I just remember reading elsewhere in passing. I would hope, personally, to be wrong on this one.

I do remember being shocked to read it. Since I read The Onion daily, there is the possibility...

Playboy is a great brand, but they are spending money on the magazine and all the special editions that is not worth it. Forget stopping DVD production. The company would save a lot if they became an online media company instead.

The magazine has been in the red for years, while Playboy TV, Spice, Jenna and licencing the bunny/playboy brand to everyone.

Market cap is $37.5M
Surely someone on here has that kind of cash laying around for a takeover
Of course you'll also get about $260M in dept for that money.

Playboy need to push onto the Internet harder, why embarrassingly buy a mag when you can privately log into and buy access to a site.

They also need to strengthen the brand with some more BIG reality TV shows... Worldwide search for the next big bunny, get everyone involved, make it an event, leverage the brand...

Push to getting celebrities in the mags/on the net...

More TV shows.... MORE TV SHOWS...

PUSH the merchandise more... For some reason girls like to buy into being "sluts"... Capitalize on it more.

Stick to the very highest quality women - girls you can't find everyday on the net... PERFECT women... and celebrities (I hate celebs - but they get attention).

The problem with playboy is too many people in three different parts of the country doing too many different things and the chiefs to busy worrying about covering their asses and getting
their bucks out like every other big company in America

They are waiting for their bailout like everyonr else

40% of Playboy readers are women... do you know why? Because women measure each other up all the time, to see what thier competition is. Because deep down, they think they are amongst that class. This wont stop.

Elections determine alot of economic trends, prosecutions, moral high ground speaches and strip club closures just so the politicians can try to out-virgin each other.

I've had 4 model submissions this week with PLAYBOY BUNNY tatoos on them... ever seen an Enron, BofA, or Southwest Airlines Tatoo? Because they're not sexy, Playboy is.

People will not stop jerking off to the most beautiful women in the world... move along... nothing to see here. It's always darkest before the dawn.

It will be safe to jerk off soon again, and people will continue to buy new porn, just be patient.
i'm afraid this is the thinking that brought many companies down
I have to admit I have the same feeling,

Too many companies almost seem to be blind with their product to me, typically those that were prosperous in the times, when the offer and ways how to market adult / porn was way more limited.

The ratio between people who Know the brand / people who PAY for the brand is obviously going the wrong direction.

On the other hand - check Hustler and their online division, Larry started seriously in online in 96 and also made a great move choosing WebQuest (I guess two years later) to care about their web properties.

Playboy has 20 international editions: USE the best of that content also for the US Playboy magazine and especially for the Cyber Club.

The international Playboy editions have local celebrities, beauty queens & models posing for them, you think there might be some hot women amongst them?

Also include ALL the celebrities that have been featured in Playboy magazine over the years in the Cyber Club.

The International Magazine section in the Cyber Club has only 26 pictorials, have more of them please, most of these women put the "100th fake boobed amateur of the niched PB sites" to shame

Playboy should have women you can't see anywere else + Playboy can get them, so what's the hold up?

Playboy is in the publishing / media business. The primary revenue stream for publishing / media is advertising. Advertising spending is closely linked to the economy. During an economic downturn companies cut costs. Step 1 is layoffs (since payroll is the #1 expense for most businesses), the next expense on the chopping block is sales / mktg expense (advertising, etc). In other words, the media business is very sensitive to changes in the economy.

any business is only as strong as its management/leadership. "brand" has very little to do with anything in and of itself

not sure why people think playboy should survive and thrive without knowing anything about them, who's running the show, what their plans are and how they plan to adapt to a new media reality (which they ignored until they were bankrupt anyway)

If the mansion is not leveraged you could buy and sell the mansion and break even. Then put the full plyboy archive on the web and sell a decent membership to it. People would rebill for the ten years it takes to jerk off to it.

It is true the Brazil pb magazine is filled with stars and celebrities here in Brazil. The name brand is huge here. It is not slutty but a glamourous thing to be in playboy.

I said it once and I'll say it again...They need to follow Maxim and put real Celebs on the cover again. Their 3 Month turnaround is too long. They have also been putting some celebs on the cover then you buy it and they are not nude, that is false advertising.

They need to get back to their roots.

same thing all around the globe

so when can we expect to see the Brazilian Playmates in PB Webmaster sites, those might sell really well

Playboy is a global brand, wish Playboy would use that for their online activities

another example: the Playboy Shop only ships to 4 or 5 countries

I am 50 and grew up with Playboy but can't remember the last time I saw a copy anywhere. Everything has it's time and then if you don't move on you die.

so weird since I read on http://www.globeinvestor.com/servlet...r1031/GIStory/

"Playboy Enterprises Inc. is expected to lose 7 cents (U.S.) a share in the third-quarter, down from an 8-cent profit last year."

but good for them, hope it keeps going up

I won't own this share even if it were a buck. It had too much debt and chances are it could go bankrupt in this type of economy if bank aren't leaning money. However, I think the stock slide with the general market and in my opinion the sell off was excessive.

you make money in the stock market taking risks, those looking for stocks that have great numbers great balance sheets great everything will end up buying that stock at max price and not making much money, warren buffet always says "be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy" and obviously if your goal is very long term investing like buffet (he rarely sells stock) is ok and yeah youd want to make sure they have the best balance sheet in town, this stock is cheap and once things calm down I see it moving up real nice, I mean at a buck or so a share take 5k and throw it in worst that can happen is you lose 5k but in reality I thinking it will be a 4dollar stock within a few months, given they follow thru with the steps they outlines in the last conf call (many things they already have started doing)
