Given Northlake’s new long position, in NTL Incorporated (NTLI), I pay close attention to the press reports out of the UK. I follow them via Google News doing a simple daily search on NTL. Sunday’s articles were particularly interesting. First, there is an interesting profile of Richard Branson’s history with Virgin Mobile and some of […]
Over and StreetInsight.com, where I write daily commentary, there has been a series of posts debating the value of Apple Computer (AAPL) shares. A StreetInsight colleague got the ball rolling with a cautious post. Another colleague and I took up his challenge and responded. What follows is the exchange as it is currently archived on […]

I outlined the rationale behind my decision to buy in this post but failed to provide a lot of numbers.

Mark’s […]
Last week, Central European Media Enterprises (CETV) announced an equity offering. The company appears to be raising cash for future investments as the SEC filing document indicates the proceeds of the offering will go in the bank. I doubt it will stay there for long but assuming the interest earned will 4%, I see the […]

Jeff Bagley and I share a similar view of stock market investments and own several of the same stocks for our clients. Since you are probalby getting bored with my commentary, please click “Continue Reading” to read Jeff’s insightful thoughts on MOT.
It’s been a rotten year so far for shareholders of Apple Computer (AAPL). AAPL shares have fallen almost 10% against a gain of close to 6% for the S&P 500. I’ve felt the pain as all clients of Northlake and my own accounts own AAPL. My pain was lessened a bit this weekend when I […]
