SBGI
Sinclair Broadcas - $4.00
- -1.72%
- $4.09
Q: Tell us about some equity holdings. A: The television market in general has very good fundamentals. This is a presidential- election year, and the expectation is this will be the biggest spending year ever for TV broadcasting in terms of advertising. We are long the equity of Sinclair Broadcasting Group [SBGI], which owns a string of television stations around the U.S. It's a well-managed company with strong free-cash flow. And they have been benefiting from retransmission.

TWX
Time Warner Inc N - $31.70
- +0.19%
- $31.54
We also like some cable companies, including Time Warner [TWX]. These companies have always traded at discounts to their private-market values. But we expect them to have high-single-digit cash-flow growth this year. Warner has a catalyst, given that [President and Chief Executive Jeffrey] Bewkes has telegraphed he's going to be splitting up the company. Time Warner trades at a significant discount to what we think its intrinsic value is, and it doesn't have a lot of debt. We believe, whether it's through dividends or buying back shares, they are going to releverage their balance sheet.

LBTYA
Liberty Global - $23.03
- +2.13%
- $22.64
Q: Any other thoughts on the cable industry? A: We like international cable a lot. There's less competition overseas and we feel good about earnings. Liberty Global [LBTYA], is our largest holding.

-
MGM
M G M Mirage - $10.40
- -0.38%
- $10.38
Q: Where else do you see value? A: With casinos, take a look at MGM Mirage [MGM] compared to Harrah's Entertainment [HET]. Recently you could buy the debt of Harrah's, which has a better collection of assets, yielding close to 15% and trading at six or seven times cash flow. At the same time, MGM's equity was trading at about 10 times cash flow. We felt Harrah's debt was a better buy. We were short some MGM equity earlier this month, given that growth in Las Vegas is under some pressure in this economic environment, but we covered after the shares went down. MGM is a terrific company, but it turned out to be a good short for us.

Calpine Corp - $11.05
- 0.00%
- $N/A
Q: Do you hold Calpine bank debt? A: Yes. On the bank-loan side, we are focusing much more on companies where we are at the top of the capital structure. Calpine and TXU Energy, the Texas utility taken private last year, are interesting loans.
