Is Disney's 'High School Musical' fad fading?	Filed under: Television, General Electric (GE), Time Warner (TWX), CBS Corp 'B' (CBS), News Corp'B' (NWS), Media WorldAs a Disney (NYSE: DIS) shareholder, the High School Musical juggernaut is important to me. It means money for the company. It means a point of distinction for Disney that adds value to its content and differentiates it from other media businesses such as News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) and Time Warner (NYSE: TWX). It means that tweens have something realistic to relate to that reflects t...	July 23, 2008

GE's Universal gives 'em Hellboy at the box office!	Filed under: General Electric (GE), Time Warner (TWX), Walt Disney (DIS), Sony Corp ADR (SNE), News Corp'B' (NWS), FilmGeneral Electric (NYSE: GE) didn't see a huge reaction to its earnings on Friday. I think the stock closed up by only a couple pennies. But at least its NBC Universal asset scored a hit with Hellboy II: The Golden Army. According to Boxofficemojo, it topped this weekend's domestic box office with a gross of more than $35 million. Sony's (NYSE: SNE) Hancock, however, is close. Th...	July 14, 2008

With $35bn to spare, Buffett is poised to feed off the bear(via www.guardian.co.uk)During the great bear market of 1974, Warren Buffett was asked by a rather staid fellow how he felt. 'Like an over-sexed guy in a whorehouse,' he replied. 'Now is the time to invest and get rich.'2. The Roots of a Value-Investment Philosophy(via yesandnotyes.com)I've had the good fortune of a friend loaning to me Seth Klarman's Margin of Safety. The followi...	July 11, 2008
Check out AOL's new real-time quotes	Filed under: General Electric (GE), Time Warner (TWX)AOL Money & Finance launched real-time quotes this week. The site's quote pages still headline with exchange-provided delayed stock prices. But right below that now, you can see a real-time quote that is provided by BATS Trading, an electronic communication network, or ECN (more information here). It shows the prices that broker dealers use to trade big lots of stock among themselves. It is usually the same as the price the exchanges quote...	July 10, 2008
Will GE get out of hot water by selling NBC to Time Warner?	Filed under: Deals, Rumors, Industry, General Electric (GE), Time Warner (TWX), CBS Corp 'B' (CBS), Time Warner Cable (TWC)General Electric (NYSE:GE), which reports earnings tomorrow, has indicated that it may spin-off its weakest divisions -- the firm's consumer and industrial units. No one cared, and the stock did not move. The action would not be enough, nearly enough to pull GE away from its multi-year lows. What investors would really like to see is GE broken into little pieces, the small...	July 10, 2008
Why Time Warner (TWX) shareholders hate a Yahoo! (YHOO) deal	Filed under: Deals, Microsoft (MSFT), Yahoo! (YHOO), Time Warner (TWX)There has been pressure on the shares of Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) for a couple of days now. Today the stock is down nearly 30 cents to $14.09 after losing about 40 cents yesterday. Lehman put out a rough report on media stocks yesterday, which did not help the company's cause. The real reason that Time Warner shareholders may be sullen is that they are concerned about a possible Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) buyout of AOL, rumored to...	July 09, 2008

Although Steve Carell isn't funny, 'Get Smart' was number one	Filed under: Time Warner (TWX), Viacom (VIA), News Corp'B' (NWS), Film, Marvel Entertainment (MVL)I didn't think Get Smart was going to come in at number one, but that's exactly what happened, according to Boxofficemojo. The film, distributed by Time Warner (NYSE: TWX), took in an estimated $39 million at domestic theaters. The film, quite frankly, looks horrible, and I don't get the fascination people have with Steve Carell's supposed "comedic talents." I don't really find him funny. Doesn't ma...	June 23, 2008
