In this case, you WANT Slim to buy the times.

See, all the US stuff that Slim’s bought in the last decade has turned to fecal matter. He ran CompUSA into the ground for example.

If he buys the Times, the Times will be out of business in five years, tops.

I estimate two years, regardless of whether Slim puts money in it or not. Revenues are imploding in ALL newspapers. NYT is about to start peeing red ink all over the place.

It sure doesnt sound like a smart investment.
