I am a little delayed getting up the monthly update on the Northlake’s Market Cap and Style models because I wanted to check with Ned Davis Research (NDR), the firm that processes the models, about this month’s readings. For just the second time ever, in monthly readings going back to 1981, the “score” of both […]
I spent Wednesday at Midwest Media Day sponsored by Prudential Securities. It was a unique conference. Pru took over one floor of the hotel and the beds were removed and replaced with tables so that each room could function as a small conference room. The company management representatives stayed in place while investors rotated through […]

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 […]

Several interesting tidbits regarding traditional media and the internet were included in the collection of stories in the latest MediaWorks email I received from AdAge.com: • I’ve recounted how the shift of auto advertising to the internet has really hurt newspapers. AdAge.com reminds us that magazines are taking a serious hit as well. In 2005, […]

Last week, I re-entered NTL Incorporated (NTLI) from the long side after a several month absence. I outlined the rationale behind my decision to buy in this post but failed to provide a lot of numbers. So here goes… NTLI has 283 million shares outstanding following a 2.5 to 1 split that occurred simultaneous to […]

There continues to be a lot of chatter about Apple Computer (AAPL) and the potential French law that would force the company to open up its iTunes digital rights protection. One thing that I think is misunderstood is that the law will only really impact AAPL by forcing it to withdraw iTunes from the French […]

Last Friday, I purchased a new position in NTL Incorporated (NTLID – the D will be dropped shortly) across all Northlake client accounts. I think the stock has potential upside to at least $40 per share based on a successful merger with Telewest. The merger closed at the beginning of March. I define success as […]

One of the blogs I read regularly belongs to Mark Cuban. In a post last week, Mark discusses his view that lack of capacity in the final mile to the home will limit the ability of consumers to bypass the traditional distributors of TV, cable and satellite companies, any time in the near future. 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 […]
