		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview – Week of April 30th The focus this week will be on the labor market, with the April non-farm payroll report coming out on Friday. Many will be hoping that this report will provide confirmation that last month’s disappointment was just a one-off event and the positive trend line of the preceding months is still in place. Jobs aside, we are still in the midst of the first quarter 2012 reporting season, though we have crossed the mid-point of the cycle with about 60% of the results already in. With another 124 S&#38;P 500 companies reporting results in the coming week, we will have results from roughly 84% of the companies by the end of this week. The first quarter earnings season has turned out to be much ]]></description>

Many large and significant companies will be reporting.  They include Cisco (CSCO), CVS (CVS), Disney (DIS), Humana (HUM), Coca-Cola  (KO), PepsiCo (PEP), Time Warner (TWX) and Yum Brands (YUM). Unlike last week, it will be a relatively quiet week for economic data.  We will get the Job Opening and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which will provide some more detail to the December jobs picture.  We will also find out if Consumer Credit (not including mortgages) expanded in December.  The only other reports of significance, other ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, Bloomberg reported that News Corp. (NWSA) seeks to reach a strategic decision with Specific Media regarding the sale of MySpace, its social networking site, for about $35 million in cash and stock. News Corp. had acquired the Beverly Hills, California-based MySpace in 2005 for a price of $580.0 million. The selling process was triggered way back after the site tumbled miserably despite its early success, and constantly lagged behind its competitor Facebook Inc. with respect to its clients. Earlier, the company employed Allen &#38; Co., a New York-based investment bank, to advice about the strategic alternatives for its social-networking website. However, it is not certain whether a consensus will be reached with the California based Specific Media. Hence, News Corp. is also in discussion with Golden Gate Capital, a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Tuesday, June 28, 2011 In recent years, the bright lights of Hollywood dimmed as its revenue declined, thanks in large part to the advent of new technologies. Income streams from sales of CDs and DVDs slowed to a trickle thanks to the streaming of media via the internet and companies like Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX). Netflix is now the largest subscription entertainment company in the United States. It has over 23.6 million subscribers and accounts for 30 percent of all internet downloads in the United States during peak hours. The technology Hollywood believed could help them – 3-D films – is a flop: Audiences are put off by the high ticket prices. But now, as if from a Hollywood movie, another technology has appears on ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (LGF) recently announced the sale of its Canadian distributor Maple Pictures to the Alliance group for approximately $38.5 million. The deal subject to the approval by the Canadian regulatory authorities, allows the Alliancegroup to acquire Maple and its film library. Further, Alliance group will take charge of Maple&#8217;s exclusive long-term output deals with Lionsgate of Film, TV, Home Entertainment and Library. Moreover, the recent announcement will help Lionsgate to further fortify its distribution network. Maple’s co-founders, Laurie May and Brad Pelman, will be joining the Alliance team. A month before, Lionsgate reported mixed fourth-quarter 2011 results. The company posted quarterly earnings of 33 cents a share, a noticeable recovery from a loss of 19 cents a share in the prior-year quarter. The analysts covered by Zacks ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A leading provider of online movie rental services, Netflix Inc. (NFLX) may pay $200 million to $300.0 million a year to renew a licensing agreement for movies and television shows with Liberty Media Corp.’s Starz (LSTZA) unit, as reported by Reuters. Currently, Netflix pays approximately $30.0 million a year as license fees for the deal, which was signed in 2008 and expires in 2012. However, Netflix has yet to renew the agreement and management did not specify the exact amount. Netflix’s current agreement with Starz covers original movies from Sony Corp. (SNE) and Walt Disney Co. (DIS). Besides Starz, Netflix went on to sign a number of licensing agreements with Relativity Media and General Electric’s (GE) NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution division. These deals have catapulted Netflix from primarily a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time Warner Inc. (TWX), the diversified media conglomerate, recently posted first-quarter 2011 results. The quarterly earnings of 58 cents a share came a penny ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate but dropped 4.9% from 61 cents earned in the prior-year quarter sending the shares down by 2.7% to $36.73 in pre-market trading. On a reported basis, including one-time items, earnings came in at 59 cents a share, down 4.8% from 62 cents delivered in the year-ago quarter. However, Time Warner reaffirmed its fiscal 2011 earnings growth in the low teens. Time Warner’s total revenue in the quarter grew 6% to $6,683 million from the prior year-quarter on the heels of higher advertising revenue at its cable TV networks, and handily beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6,451 million.

