Hello,
I am not business wise, but I'm interested in making a large
investment. All I know is what I want to buy, not how to buy it or
make the money to buy it. I need some good resources for newbie
investors who want to spend lots of money on TV networks. |

1) Do you want to buy a TV network or just invest in a TV network?
You used both terms, so I couldn't tell.
2) What is "lots" of money...and do you already have it.
Thanks.

Oh, "lots of money", is around 215 million dollars... I know this
sounds a bit "off"...

1) I should also have asked if starting your own TV network was also
an option you are considering or would consider or have the
skills/knowledge/contacts to consider
2) It sounds like what you are *really* looking for are good
resources for learning how to make lots of $$$, with the TV network
part simply being your ultimate goal. Is that correct?
3) Do you currently have seed money with which to invest and
approximately how much. In other words, if you have $500 to invest
you need to be looking at somewhat different resources than if you
have $50,000 to invest.
4) Do you currently own an 'investment' of any sort, e.g. your own
home, a 401K, stocks, etc.
Thanks.

1) It is an option, but I don't have enough resources to do that very
well, so buying a network is a better option.
2) Sort of. I also need advice on placing the bid to the network
owners after the money is made.
3) I have around $5,000 to start with, more is being added monthly
though.
4) I have my own home and some small stocks.

Hi,
Sorry to keep asking so for many clarifications. It would be easy to
simply point you toward various how-to-earn-millions books and if you
want, I'll do just that. Heck, you're only paying $3.00 and that
would be a $3.00 answer. But I'm intrigued and having fun enough to
spend more time because you have such a specific goal and an expensive
one at that. (Plus these resources would usually require that you
answer these questions for yourself anyway :-)
1) Do you have a specific network in mind...and why? Indeed, why do
you want to own a TV network at all?
2) You say that you don't have enough resources to start your own
network, so buying one would be better, but you could start a small
local network for far less than $215 million...hiring the folks who do
have the knowledge...that's why I asked the first question. Do you
feel, for example, that it would be easier to come up with $215
million than with a lesser amount and skilled people? (It's possible
that you could, but I wanted to know your thoughts.)
3) I admit to being somewhat confused by your answer to my question
of whether or not the real issue was actually how to come up with $215
million. You said 'sort of'. I would bet money that, if you actually
accumulated or came up with $215 million, you would have no problem
with approaching an owner with a purchase offer. Indeed, besides all
the experience you would have obtained in gathering that vast amount,
you would also have financial advisors, accountants, attorneys, etc.
up the yinyang at that point as well as personal contacts. So why do
you think learning how to make the $215 million is only 'sort of' what
you need to know?
Note: I realize you said you weren't 'business wise' and maybe that's
part of it.
4) What options have you already considered for accruing $215
million. What methods are you already using? What have you decided
was not of interest to you? For example, if you earn $3,000 a month,
invest 16% of your salary at 10% interest, you'll have about 2 million
dollars in 35 years. Obviously you have to do something other than
that :-)

1) Yes. I chose "TechTV" because I am interested in technology and the
network is going down the drain. I believe I could bring it back
alive.
2) Starting a local network is an option, but it's going down the
ladder of what my goal is.
3) Correct, me not being business wise is what I meant. However, by
then I'm sure I'll know more.
4) The only ones not interesting to me are ones that take 35 years.
This is more of a dream I'm hoping can come true than it is a
realistic goal. Understand 200 million dollars is really unrealistic
but I think I can work for it.
