Company in trouble--looking to sell itself DISK

79%

-10.00% in 139 days A failed merger due to the dry-up of credit has put Image Entertainment in trouble.  the future of the company is uncertain and recent reports cited by the company mention that it can not survive for a long time with its existing assets and debts.

Buyouts which rely on a company taking on debt and/or borrowing capitol to com... Continue reading »
