The mighty fall with AT&T
Article Abstract:
John C. Malone sold Tele-Communications Inc. to AT&T Corp. for $2.16 bil worth of AT&T stock, or about 38.3 mil shares. Since that March '99 deal, Mr. Malone has sold close to 30% of that stake, realizing $603 mil. Meanwhile, AT&T shares have declined by 60%, so what remains is worth $529 mil. Mr. Malone's Liberty Media Corp. has seen its Liberty Digital investments decline. At the same time, investors have bid up prices on shares of competitors Cablevision and Comcast, leading some to question the wisdom of Mr. Malone's AT&T deal.
