$SSP CEO vested 8M worth of shares at 15 in 8/22 and and another 1M of shares at 9 in 8/23. He knows company needs to get back to 10+....Because of the large debt only a sale will accomplish that goal. Buckle up for the big news!

User Image KnuckleSandwich Posted - 1 day ago

$SSP Scripps CEO is working over time to rally the employees and push out growing media narrative. It's obvious that company sale/merger is in the works.

$SSP writing for buyout is on the wall...big buyer just stepped up for 50K shares..buyout is only way to meet goals of exec comp package. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-mind-where-we-headed-why-adam-symson-ycpcc?trk=portfolio_article-card_title

User Image KnuckleSandwich Posted - 2 days ago

$SSP Both CEO and the board are incentivized to do so because he will not otherwise qualify for the huge stock bonus in his 2022 comp package...greed will reward all the shareholders...and be the North Star of the company "news"!

User Image KnuckleSandwich Posted - 2 days ago

$SSP CEO just put out message on LinkedIn totally telegraphing company merger or sale...get ready for the news.

User Image KnuckleSandwich Posted - 2 days ago

$SSP SSP at all time historic lows and Symson is at a pep rally in NYC. Good thing board gave hime 12M stock bonus last year. He better start earning it or his time is done…board will force the company sale

User Image KnuckleSandwich Posted - 2 days ago

$SSP I’m loading the boat… SSP is going to be good by end of Q3. Easily trading 6+ if there isn’t a buyout coming 🚀

User Image Seemoremoney Posted - 2 weeks ago

$SSP I'm still somewhat bullish on this one. But, my concerns are growing. There is no doubt there is very limited growth in any broadcast company, but SSP seems undervalued to me at the moment. I wouldn't bet the farm, or anything close to it, but I'm staying in for now....down about 7% . Seems ripe for a buyout from someone? That said, never stay with a loser too long. Sometimes cutting your loses is the best option.

User Image KnuckleSandwich Posted - 2 weeks ago

$SSP market is bloodbath but SSP is holding up well…feeling like goods news is coming…partnership around sports distribution or sale of station to pay off expensive debt. Q2-Q3 political ads will be an earnings windfall this year💪🏼

User Image KnuckleSandwich Posted - 2 weeks ago

$SSP plenty of bidders that would pay 100% premium over current stock price
