Media Stocks Traded Like Lambs in March (-2.2%)
That followed a “lion”-like +4.6% January/February, but the 28-stock min Index has performed worse than the Dow and Nasdaq throughout. Sumner Redstone, though, is happy, as his CBS Inc. finished the first quarter +31.4% and Viacom was +16.2%. Time...

Media Stocks - Including News Corp. and Time Warner - Are Hot This Winter
Global warming exists on Wall Street, where the Dow surpassed 12,000 and at least three stocks in the 28-stock min Index—News Corp., Time Warner Inc., and Viacom—set 52- week highs on February 3, which was our first tracking for 2011. Credit...

Media Stocks Heated Up Modestly In July
Immodestly, pardon the pun, for Playboy Enterprises, as founder (1953) Hugh Hefner’s desire to buy out the company’s outstanding shares for $5.50 per boosted the stock +36.0% over the past three weeks. Elsewhere, Martha Stewart Living...

The First Weeks Of Summer Weren’t Lazy Or Hazy, But They Were Hectic
And--for fans of the late Nat (“King”) Cole-- crazy, what with the stock market ending the second quarter so negatively and then beginning the third as if it were set off by a Fourth of July firecracker (see Stock Watch below). Hardly a siesta at...

Media Stocks Had A Good March, But Just A So-So First Quarter
Wall Street found a new “spring” in its step, wrote the New York Post’s Paul Tharp (April 1) in reacting to the Dow’s +4.8% first quarter (through April 1). A bit less “spring” in the media sector (+1.1%), but the min Index...

Media Stocks Were Less Stormy Than the Weather
But the 28-stock min Index still fell 1.3% over the past four weeks ending last Thursday (February 25), while the NASDAQ Composite and the Dow rose slightly. All relatively uneventful compared with the very low prices in Stock Watch one year ago ( min, March...

Media Stocks Are Off To A Bearish Second-Half Start
After the 28-stock min Index finished the first half +11.0%, which gave more hope for a sooner-than-later economic recovery than the Dow's -3.8%, but less than NASDAQ's +16.4%. The early second-half soured for all after the worse-than-expected June jobs...

Media Stocks' Winter Slide Is 'Better' Than the Dow
A little silver lining, if you can call it that, is that the 28-stock min Index has dropped just 3.6% since New Year's Eve, which is mild next to the -11.8% by the NASDAQ Composite and -18.2% by the Dow Jones Industrial Average. However, this is merely a...

January Media Stocks Were A Downward Déja Vu.
Cumulative +3.9% was deceptive, because of gains by the high-priced Google and Washington Post Co. Nineteen of the 28 stocks in the min Index declined in value last month, as the economy continues to suffer. STOCK WATCH (As Of January 29, 2009) COMPANY...
