- Wednesday, June 12, 9:51 AM The number of households with pay-TV is forecast to rise to 1B homes globally by 2018 led by growth in China and India, according to Digital TV Research. Though it's tricky separating the potential winners from losers in the sector (DTV, DISH, TWX, NFLX), the PowerShares Dynamic Media ETF (PBS) is something of a catch-all for the trend toward growth in the media industry. Top holdings: Dish 5.13%; Disney 5.11%; Google 5.10%; DirecTV 5.07%. Comment! [Consumer, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, April 29, 1:16 PM It makes sense that an ETF holding Netflix (+133% YTD), Disney (+27%), and Time Warner (+26%) as top holdings is having a nice little run in 2013, but the PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio (PBS) ETF still has legs to run further, according to SA contributor Everyday Finance. The take on Big Media: Unlike companies in the broader tech and retail categories, media concerns tend to rarely compete on price - leaving enough profits for everyone to lap up. Comment! [Quick Ideas, Consumer]
- Thursday, January 19, 2012, 9:40 AM Defining overbought as being more than 5% above a 50-day moving average, Bespoke says 24% of tracked ETFs fit the bill. Leading the list is the homebuilders (XHB), more than 13% above its 50 day MA; Brazil (EWZ) leads the country ETFs, 8.2% above. A few more days of market gains and look for talk about the entire market being overbought. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Monday, August 1, 2011, 5:38 PM Not seeing the economic slowdown are U.S. media giants, currently riding an advertising boom. Rate increases for this year's "upfronts" - ad sales completed several months before the fall season - were among the strongest in years. The S&P media index +10% YTD vs. S&P 500 +2.4% Comment!

- Thursday, July 14, 2011, 2:08 PM Analysts say Time Warner's (TMX +0.1%) final Harry Potter installment could break the $1B mark. Adding to the positive sentiment for the firm, it also stands to gain from the significant problems at rival News Corp. (NWS +1.2%). Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, February 22, 2010, 11:43 AM Louis Bacon's hedge fund bought big stakes in Anadarko Petroleum (APC), Petroleo Brasileiro (PBS) and Hess (HES). Stanley Druckenmiller snapped up shares of Massey Energy (MEE). Why are some successful hedge funds buying energy producers? Philip Orlando: "If you believe as we do... that the U.S. and overseas economies are going to continue to grow, you want to invest in companies and industries best leveraged to benefit from that."
