Confusion reigns at TWX -- lack of direction despite numerous assets to work with. Balance sheet too dependent on Goodwill and Intangibles it has been unable to capitalize on.

I bought it when it was above $15 a share. TWX owns 85% of Time Warner Cable, which I expect will soon be spun off. When you add up the total valuations of all the businesses TWX owns, it is cheap at $15 a share and I am waititng for the price to drop below $15 so I can buy more shares and lower my cost basis.

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.

Media companies beat earnings estimates left and right this week. How did they do it? In large part, thanks to their television divisions, where cable networks grew. With two noticeable exceptions, the television segment of these media companies was up, while the overall companies' revenues dropped. <>It's the dual revenue structure of ads and affiliate fees from cable companies that grew revenues. At CBS, ad sales were down 5%, but affiliate fees were up 11%. Affiliate fees were up double digits year over ye>...

Bargain hunters, rejoice. The price war that recently broke out over online pricing for best-selling books has now spread to DVDs.
