BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

AMC theaters promotes risky business venture

Reprints
AMC

The extraordinary retail interest that has launched AMC Entertainment Holdings’ equity up 2,850% this year is spurring a new stock sale that could come with an interesting plot twist for daring investors, as indicated in a risk management warning on the sale: prepare to lose your investment.

The movie theater chain announced its stock sale Thursday complete with a risk factor included in the AMC prospectus, accessed by MarketWatch.com:

The market prices and trading volume of our shares of Class A common stock have recently experienced, and may continue to experience, extreme volatility, which could cause purchasers of our Class A common stock to incur substantial losses.

And perhaps preempting litigation with honesty, AMC says later in the prospectus:

Under the circumstances, we caution you against investing in our Class A common stock, unless you are prepared to incur the risk of losing all or a substantial portion of your investment.
