Following comments on the last quarterly conference from Bob Iger, speculation has increased that Disney (DIS) may be looking to sell its radio stations and the ABC Radio Network. Recent articles in trade magazines and The Wall Street Journal leave the impression that the division is being shopped, or at least it is being made […]
The annual upfront television advertising market moved close to conclusion last week for the broadcast television networks. ABC, CBS, and FOX all announced their sales. Only NBC, which is in the weakest position due to a 15% decline in ratings last TV season, has yet to wrap up its sales. The upfront market is when […]
Crash lost 400 screens for this weekend and is down to about 900 screens. With the film’s theatrical run winding down, I thought it would be worthwhile to provide a final review of the very favorable economics and also peak into the future for Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF). LGF shares have performed well on the […]

This morning, the #2 strategist at Ned Davis Research (NDR), Tim Hayes, discussed NDR’s latest views on the stock market. A Northlake client astutely noted that Tim was recommending large cap value while Northlake’s models just switched from large cap value to large cap growth. Given that Northlake’s models are produced by and based on […]

Due to a slowing but still growing economy and a decisive turn in the intermediate-trend indicators, the model Northlake uses to allocate between growth and value ETFs shifted from value to growth for June. This is the first monthly signal favoring growth since October 2003! The market cap model had no change for June and […]
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are central to the execution of Northlake’s unique investment strategy. ETFs represent the bulk of client portfolios and are the vehicles used to apply the signals from Northlake’s Market Cap and Style models. I recently received a primer on ETFs from one of the main creators and distributors. Here is a […]
I was surprised by the market’s strong response to the news story that Apple Computer (AAPL) was considering using Intel (INTC) chips in future Macs. I think part of the upside was short-covering as the stock was gapping up above its highs since the collapse after the last quarterly earnings report. The gap up also […]

Motorola (MOT) shares have finally gotten moving after an initial lull following the company’s excellent first-quarter earnings report and increased guidance. A combination of factors have led to the move in the stock including the announcment of a larger than expected share buyback. In my review of MOT’s first quarter earnings, I mentioned a share […]

CETV shares fell sharply after 1Q earnings and guidance were issued. The 1Q numbers were a bit light […]
With all the market craziness and earnings reports, I failed to provide a follow-up regarding the first quarter earnings report for NTL (NTLI). As I expected, it was a sloppy quarter. However, as I hoped, management confirmed its subscriber guidance which suggests the worst is past. In fact, subscriber growth in the first quarter was […]
