part of our living expenses, but moreso because apparently we only live once. I also still have a full internet and TV package through Shaw/Rogers although I might have to switch over to Bell to help boast their share price if it keeps going down ....LOL. Oh, and I also have 100 Gbs of 5G data and unlimited data beyond the 100 GBs that I use when I'm away camping or vacationing in Mexico to stream my streaming services and Shaw/Rogers TV along with the couple of laptops we use while away. Don't deal with Bell because I'm in western Canada or I could maybe help offset some of those New Generation type's lost Bell revenue.
The new generation is certainly an interesting bunch and while some may truly need to cut costs to make ends meet, there are plenty that just like to portray how frugal they can be, yet what I find most intriguing is when I watch an NHL hockey games on TV, there's always plenty of New Generation types at the games slurping down $20 glasses of beer and eating $5 pizza slices but hey to each their own. Now to me, being truly frugal and getting the best value for a dollar would be to pay the extra $120 a month for TV and watch the NHL games at home on my large screen TV, have a $1.50 can of beer (or even a half dozen at that price), cook a $7 Costco pizza (even add a few toppings if you like that pizza a little healthier), and even have a little snooze during intermissions if you need to, all in the comfort of your own home.
So about this New Generation thing, last time I checked, Canada apparently has an aging population problem. Now to me that means that there's still alot of the Older Generation around and they've got money to spend. And that's because the Older Generation grew up without a plastic card(s) in their wallet having to learn the value of a dollar and how to get the best value for their money and that's why they can afford Netflix, Paramount Plus+, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime AND their full TV package and don't waste their time on a Stockhouse Chat board posting about a company that they're not even interested in investing in.
And so that's got me wondering hawk35, why are you here telling us all how bad of an investment BCE is if you really don't think BCE has a chance in hell of making money and the stock is only going down from here? Ah, I'll bet you're here to save us from Investment Armageddon or perhaps just hoping that you can scare off a few of the more senior investors and get the stock a bit lower so you can buy it cheaper or maybe you're just shorting it? And since you're so negative on the Telecoms you might as well avoid Telus and Rogers and all the rest too.
I don't like to brag hawk35, but I've already made more money in stock investing in the first 3 month of 2024 than most people earn in a full year of working and why do you think that is hawk35? Must be because I don't know what I'm doing...Lol. I can assure you I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I can make some good money on BCE and I'm not playing with a few hundred shares, but hey I'll take your comments under advisement...LOL.
As for the rest of the serious BCE investors here that have an investing time horizon longer than a few hours, have patience, BCE isn't going bankrupt and we will be well rewarded.