		<description><![CDATA[Markets declined on Wednesday, as disappointing economic data combined with the lack of strong quarterly results weighed the benchmarks down. The job market has not looked rosy and investors’ fears were heightened with signs of a slowing economy. Even after three trading days, the markets have remained in the red for the week, failing to continue the strong gains of last month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) shed 0.7% to settle at 12,723.58. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) closed down 0.7% at 1,347.32 and the Nasdaq Composite Index finished the day at 2,828.23, shedding 0.5%. The CBOE Volatility Index surged 2.3% and settled at 17.08. The fear-gauge index has now risen over 17% in the last four trading sessions. For the week, the Dow, S&#38;P 500 and ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the April non-farm payroll report coming out Friday morning, the market&#8217;s focus remains on the labor market. And we got a less-than-reassuring glimpse of the jobs situation through the weaker-than-expected report this morning from the payroll processor, Automatic Data Processing (ADP). ADP reported that 179,000 private sector jobs were created in April, which was short of expectations in the 200,000 vicinity. This is also below current expectations of private sector jobs in the Friday&#8217;s non-farm payroll report. ADP&#8217;s position as the nation&#8217;s largest private-sector payroll processor provides it an excellent vantage point from which to read changes in the nation&#8217;s labor market. The ADP report did not do a good job of foretelling the government jobs reports in the winter months, but has been right on the money in ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Thursday, April 21, 2011 A showdown is happening in Hollywood… though not the kind seen in a Western. On one side of the corral stand Hollywood movie studios. On the other, the largest cinema chains in the United States. And like what happened at the O.K. Corral, it could change history. The problem started several weeks ago with a few major Hollywood movie studios: Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Studios and 20th Century Fox. Those four agreed to release their films on a premium video-on-demand basis with satellite company DirecTV (Nasdaq: DTV). More specifically, they agreed to offer them just a month or two after their theatrical releases. This marks a big change, since studios currently wait up to four months before doing ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to Bloomberg, News Corp. (NWSA), a diversified global media company, advanced to Vevo.com, the online music website, for exploring the future prospects of MySpace, its social networking site. The buzz is that News Corp. might swap MySpace for a stake in a new venture of Vevo.com. However, no consensus has been reached on the deal, as Vevo.com is one of the numerous possible buyers of MySpace. News Corp. has acquired the Beverly Hills, California-based MySpace in 2005 for a price of $580.0 million. The company has employed Allen &#38; Co., a New York-based investment bank, to advice about the strategic alternatives for its social-networking website. The company seeks to reach a strategic decision regarding MySpace before June. The process was triggered after the site tumbled miserably despite its early ]]></description>

This time, it wants to change how internet commerce is conducted, by way of its iPhone and iPad devices. The company is dictating tougher terms, such as a 30% cut of subscriber content fees sold through its devices. Its new international rules require content publishers with digital subscriptions to do the same through its App Store. The businesses won’t even be allowed to link to their websites from the apps unless they do so through an Apple app. This will force more subscribers through Apple’s digital content store.

		<description><![CDATA[Viacom Inc. (VIA.B) reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2011. While earnings per share (EPS) beat the Zacks Consensus Estimates, revenues fell well short of it. This was primarily due to extremely weak sales of DVD and lack of successful movie releases at the Hollywood box office. Meanwhile, strong viewership ratings for Viacom’s cable channels resulted in higher advertising revenue. First Quarter Highlights Net income from continuing operation was $620 million or $1.02 per share compared with a net income of $693 million or $1.14 per share in the prior-year quarter. However, EPS of $1.02 surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 99 cents. Total revenue was $3,828 million, down 5% year over year. This was well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,139 million.

