However, I still believe that shareholders have not attributed enough value to either of these. With the expectation of the television revenues doubling or possibly even tripling, comparing new revenues to that of NASCAR, the stock price obviously increased.

Therefore, I do not believe that 1.3 million is the peak subscriber count for the network. I believe that the Network will see year/year growth; however, there will be some seasonality around WrestleMania and SummerSlam which can be seen in the PPV buy rates.

If the weather isn’t right for that month and there are more sellers than there are buyers than the stock market for the corporation declines. But for Verizon everyone now a days has a cell phone or tablets or some sort of electronic and when an upgrade comes in most people buy it, so they are not as hard to predict if it is a good stock to invest in or not.
