    @ Mariposa: I sold C in 2004 for 57.00 , being ridiculed by friends and
    family ! Why: my brother-in-law works for C.
    Today I buy Wachovia! Take one of their employees to lunch,
    they'll convince you !

    Jenn: get 6 jack-ups in the gulf and have them drill 50 holes
    off our coast, east or west ! Report on wildcatter activity
    around the country : within 60 days , the wild-out-of-order
    speculating will subside.

    Paulson is a putz! I would be more emphatic, but writing what he REALLY is would be too profane for this medium. Reply

    Paulson and his boss BUSH will never admit they are wrong on Oil... Paulson is an absolute idiot to say Speculation isn't contributing to higher oil... Speculation may not be the SOLE FACTOR, but it is a cause for higher oil.. Our goverment should at least step and control that aspect of the problem..But, first they (GOVT) must admit there is a problem.

    Citi's plan is a big part of what led to the 2000-2002 problem, rating high who they serve. I did learn to ignore any analyst recommendation from this type of institution, and quit using Morgan Stanley as a brokerage.
    Wish I had followed the advice of an investing buddy who said he didn't buy what he didn't understand.     Reply

    In exhibit 21, why is the percentage revenue splits higher for domestic box office as compared to overseas box office, when the revenue numbers are exactly the opposite?

    Why Media Stocks Are Looking So Ugly [view article]
    worst of all - there is absolutely no moat around any of these stocks; cable has virtually obliterated any real barriers to entry; the internet has allowed anyone and everyone to compete; and the viewing public has become so diffuse, that the chance of sustained concentration in viewers or readers, or other devourers of content is slipping off the ledge.

    Bollywood and Hollywood Are Teaming Up for Growth [view article]
    Hi Julia,

    I love Indian "food".

    I also read your articles regularly. I like your "style".

    While I appreciate your optimism regarding India (and perhaps the other three components of the economically explosive BRICS ... that's Brazil, Russia, India, and China ... as well), I think any article on this subject that does not mention Intellectual Property rights and concerns falls short on the big picture ... both the opportunties and the problems.

    Creative industries cannot thrive in economies where 8 out of 10 (or, realistically, even more!) copyrighted works are pirated rather than used under a reasonable licensing fee arrangement.

    Piracy in the BRICS is actually growing in gross numbers, in spite of what these governments claim. It is simply a fact of life that the youth in these countries are NOT taught to respect intellectual property rights at any level of their education.

    These hypocritcal worldwide standards have influenced the youth in this country as well. By and large, we are taught not to steal ... unless, of course that stealing pertains to movies, songs, digtial artwork, and photographs downloaded from the Internet.

    But, at least we do hold people accountable if, and when, we catch them.

    So, by and large, we in this country will respect the Indian Bollywood copyrights while India distibutes our Hollywood works under virtually no government sponsored sense of business integrity or legality.

    Why do you think this country has gotten itself into this economic mess, Julia? We are weak-kneeed on the protection of American copyrights, and quick to look for the PR or business opportunties of producing a movie with cheap labor or making a cameo appearance every now and then.

    "Food" for thought.

    Keep up the dialogue.

    Spielberg and Co. Look to India for Next Move [view article]
    With India rising it amazes me that WorldSpace (WRSP) has not performed better than it has. Being the sole media satellite owner/operator in the European/Africa continents, with an upstart satellite radio service up and runing in India as well as other European nations. Their stock has been stuck under $4.00 for over a year now. I would suspect that once the Sirius/XM merger completes, they should start to move. Julia, is there any merit to this line of thought?

    "Slack in factory utilization can be a signal of building inflationary pressures." ? I would expect that lower utilization rates for labor or industrial capacity would reduce inflationary pressure. Unfortunately, our current inflationary pressure comes from the weakness of the dollar (due to our consuming more than we produce as a country), and from commodities, given growth in Asia. Reply