Interest rate hikes from central banks of India and Australia also had a part in yesterday’s rally. The 30-share blue-chip average advanced 64 points, or about 0.6%, to 11,188.72, its highest level since April 26. The broader S&#38;P’s 500-stock index climbed more than 9 points, or nearly 0.8%, to 1193.57 and the technology-focused Nasdaq rose more than 28 points, or 1.1%, to 2533.52.

(LGF) to salvage the debt-ridden Hollywood studio Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (“MGM”) is an Indian conglomerate. Sahara India Pariwar has put forward a bid to buy the debt of MGM for around $2 billion. This attempt would help bring Hollywood and Bollywood together. If the deal comes through, the co-owners and producer of James Bond movie series, the Broccoli family, would get an unrevealed equity stake in the new company. The bid for the studio is not the maiden attempt by an Indian company, as Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group’s Reliance Entertainment was also in talks to buy the studio, though the transaction did not ultimately materialize.

The results significantly beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, the loss of net subscribers makes some analysts skeptical regarding DISH Network’s future prospects. Second Quarter Highlights Total revenue increased 9.1% year over year to $3.17 billion and exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.12 billion. Second quarter earnings of $257 million or 57 cents per share were higher than $63 million, or 14 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. Quarterly earnings also came in well ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 53 cents. DISH Network lost approximately 19,000 net subscribers, ending the quarter with approximately 14.32 million subscribers. This was primary due to increased competitive pressure, which negatively impacted both ]]></description>

FiOS TV customers can watch one program through Verizon&#8217;s set-top box on a traditional TV and another program on the iPad with an in-home Wi-Fi connection. Verizon expects the launch of iPad Live TV App in 2011. This new launch will minimize competition from cable rivals such as Comcast Corp. (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC). Verizon is in negotiation with content providers like Time Warner Inc. (TWX) and Walt Disney Co. (DIS) for the extension of live TV viewing to tablet computers and home appliances. During the second quarter 2010, Verizon added 174,000 and 196,000 new customers for ]]></description>

According to the research firm NPD, U.S. retail sales of hardware, software and accessories decreased 0.5% year over year to $846.5 million in July. However, this excludes Activision Blizzard’s (ATVI) most recent release, StarCraft II, for personal computers (PC). NPD does not include sales from PC games in its monthly game sales data. For the month of June, retail sales of hardware, software and accessories in the U.S. decreased 6.0% year over year to $1.1 billion. According to Activision, within 48 hours of its release, StarCraft II sold more than 1.5 million. Including the game, industry sales almost increased 4.0%, according to NPD.

		<description><![CDATA[After tepid gains in May, video game sales again declined in June 2010. However, this fall was in line with the Wall Street analysts’ expectations. According to research firm NPD, retail sales of hardware, software and accessories in the U.S. decreased 6.0% year over year to $1.1 billion. Software sales declined 15.0% year over year to $531.3 million, considerably weaker than the analysts’ expectations. Historically, the first quarter (April, May and June) has always been the seasonally weak quarter for the Video game industry. We believe the lack of new game releases, especially from the big third-party publishers such as Electronic Arts Inc. (ERTS) and Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI) led to the disappointing results. Take Two Interactive Software Inc.‘s (TTWO) title Red Dead Redemption, which was released in May, remained ]]></description>

(BSkyB) for £7.8 billion (US$11.5 billion) or 700 pence per share. The Rupert Murdoch-led News Corp. already owns a 39% stake in BSkyB. However, BSkyB’s management has rejected the offer as too low and stated that they may support an offer of more than 800 pence per share. Nevertheless, BSkyB has entered into an agreement with News Corp. to work together to obtain the required approvals from regulatory authorities in the event of a merger. Moreover, both companies have decided to discuss on a valuation, which benefits all shareholders. News Corp.’s offer of 700 pence per share represents a premium of 16.7% over BSkyB’s closing price of 600 pence on Monday. ]]></description>
