This post is part of a series in which TheStockAdvisors.com asked financial experts to name their top stock pick if McCain or if Obama wins the election.
"It looks very much to me like there will be a rough few years ahead in the United States, whichever candidate wins; however, if Obama wins, we see opportunity in select stocks such as Microsoft, Time Warner and First Solar," says Martin Hutchinson in The Money Map Reporter.
"If Obama takes the White House, interest rates will surely rise. And the ma

Based on their campaign promises and party platforms
Ladies and gentleman, this fund investor grew tired of watching his family's portfolio get pummeled by double-digit percentage points and decided to become a stockholder. So, I snapped up a tiny position in Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS).
Before now, I avoided individual equities for several reasons, including that I was prohibited from owning them because of my previous job. I also felt uncomfortable owning stocks since I write about so many of them. My financial planner also discouraged us from taking positions in i...
Barron's author Dimitra Defotis calls Time Warner (TWX) stunningly cheap. Here's why:
New CEO Jeffrey Bewkes is likely to separate, spin off, or sell the subscription arm of AOL - its weakest link - which will expose the strength of its digital ad platform, recently bolstered by AOL's $850M purchase of UK social-networking site Bebo. Despite its problems, AOL boasts 35% margins.
AOL and parent Time Warner (TWX) have been in the news quite a bit
lately. Time Warner today reported it is spinning off its cable unit
and will receive a $9.25B dividend in return.<!---->
So the ongoing transformation of the company continues.
w/ bad times here and in the near future , twx is still a good pick , people will still get cable & twx has a good div. & google will be knocking on hte door to buy AOL !! so buy up some shares !
This stock has gone nowhere in ten years and through this boom market because of bad decisions at the top. For example, AOL has gone from a subscription model to an ad revenue model... the subscriptions is all it had going for it. They were burnt by soft ad markets before. I just do not get why it hasnt been spun off yet. If you're going to buy media on the cheap get News Corp, especially if the new business channel does well.
I bought a few shares of TWX earlier this year when it was just under $17. Since then, it has risen fairly well and I noticed today that it even cracked $21. I'm going to hold on to it for now in the hopes that it could go up to 23 by mid next year. I think Parsons is on the right track and AOL's free model seems to be working out.
The departure of Jon Miller & Jason Calacanis left the blogosphere shocked this week. Although some may think the change occurs at a strange time, Mr. Falco's resume means
1) TWX acknowledges the corporate strategy is working and AOL is heading to the right direction
2) Now heading for prime time, AOL needs a proven veteran to lead them to become a front runner in mainstream ad platform.
I see this as a necessary change of leadership, similar to what Yahoo did with Mr. Tim Koogle back them (although the companies are at two different stages, of course).
The Yahoo Drama
- Folks - it's not everyday that we can see an intense drama like this one. Now all of a sudden everyone wants to get into the Yahoo Deal.
