    Consider myself and independent voter - but registered Dem. I'm not sure why
    Democrats (liberals - or whatever the current nom de plume) are so interested in
    raising capital gains....???? As a middle class retiree, and one who is responsible for our retirement portfolio, those lower cap gains taxes are keeping us alive. And the last I've
    heard, there's a lot of us keeping this economy moving - even considering that it might be on slow idle.

    What really cracked me up was, Obama ripping into the deficit and with the same breath calling for another stimulus package. Go figure! Reply

    Ah, the budget thing. On the one hand, the deficit is about 3% of GDP - worse than recent years, but OK by historical and international standards. As for thet politics of it, forget McCain's tax cuts. That would take agreement by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, both of whom would like higher capital gains taxes, an end to the Social Security tax limit, and elimination of the favorable rates for dividends and capital gains. Health care is the issue where fiscal prudence will run into politcs, and that's not a battle that prudence is likely to win if the liberal Dems control both houses and the presidency. Reply

    Martha Stewart Living Gets "Two For One" With New co-CEOs [view article]
    The reason you don't often see joint CEO's is that they don't work very well. One prime example--- CITI. Reply

    Criticism is more valuable when you point out the actual flaws in the thing you're criticizing, as opposed to merely saying: "The individual doesn't know".

    What I do know is that Time and Newsweek are having trouble selling magazines to my generation and their response is to berate us for thinking their magazine as old and stodgy, as opposed to looking at the way we actually consume news media.

    I.e. My generation is telling Newsweek how to reach us, but Newsweek is ignoring the message.     Reply

    When consumer of media decide that they have some expertise in a market because they consume, it somehow comes across as fact via the internet. Thankfully, magazines like Time and Newsweek have a process called fact-checking which keeps them and their stories on-target and relevant. What Mr Lee doesn't know about the magazine industry is clear from his "analysis", which he should hold to cocktail party observations and not share with an investing audience. Reply

    "Microsoft (MSFT) has for all intents gone silent. All this can mean only one thing: A deal between the two has to be getting ever closer."

    Possibly. But not necessarily. People seem to keep forgetting that this merger absolutely DOES NOT benefit EITHER company or their respective shareholders. If it DOES look like it's going forward, expect numerous shareholder lawsuits.     Reply

    The Magazine Business: Bad, Getting Worse [view article]
    What one finds in the article is not surprising...people are choosing internet websites to find their information (including magazine articles, celebrity stories, etc.); in addition, postal mailing rates for publishers will be going up on a regular basis in the future. Even mailing rates are becoming a problem for these publishers. Reply

    Martha Stewart Takes Another Hit [view article]
    I bought MSO at $10.00, saw it hit $33 and now a nose dive. I know that her stuff is selling, also now with Macy's, sears, where's the money going? Hope this old broad can change and get the stock rolling again. Her wallet must be filling quicky cause we're not seeing anything good. Think there must be another brewing? Reply

    Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals!! While the media attributes MSO's current plight to every reason imaginable, eg: tax loss sell-off, Susan Lyne possible leave, the market being down. MSO fundamentals are terrible! The media is side-stepping the issue, including this article. The truth of the matter is that MSO is a $5.00 issue at best. At worst, it should BK once the KMart deal drops precipitously following the royalty payment in January 2008.

    Marfa and her cohorts are creating new outlets to replace KMart but without success. All of the current marketing of Marfa's name cannot save this Titanic. So break out the drinks, the ice will soon be here.     Reply

    Any short-term uptick in MSO will be short lived. Even if merchandising revenue rises next quarter on the final K-Mart license payment, they will need HUGE Macy's numbers to offset the lost revenue from K-Mart going forward. Given that Martha's line never met expectations at K-Mart (it always received the minimum royalty payment), and houseware retailers are in freefall (see BBBY), this seems destined to fail...
    Not sure where the bottom is for Martha but I don't think we've seen it yet....     Reply
